A takedown isn't scored simply because it happened. As judges, we evaluate its effectiveness. Did it lead to dominant control, impactful ground strikes, or submission threats? If not, its scoring value is limited.
Some of Nigeria’s future champions are already in the room.
Delta State continues to invest in athletes, officials and opportunity. The next generation is learning the craft, earning its place and preparing for bigger stages ahead.
The future is already taking shape. 🇳🇬👊

May 29th, 2026 :This early morning of the day of my birth I am grateful to God for clocking 60 years.
-Thankful for His Mercy.
-Grateful for the gift of 60 years
-Indebted to Him for his manifold blessings chief of which is the gift of life and gift of my family.
My story long, but let these 2 favorite Bible verses tell it all :
Romans 9:16 “So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy"
Psalm 62:11 “Once God has spoken;
Twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love”.
