So THIS Is Why Sheila Kwamboka Flew To Nigeria

Recently, Sheila Kwamboka announced via social media that she was off to Nigeria and the rumor mill was rife with speculation about what she had gone to do there.

It was widely believed that she had gone to pursue her relationship with Uti Nwachukwu, after he won Big Brother Africa Allstars. But we have now found that that was not the case. Sheila had gone to Nigeria to record a show called Passport, a show where her and the crew of Blackmedly productions are travelling all over Africa to showcase the basketball talent found in the individual countries.

In episode 1 of Passport, Sheila travels to Lagos, Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, where they quickly learn that this country is all about nurturing talent. This week, Sheila sets up camp in a basketball training centre called Warriors Dodan Academy, which has produced two NBA players so far. They find out a lot more about why the Nigerian players play basketball, despite there not being so much money in it right now, and they also find out some interesting tidbits about the history of Nigeria, especially the slave trade.

Take a look below at Passport, the show that looks at local African basketball, culture and what makes these places what they are:
