Goodwill soccer/football match played between the Nigerian Community Association of Greater Sudbury and Greater Sudbury Police Service
That's what brough the Nigerian Community Association of Greater Sudbury out Saturday for a soccer match with the Greater Sudbury Police Service ., played at Ecole secondaire du Sacre-Coeur."Just you know it's all good to get people outside for this game, so it's not all just work, work, work, without any kind of play," she said.Oriakhi said this follows an effort by GSPS chief Paul Pedersen who contacted the association.
"This is to show that we we support the work, because we have had the chief reach out to us so just to, you know, support each other to ensure that there is this cohesion and community between us and the police," said Oriakhi. "So that it's not when when we see the police, we are afraid of them or that kind of thing. So this is to know that, yes, the police are actually our friends. We can go to them for help and things like that, right.
"We will probably take it easy on you guys," she laughed. Nigerians have a long history of success with international football with a gold medal win at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, silver in Beijing 2008 and bronze in Rio de Janeiro 2016."We talk a lot about a relationship with communities, relationship with all parts of our communities. And I always say it's so much easier to have a relationship when there's a reciprocal feeling of trust.
