On Friday, February 20, the
Lady Captain’s Day took place at the golf section of the Ikoyi Club
1938. It was a fun-filled day for all the golfers present and Ngozi
Ngoka, the outgoing Lady Captain of Nigeria’s foremost golf club was on spotlight and she has this to say.
The Lady Captain’s Day is traditionally the day that the Lady Captain sets aside to thank everybody that has contributed one way or the other into making this tenure a success. We deviated from tradition this time around by holding a concert so that everyone would have a good time alongside the tournament. An invitational tournament took place which had in attendance all my golfer friends from across the country.
A lot of them didn’t tell me they were coming; they just showed up. And it was a very pleasant experience for me and I feel very fulfilled because I didn’t know that I had touched so many people in a positive way.
I love music, and I sing in the choir in my church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. And I wanted this event to showcase my lifestyle and also to help as many people as I can. Many of them from the choir are now students at the MUSON Centre. Some of them used to be on the streets, and over the years we have trained them to become very successful. We found out that they could sing and we have done a lot to help them grow in their musical career.
My tenure commenced 18th of February 2014 and it will come to an end on the 24th of February 2015. But before then I was Lady Vice Captain. So this was actually my last big event as Lady Captain. We’ll be having our AGM next week and the last two years, first as Lady Vice Captain, and then as Lady Captain, have been eventful.
