Nigerian fashion designer, Mai Atafo designs blazer for Johnnie Walker Blue Label Golf Challenge
Due to recent heavy rainfall, golfing fans will have to wait just a little longer to find out who will don the blue blazer as the victor of the inaugural Johnnie Walker Blue Label Golf Challenge, the penultimate (third) and final rounds of which have now been merged and will take place on Saturday, 6th September, 2014 at the Lakowe Golf Estate in Lagos, Nigeria.
The prestigious event will see some of West Africa’s foremost amateur golfers vying for spectacular prizes.
Not only will the winner be presented with the first ever JWBL Golf Challenge Blazer – made especially for the occasion by Nigerian menswear designer, Mai Atafo – but they will also attend the esteemed biennial Ryder Cup tournament at the Gleneagles Resort in Perthshire, Scotland, in September as the personal guest of Johnnie Walker.
“The Johnnie Walker Blue Label Golf Challenge Lagos is a fusion of two of Scotland’s greatest heirs – fine whisky and golf, the 600-century-old sport of the sophisticated gentleman. We are proud to bring this prestigious opportunity to West Africa and to expose local golfers to the PGA TOUR’s esteemed Ryder Cup,”  says Mr Joe Nazzal, Head of Reserve Nigeria.
Held biannually, the Ryder Cup is one of the world’s great golfing tournaments and is contested between teams from  Europe  and the  United States  with the venue alternating between courses in the USA and Europe.
Closely associated with the competition is former PGA TOUR golfer and entrepreneur, Simon Hurd, who has competed against the likes of Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Colin Montgomerie, and whose luxury golfing apparel company, Druh, will sponsor the tournament’s extraordinary prizes.
With Nigeria now part of an exclusive club in associating with the Ryder Cup, the Johnnie Walker Blue Label Golf Challenge Lagos at the magnificent Lakowe Golf Estate promises an iconic sporting event which is set to become a classic in years to come.

Memoriam Nayom August 21, 2014
That we may not forget – Stella Adadevoh and Justina Ejelonu
There’s a statue in Yaba, Lagos, of a man, whom many in Nigeria have forgotten. His family never have. And now, we all have a chance to remember him, and in a way, to honour him. He is the man on our one Naira coin.
Herbert Olayinka Samuel Heelas Badmus Macaulay, had a daughter, Sarah Idowu Abigail, who would get married and give birth to a son, Babatunde Kwaku Adadevoh. Babatunde would grow up to become a doctor, and have kids of his own. One of these children, Stella Ameyo, became, like her father, a doctor.
She would go on to work at a hospital in Obalende, Lagos, First Consultant Hospital, not very far from where her famous ancestor was once imprisoned by the British. It was to be at that that place of work that Stella Ameyo was to perform an act that would save the lives of possibly hundreds of thousands, and sacrifice her own in return.
On July 20, 2014, a patient was wheeled in from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport. Patrick Sawyer, the patient, had shown signs of high fever during his flight from Monrovia, and was taken straight from the airport to the hospital. By the next day, his condition had deteriorated, and he was immediately placed under observation, while his blood sample was taken, and sent for tests. That same day, Mr. Sawyer insisted, with the help of officials of the Liberian Embassy, on being discharged. Stella Ameyo, as supervising doctor, stood her ground that he should not leave the hospital. It was at that point, while reinserting his needles, that she came in contact with him, and in effect signed her own death warrant. One of her junior colleagues, Justina Obi Ejelonu, who had the day before when Sawyer was brought in, helped in checking him, also assisted in placing him back in care. Like Stella Ameyo Adadevoh, Justina Obi Ejelonu, has passed away.
There is no other word to describe the actions of both women, and indeed their entire facility. In preventing the escape of you patient who had insisted on leaving, in his condition, for Calabar, 750 kilometres away, both women saved countless lives. What if Mr. Sawyer had decided that the best way to go to Calabar was to go to Jibowu and take a bus? Even if he’d chosen to go by air, which would have made his fellow passengers that much easier to trace, the potential damage is incalculable.
The most tragic part of the passing of both women is that they cannot even be buried decently, and with all the respect that their sacrifice demands. The very bug that cut them down is so virulent, so unforgiving, that even that honour, will be deprived them.
The sacrifice that Dr. Adadevoh and Nurse Ejelonu have made is the highest form of sacrifice that any man, or woman, can make for his, or her, fellow human being. It is said that there is no greater love than to lay down your life for your friend. Both women, and their colleague, put their lives on the line for 170 million of their fellow citizens, many of whom do not even understand the concept of what it means to be a citizen. The very least that Nigeria can do in appreciation, is to honour them. I have a suggestion for such an honour, and not some meaningless title or coin which will soon fall out of use. Nigeria should declare August 19 each year a national holiday, and in the names of both women. That way, some Nigerian child in six decades can ask his parent, “Mummy, who is Stella Ameyo Adadevoh?” And the parent can reply, “That woman saved my life, and the lives of all of us”. It is the least we can do. It is the least we should do.
