As Nigerians celebrate both Eid-el-Kabir and Children’s Day, President of Showtime Flag Football League, Azeez Amida, has delivered a heartfelt message calling on young people to embrace discipline, sacrifice, unity, and purpose — values he says are shaping the future of both Nigerian youth and the growing success of Showtime Flag Football.
Speaking during the special celebration, Amida praised athletes, coaches, supporters, parents, and families who continue to play important roles in the rapid rise of Showtime Flag Football across Nigeria, describing the league as “a movement built to inspire the next generation.”

“Eid-el-Kabir reminds us of sacrifice, faith, commitment, and selflessness, while Children’s Day celebrates the limitless potential of young people,” Amida said.
“At Showtime, we see these values every single week — young athletes believing in themselves, pushing beyond limits, supporting one another, and using sports as a platform to grow into leaders.”
Under Amida’s leadership, Showtime Flag Football has become one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing grassroots sports platforms, creating opportunities for young talents to compete, develop their abilities, and gain national recognition through the sport.
From dramatic comebacks to explosive performances and rising fan support, the ongoing Showtime Bowl Series XIV season has continued to attract attention across Lagos and beyond, with thousands following the journey of Nigeria’s emerging flag football stars.
However, Amida stressed that Showtime’s mission goes beyond football.
“We are not just building athletes; we are building confidence, character, opportunities, and hope for young Nigerians. That is the true purpose of Showtime,” he stated.
The Showtime President also urged Nigerians to use the dual celebration as a moment of reflection, peace, compassion, and encouragement for the younger generation.
“Children are the future of this country. We must continue to support, guide, and inspire them to dream bigger, stay disciplined, and believe they can achieve greatness both in sports and in life.”
He further assured young athletes that Showtime remains committed to providing a safe and empowering platform where talent, hard work, and determination can thrive.
As the playoff race in Showtime Bowl Series XIV intensifies and excitement around Nigerian flag football continues to grow rapidly, Amida’s message arrives as another reminder of the league’s deeper mission — empowering young people and building community through sports.
And as families celebrate across Nigeria on this special day, one message continues to echo proudly from Showtime Arena:
The future of Nigerian flag football is bright, the future belongs to the youth, and Showtime is proudly leading the movement.
