Victoria Collins in orange outfit, 2024 best from SOCA
Like confetti, blessings are falling from heaven on Segun Odegbami International College and Sports Academy, SOCA.
24 hours after announcing the good news on Michael Damilare Adedokun, the SOCA graduate that was awarded American Universities’ highest award in football, another big blessing has landed on the lap of Nigeria’s foremost sports secondary school.
The first ever female graduate of SOCA to be recruited into an American University since the specialist institution was founded 17 years ago has ‘happened’.
Victoria Collins will be departing the shores of Nigeria today on a Delta Airline flight to Cumberland University, Lebanon, Tennessee, USA.
Victoria is the best graduating student/athlete of the 2023/2024 set. She has been offered a full scholarship (valued at over $50,000 annually) to study Sports Business. She will be representing the University in athletics and football.
At 17 years of age she is set to take USA Collegiate sport by storm, and conquer the world of sports in the next few years.
Watch out for Victoria. We wish her the very best on this pioneering journey.

Addendum….!
When it rains, it pours.
Have you heard of the Nigerian professional football player called Tolu Arogundade in Racing Genk, the club currently at the top of the Belgian League?
The administrator of SOCA just reminded me that the man leading Genk’s ferocious attack is Tolu, an alumnus also of Segun Odegbami International College and Sports Academy, SOCA, Wasimi, Ogun State. He is currently the highest goalscorer in Racing Genk FC as well as in the Belgian Pro league.
Victor Osimhen is reported to be singing Tolu’s praises lately, and the young man may be at the cusp of an invitation to the Super Eagles, soon.
