Edo Pride Celebrates First African Male Bobsled Team

Posted on July 7, 2020

The Edo Pride on their Instagram platform @edopride, recently celebrated the first African male bobsleigh team to qualify and represent Nigeria in next year’s Olympics Games in Japan and the Winter Olympics Games.


The record breaking team, which as a team actively participated in the European Cup, comprise of Osazee Ulamen, Aaron Omere and Elias Omere,  has vowed to make their home country Nigeria proud in the Olympics in two years time.

Osazee and Aaran are both drivers, while Elias is the brakeman and they are all of Nigerian descent and are based in Austria.

According to the promoter of Edo Pride, Mr Kazeem Bello-Osagie, “this is the story of the Nigerian spirit, that is in-built in our DNAs as Nigerians, to accept no limits, even when the odds are stacked against us”.

It would be recalled that in the  2018 Winter Olympics Games,  a crew of three Nigerian females, were the first to represent Nigeria and Africa at the  global winter sports competition.
