Today isn’t just another day, it’s a celebration of grit, glory, and game changing passion, Happy 9th Anniversary to Athletic Heat, one of Nigeria’s leading sports media and management company that has redefined what it means to run with purpose. From the very first post to now, Athletic Heat has done more than cover races, it’s covered dreams, broken barriers, and lit up the track with stories that matter. Behind this blazing movement stands a powerhouse, Eseroghene Oguma, the CEO and 2x All American athlete whose heart beats for Nigerian track and field.
Ese Oguma saw the gap, Nigeria had the talent, but no spotlight. So he built one. With a background as a successful athlete himself, Oguma launched Athletic Heat in 2016 not just as a media house, but as a home for every Nigerian athlete who ever felt unseen or unheard.
He didn’t wait for permission, he gave athletes the mic. Today, our platform is where future Olympians and homegrown heroes get celebrated, not just for their medals, but for their journey, discipline, and fire.
For 9 powerful years, Athletic Heat has given young athletes the visibility they deserve, covered local and international events with class and consistency, launched the Athletic Heat Awards, Nigeria’s own red carpet for sprinters, jumpers, and throwers, mentored athletes on branding, sponsorships, and personal growth.
In a country where athletics media often plays second fiddle, Athletic Heat has become the gold standard. Whether it’s the World Championships, African Games, or the local school sports day, their lens is everywhere, capturing excellence. What started in Nigeria has now echoed across continents. Athletes featured by Athletic Heat have gone on to rep the green white green at the Olympics, Diamond Leagues, World Championships, and NCAA meets.
They aren’t just reporting athletics they’re elevating it. Brands now see Nigerian athletes. Sponsors are watching. The world is listening.
As we mark this 9th anniversary, one thing is clear, Athletic Heat isn’t slowing down. The dream is bigger. The team is stronger. The athletes are hungrier. And with Oguma still driving the vision, the fire is only getting hotter.
So here’s to Athletic Heat 9 years of hustle, heart, and headlines.
May the next lap be bolder, brighter, and even more blazing.
Happy Anniversary, Athletic Heat.
