The article "Requiem for Edo Sport" by Patrick Omorodion, published in Vanguard Nigeria, discusses the decline of sports in Edo State, Nigeria. It highlights the historical significance of Edo State in producing notable athletes like Sunday Bada, Ese Brume, and others who have excelled internationally.

Omorodion criticizes the political leadership for not leveraging sports for youth engagement and development, leading to a decline in the state's sports legacy. He calls for a revival of sports in Edo State through better funding, infrastructure development, and a renewed focus on nurturing young talent to restore its past glory in sports.
