The Badminton Federation of Nigeria (BFN), have just concluded the 9th edition of the Lagos International Badminton Classics, on the 29th of August, 2026.

The indoor sports hall of the National Institute of Sports (NIS),National Stadium, Surulere, the venue for the Classics was filled with participants from countries all around the world came to participate in the tournament which got started on Wednesday 26th.

The Indians dominated the Classics by winning the Men's Singles, Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles. UAE won the Women's Singles while Thailand won the Men's Double, and Nigeria got the medals for women doubles and mixed doubles categories.

So the host players are challenged to achieve more success more especially for international visibility and qualification for LA 28.

Although the result from this very classics is not the single set of criteria for defining the utmost performance or scale needed for the world rating or qualification into the LA 28 Olympic. But the total result of points from the other matches ahead to be played before the LA 28 is most widely cited for qualification for the coming world Olympic game as that remains the most important defining metric for qualification to the LA 28 Olympic game in just two years away.

The Lagos International Badminton Classics is the highest ranked and most prestigious annual open badminton tournament in Africa. It occupies the elite status in Africa and it is sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) and the Badminton Confederation Africa (BCA).

The high class badminton Classics in Africa only became $20,000:00, winner's cash prize this year, and not the only Olympic qualifying tournament for the Olympics, meaning there are other tournament from other countries yet to be played to be considered along.

For the Nigerian participants, it is the bedrock of international exposure to the world class players and games. However, hopefully the coaches and their players are already on the right path to continuous improvement and are yearning for necessary support and sponsorship to participate in more championship, it is being advocated that international exposures, lifstyles changes can infleunce an ability to perform excellently well. So international exposure of the players to the world elite players and high caliber of games, may also bring about lifestyle changes that can influence their ability to improve and perform excellently well in competition within and outside Africa.

The Lagos International Badminton Classics is a way back event and here in the 9th edition, the highest ranked badminton championship in Africa, Twenty six countries (26) from all around the world were represented with one hundred and forty nine (149) players present for the tournament and Out of the 149 players, Nigeria presented forty-seven (47) players for this year’s edition.

HOW TO LIVE WITH BOLDNESS AND CONFIDENCE

Ep 3:12 It is a different thing to have boldness and confidence.it is also a different thing to know that tribulations and trials are like fertilizers to effectual boldness. Trials in life are like the school examination questions set before us for answers but the student who have no researched knowledge pre-prepared to tackle the questions will fail woefully. So, is the issue of boldness in life .To be bold is not of the size of money or quantity of material possession ,not of fame-as some would say the people you know matters, as in, your connection – but it’s the quality of the content you got. Your content is your worth. What you know, the size of knowledge in you, do you even have any content at all? some live life without no form of education either formal nor informal while some others read only to pass examinations, not for acquisition of knowledge to access future benefit neither to upgrade self profile,or for the betterment of the other at large but they say money is the “koko”.please permit me to use the term “koko”. Naturally,one may have money and as well have confidence to add on or the one can have money and as well lack boldness of course Its undisputed - that money is not confidence. money can buy temporal or artificial protection but could not produce security .for instance, I know of a lady who said to me Nigerians don’t read, I disagree, because the newspaper companies never fold up. She forgot that the God of the Nigerians is a reader , the author of the holy scripture ,a God of knowledge. The bible said the people perish for lack of knowledge also without faith no man can see GOD-seeing god begins from here-seeing his manifestations , his act of miracles e.t.c But I wonder if reading is that hard, it’s none other than negligence on the side of the ignorant. Of course not, to me reading is fun. It’s to know, to obtain understanding , just like the G.S.M phone you ‘re having in your hand have a manual and for you to know the use for the value to use ultimately then you ve’ got to read it. Thus, I say reading is knowing. Hence, boldness or confidence is meat need of a fervent reader even of the knowledge and revelation of the counsel of God. Anyone who does not bath in daily learning would dehydrate spiritually, physically. in this regard dehydration means lack of boldness or confidence. when you read you get to know more and you learn to know everything about yourself, how to relate to others, make best decisions .Think of it like this,- the more you build more boldness and trust in your person. Dig into life by learning or studying it by this you can portray decent actions and attitudes. If one lack boldness they misbehave and when golden opportunity comes their way. They mess it up or loss it out because they weren’t prepared for it. The People with lack of boldness or knowledge waste money of course they have no idea of real investment. Like a professor of philosophy once said to me” the problem of this people is poverty of the mind”. For real when the mind is poor confidence is lost, and poverty in all of its ramification set in.
