Why tolls will not be collected at second toll point on the Lekki- Epe Expressway.- Ambode

  2. Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has stated reasons why tolls will not be collected at the second toll point on the Lekki- Epe Expressway.‎ The Governor in a press release issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna, said he’s more interested in infrastructure development in that area of Lagos than toll collection.
  4. “We must start thinking of the future concerning that road. We said we will have an International Airport in Epe, and an Export Processing Zone in Lekki and a Deep Seaport also in Lekki. Should we not start thinking about how we will improve and create a 10-lane road between Ikorodu, Itoikin, Epe and Ijebu Ode so that people can go out from there? There is no point constructing the road, paying tolls and in five years’ time, the road is gone”
  6. ‎He added that the Lagos-Badagry Expressway,on completion would be opened up for business activities. He also said all hands are on deck to grow the tourism potential of the state.
  8. “As more means of transportation come on board, the more than 600,000 private car owners and 120,000 motorcycles that are being put on the road in the state on a daily basis will reduce in number.”
  10. ‎He continued, “We have said this is a government of continuity, but it is continuity with improvement. It is about making life easier for the people. We are receptive to new ideas and that is why we are going to be creative, innovative and thinking out of the box.”

Chelsea fans brand Peter Cech traitor, snake as he closes in on Arsenal move.

‎Football fans have no chill at all. They called Fabregas lots of unprintable names and even ripped his banner at Emirates down. After serving the club for 11years and helping them win 15 trophies, his move to a rival club would be taken as betrayal. So, they probably won’t have much problem if he was joining AC Milan, Barcelona, Real Madrid or Monaco. Give dude some break!

Peter Cech’s move to Arsenal is reportedly a done deal but the clubs are still keeping the details under wraps. Mail sports reports that the world class goalkeeper’s move to Arsenal costs €11m. He will therefore be the most expensive 32+ year old ever after Cannavaro’s record of €11.5m.

We await official confirmation from both sides.

Top football official reveals how winning the BBC Award and Falcons' World Cup exit devastated Asisat Oshoala.

Super Falcons’ exit from the FIFA Women’s World Cup left Nigeria/ Liverpool Ladies’ FC forward, Asisat Oshoala devastated, top football official reveals.
Oshoala who beat  Veronica Boquete of Spain, Germany’s Nadine Kessler, Scotland’s Kim Little and Brazilian forward Marta to win the maiden edition of BBC Women’s Footballer of the Year award last month failed to impress at the Canada 2015 tournament.  This really got her depressed because she knew she failed to meet up to expectations.

“Shortly after the BBC award was announced, we noticed that Oshoala was behaving somehow. She even went on twitter to say that she does not know what was happening to her. Oshoala became so depressed,” the official said.‎

“The psychologist was with her 24/7 and even other officials, including our leader of delegation (Mrs. Dilichukwu Onyedima) spent time with Oshoala, taking to her not to allow the weight of the BBC Award depress her. But she kept saying that the focus on her was becoming too much. I am sure she is yet to overcome the depression because Oshoala didn’t really perform to expectation in this World Cup. This is not the Oshoala we used to know.” 

She continued. “After we came from behind to draw 3-3 with Sweden, we were all expecting the team to go all out and finish Australia in our second group game. We actually relied so much on Oshoala to prove her worth upfront, but that was not to be.”

“The Oshoala we used to know would rubbish those Australian defenders. On a good day, she would have used that game to announce herself in the competition, but she played as if nothing was at stake. At a point, I began to ask myself if it was the same Oshoala that was playing on the pitch. There was no cohesion in her movement and those amazing skills were nowhere to be found. I won’t blame her much because she is still very young. She may have allowed depression overcome her in this World Cup.”‎

Oshoala was not in the mood to speak after the team’s elimination from the World Cup. ‎NFF board member and chairperson, Women Football Committee, Dilichukwu Onyedima who also noticed her change in attitude held private talks with her.

“The team psychologists really worked on her. I also called her for private talk, where I advised her to focus her energy on the World Cup and forget the attention she is getting from people. I even told her to call her parents to pray for her because I felt that prayer from parents has a great impact on a child. But let us not put all the blames on Oshoala for our inability to do well in this World Cup.

“The NFF actually gave this team the financial and moral support they needed to do well. But that is one of the things in football. We will go back and plan for the future.” Onyedimma said.

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly angry with Real Madrid for the following reasons.

‎Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly angry with his club for these five reasons, AS learns.


1. The club did not protect him during the big controversy that surrounded his 30th birthday party. He hasn’t talked to the press ever since that happened.

2. He learned about his new position on the press. Nobody talked to him about whether he was going to start playing as a center striker or not, meaning that the rumours in the Spanish press were the only thing that let him know Benítez’s plans towards his position on the field.

3. He doesn’t want Jesús Olmo as Real Madrid’s main doctor. The players wanted Pedro Chueca back in the team but Real Madrid decided to keep Olmo instead and make him the central figure in Real Madrid’s improved medical services.

4. Benítez traveled to meet Bale but did not go to see Ronaldo.

5. Casillas and Ramos aren’t being treated fairly. He is worried about their situation and wouldn’t like to go through this same problem in the upcoming years.

Ex Super Eagles player, Femi Opabunmi still in dire need of help


The reason why my headline reads “still in dire need of help” is because he’s been in this sad situation for long and he’s not really received much support. Learnt about his plight few minutes ago via the twitter post of top TV sports presenter/pundit, Godwin Enakhena.

“Ex Nigeria  star is jobless, lost an eye, kids out of school, can’t feed family. Spent savings on operation”‎. He wrote.

‎For those who don’t know him. Femi Opabunmi  played  for Nigeria at the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship, Trindad and Tobago and also played at 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan. 
He was the 3rd youngest player to ever play in the World Cup finals after Norman Whiteside and Samuel Eto’o.‎

Read Excerpts from his interview (culled from omojuwa.com) few years back before he lost an eye.‎

“In December 2006, I was training one day when suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my eyes. I could not see the ball again. My vision became blurred and I decided to see an optician. The woman told me that in a few days, I could be blind if I did not have surgery, I went for it and the surgeon said it was a success.”

” The bill was so much that I was forced to contact a few of my friends. Osaze Odemwingie and Seyi Olofinjana responded by sending some money to me. Others did not even reply my mails or called to know how I was feeling.”

“I was expecting to see again but there was no improvement. I visited the doctor and other hospitals in Paris without a solution. They told me that my problem was a complex case that I was too young for such a painful experience”.
Returning home…

“I went to Ojulowo Eye Clinic in Ibadan but I had no money to pay the bill. When Onigbinde heard about my return to Nigeria, he called me and helped me. He paid my bill at Ojulowo but the problem was only solved halfway”.

‎So sad he and his kids are going through this.
