One of the traditional games, Abula is another game that has gained popularity amongst the sports family in Nigeria.

Watching them play in the national sports festival, it can be seen that more and more people are beginning to get excited about the game.

Speaking with our correspondent,  the last gold medal winning coach of the event at Kada 2009 games, coach Paul Asaah of Team Rivers says he is on the verge of delivering another medal to the state.

“God has been so faithful to us in all our games. All the teams we’ve played with, the lowest has been three – zero winning. We have qualified for the male and female finals and am going to play this afternoon and I hope to qualify as well for the mixed-double.

Am believing that by the grace of God, I’m going to clinch the three gold medals for the state because six festivals, six gold medals for this state that I have given and I hope to give three this year to crown it all and to show that we have prepared enough for this very game.”

He sounds so confident and true to his words, he may be delivering again if he is permitted by his opponents in the finals at the Spiff Diete Sports complex in Port Harcourt.

He faces Ondo for the male finals and Delta for the female finals.
