Ugwunnaya Erondu, a sports analyst, has bagged the Abia state sports award for 2020.

Erondu is a native of Umuaro Obingwa local government area of the state.

At 11, Erondu, popularly called Doodo-sports, is considered one of the youngest sports analysts in the country.

He is a Manchester United fan who won the heart of many Nigerians for engaging in analysis of sporting events, especially football.

His passion for sports earned him the opportunity to feature on several television stations where he thrilled his audience.

In reaction to the development, Erondu appreciated God for his recognition by the state’s ministry of youth and sports.

He said there are other kids around Nigeria but it suits God to have a child of his age receive such a prestigious award.

The kid said his greatest support system are his parents, and that he was inspired into football analysis by Ebuka, his elder brother who is a soccer player.

Erondu, who is said to have started analysing football at nine, asked Nigerian kids and the youth to always follow their dreams.

Besides sports, Erondu is also tech savvy and with a passion for science.
