The Spot Kick Challenge, a groundbreaking initiative by Alhaji Abdul Hakeem Oyetayo Oladimeji, better known as MC Handsome, was lunched on Wednesday July 12, 2023, coinciding with his birthday celebration at Ikolaba High School in Ibadan.

This inaugural edition received tremendous support from ATM (Akande Tunde Movement), Cool Global Inter Links, Akinyemi Electrical, Role Model Entertainment, and Taovics Men’s Outfit.

Among the notable personalities, journalists, and sports enthusiasts in attendance were MC Handsome, Kenny Ogunmiloro, Dr. Samuel Gbesabi, Afeez Muhammad Cantona, Emperor Adetoro Imoyosola, Babatunde Saheed Mr. Sports, Olawale Hamzat Top Striker, Adeshina Jagunmade PAJ 1, Akinwale Fasasi Wiseman, Jubril Arowolo, Dr. Kolapo Temitope Glorious, Dr. Akande Kazeem Babatunde ATM, Alhaji Hamzat Oba Cool Global, Alhaji Adebayo A’Rahmon Adebash, Alhaji A’Rasaq A’Ganiy Mr. GRA, Sola Ayegbasports, Seyi Adedire, Coach Adio Ayodeji, Abiala Dahunsi Kaka, Ibraheem Oladimeji Imolesports, and others.

After a fiercely contested challenge, Afeez Muhammad Cantona emerged as the winner, with Babatunde Saheed Mr. Sports securing the second position and Jubril Arowolo claiming the third position.

According to MC Handsome, although some may perceive the Spot Kick Challenge as a fun-filled competition, it holds a deeper significance.

The convener compared it to the concept of penalty kicks in football, where they serve as a consequence for a player’s wrongdoing.

In this challenge, some participants effectively utilized the opportunity, while others faltered.

MC Handsome emphasised that “in life, one should strive to capitalise on the available opportunities and never lose hope.”

“Even if one chance is missed, there may still be a beautiful opportunity that can lead to success. Patience, prayerfulness, and the ability to make use of opportunities are key,” he said.

The participants warmly praised the organiser for arranging such a dynamic sports exhibition.

Babatunde Saheed Mr. Sports expressed his reaction, saying, “The Spot Kick Challenge is an invaluable addition to sports development. It brings together individuals from diverse fields. It is a pioneering event deserving of applause.”

Other individuals who shared their thoughts after the final whistle remarked, “They had no idea it would be so captivating initially but were pleasantly surprised by everything they witnessed. They encouraged the organizers to incorporate additional attractions and seek more substantial sponsors for future editions.”

MC Handsome extended his appreciation to all those who contributed in various ways to this year’s edition and formally declared that the Spot Kick Challenge would now be an annual contest.
