Nigeria is a country which has suffered greatly through sectarian violence, as Muslim and Christian clash and news of massacres are only too common on our television screens. As a response to this, Onside Soccer is setting up a project in Jos, in northern Nigeria, an area which has seen some of the worst of the violence.
Coaching in Jos for Onside Soccer will be Henry Dakat, former professional player with Plateau United and currently studying with Youth With A Mission in the U.K. Henry has a passion for his fellow Nigerians and has seen first hand how football can unite his countrymen where everything else has failed. Henry is returning to Nigeria in late 2012 to set up a project to bring Christian and Muslim players together and is also looking at setting up a further project in Lagos, working with a number of churches in that area.
