Olympic Torch Relay 2012

Funke Khadijat Akindele Oloyede, Banky W, Kanu Nwankwo and Steve Onu popularly called Yaw have been named as Nigeria’s representatives to bear the prestigious Olympic Torch.

This is the second time a Nigerian musician would be selected to feature in the ceremonial initiative. Rapper Eedris Abdulkareem was part of the Nigerians selected to carry the torch in 2001.

Those nominated from the UK (apart of course from the celebrities or the Queens granddaughter) all have touching stories and have managed to affect the lives of those around them one way or the other.

In Bath, 19-year-old James Eynon will be a torchbearer after being nominated for helping in a campaign to save his former school in the city from closure.

He said: 'My radio interviews speeches and pieces in the local newspaper helped to overturn a decision to close my school just weeks before the closure was finalised.

'I have already shown that if you put your mind to things you can achieve your desired goal.'

Everywhere the procession goes, a small army of support and ancilliary vehicles is also called into service. In Cornwall on Saturday, for example, the convoy was escorted by police motorcyclists bearing the emblems of five separate constabularies.
