Jonathan Omini is undoubtedly a rising leader in Yakurr. He has made a big impression, especially among the young people who find him generous, kind, accessible, approachable, and their true leader in the real sense of the word. Jonathan Omini from Ajere, Ekori town, is the originator and creator of the Yakurr World Cup
He is a burgeoning successful businessman with a large network, connections, and contact across the country, which he was able to weave from his upbringing and education outside the State.
He is the managing director and CEO of Xavier Group, which has its tentacles in oil and gas, construction, estate development, and general merchandise.
Jonathan is a football enthusiast and a philanthropist of no means repute, who started the KONFONOH(Unity Cup) at four years old. The 2021 version is christened KONFONONOH YAKURR WORLD CUP. KONFONONOH signifies Togetherness, collectivity, and unity.
The friendship and relationship
Jonathan has cultivated among his schoolmates and neighborhood, where his father, a police officer, resided while in service. He has given national exposure, which he has utilized to create his burgeoning business enterprises.
Jonathan Omini's football tournament, which he has floated to promote friendship, comradeship, brotherhood, and a sense of integration and unity among the young people of Yakurr, the community, is a pointer to the fact that he sees Yakurr unity as paramount to the promotion of good neighborliness and a catalyst for economic and social development of the Yakurr people.
Jonathan uses football and sports to encourage a culture of discipline, industry, and love among the young people to remove negativities such as unnecessary rivalry and fratricidal warfare that has taken the lives of many young people in Yakurr.
Ultimately, his goal is to use the tournament to identify talents that he will use his contacts and network to source for foreign professional football clubs in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas that our young footballers will play to make money to use to fight the chronic poverty and lack of opportunities our young people have continually suffering which make some of them to recourse to negativity arising out of frustration, hopelessness and generally inculcating hatred and anger that they readily unleash on their communities causing mayhem, havoc, and death.
Some of these young people are willing tools in the hands of selfish leaders to promote inter-communal conflicts rampant in our Yakurr community.
In the spirit of generosity and giving, Jonathan is donating football boots, goalkeepers kits, jerseys, and football boots to all the participating teams.
The tournament will kick off on 28 November 2021. The final is scheduled to be played on 2 January 2022.
