Cecil Chukudi Uzowulu Egwuatu (born February 29, 1980 in Hamburg ) is a former German basketball player and fitness trainer of Nigerian descent. Egwuatu played 49 Bundesliga games during his professional career and was under contract with clubs in other European countries. Since 2020 he has been spreading conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic on his YouTube account .

Career

Egwuatu played as a teenager at Eimsbütteler TV and from 1994 at SC Rist Wedel . In Wedel, the exceptional talent, who was characterized in particular by good ball control and attacking play, was already a top performer in the second division squad as a 16-year-old, and Egwuatu was a member of the German junior national team. At the elimination tournament for the final round of the European Junior Championship, which was held in Germany in August 1997, he was the best scorer of the German team with an average of 17.8 points per game, but missed the European Championship qualification with the selection. In 1998 he moved to Wedel arch rivals BCJ Hamburg , with whom he promptly rose to the first division in his first season.

After a season with the "Tigers" he went to the first division club SSV Weißenfels after there had been different views in Hamburg between Egwuatu and the sporting management about his role after the first division promotion. During the 1999/2000 season, the league-internal change to TSK Bamberg followed . Egwuatu scored an average of 5.9 points for the Franks in eleven Bundesliga games. For the 2000/01 season he went to Austria, where he played for the first division club Arkadia Traiskirchen , with whom he also competed in the European Cup, before returning to BCJ Hamburg in January 2001 . There he finished the 2000/01 season. With 12.3 points per game in 19 Bundesliga appearances, he was a top performer for Hamburg, but missed relegation with the team.

From November 2001 to January 2002 Egwuatu was under contract with the Spanish second division club Los Barrios Cadiz and was used in four league games (5.3 points / game). He then played for BCJ's successor club BC Hamburg in the regional league, then went to the French second division team Olympique d'Antibes , switched to Bundesliga club TBB Trier in spring 2003 , for whom he scored an average of 11 points in 19 Bundesliga appearances, and played during the season 2003/04 for the Finnish club Porvoon Tarmo.

In 2004 Egwuatu went back to SC Rist, which has now started in the regional league, and excelled in the league with an average of 29.4 points. In the 2005/06 season he increased his statistical values ​​in the jersey of the Baskets Hamburg (also Regionalliga) and scored 39.5 points per game. In the 2006/07 season Egwuatu played again for Wedel and was again the best offensive player in the Regionalliga with an outstanding 39.4 points per game. His record is 57 points (scored in the game against Febro Baskets Magdeburg on November 12, 2006).

After his basketball career, Cecil Egwuatu remained connected to the sport and worked as a personal trainer and nutritionist in Hamburg. He had his own personal training studio in the Alt-Osdorf district. From 2008 he was also self-employed in the real estate industry. In October 2018 he emigrated to Dubai , where he started a company.

Activities on YouTube

Egwuatu operates a channel on YouTube under the name “Coach Cecil”. There he distributes videos on the subjects of sport, nutrition and other social issues.

In addition, he publishes alleged facts about the corona virus, which have met with a great response in the German scene of conspiracy theorists. In it, he presents the COVID-19 pandemic as a possible means of restricting democracy and introducing a dictatorship in Germany. Egwuatu uses the great attention that his videos receive to advertise his dietary supplements and vitamin preparations. At the end of March 2020, Egwuatu published a video about an alleged conspiracy by the World Health Organization , Bill Gates and leading German researchers to use the coronavirus to abolish democracy. YouTube deleted the video, but it is still available on other YouTube channels. Egwuatu had previously explicitly asked his viewers to share, as "Democracy in Germany [...] is apparently no longer wanted".
