 Well, let's take you now to other parts of the country where the paramount ruler of the Bachama Kingdom, Adama State, Daniel Shagai, Smiler says peace can be achieved through sports. The traditional ruler seated this in Numan during the opening ceremony of Numan Federation Volleyball Unity Cup tournament for both men and women. Details here. The Hama Bachama says that all over the world, sports does not only provide opportunity for youths to engage themselves in activities that abuse them mentally and physically but it is also a unifying factor. According to him, the volleyball tournament has again brought together people from all parts of the Numan Federation to play and also discuss ways to revamp the last glory of sports. He also said that the last time such event took place was about seven years ago. We all have different objectives in life and we all have different pursuits but what we need in this country most today is peace and we have to work for it and the only way to work for peace is to begin to bring people together. People that don't talk to one another, they can't have peace. People that stay away from one another, they cannot have peace. They don't interact, no dialogue, nothing, you just stay like that. The young people are idle, they are just like pellets in the hands of enemies. So we have so many people that are idle, then the leaders are not talking, every small thing ignites problems and we are hoping that peace will come. We have to work for peace. The chairman of the state volleyball association said the need to revamp the game became imperative because the stars are aging and if nothing is done there will not be players to represent the Federation. He added that sports development should not be left in the hands of government alone. Honestly, this game is very difficult to host a human federation as a team because we are bringing our youth together, we are bringing the whole local government together. One of the players thanked the organizers for bringing youths together because such an event will go a long way in creating peaceful co-existence within the Newman Federation. Yes, actually we really appreciate the sponsors, though it may have been too hectic for us. We've been training for long weeks with no friendlies or tournament ahead of us. So we really appreciate, we are hoping for such kind of sponsors to come over so that they may pick players from grass roots. We have many players on ground. In the opening march, Newman volleyball team defeated Shelling by three straight sets to zero, same as Demsa against Yuku team. All the five local government areas in the Federation are taking part in the tournament.
