NNL 2019/2020: Crown FC,Ogbomoso Beat Bayelsa United In The Opener |OGBOMOSO INFO|






The Soun Stadium was agog as the darling Ajilete Warriors supporters, fans and football enthusiasts watch in excitement as Crown FC trash Bayelsa United FC to three goals to one in the opener of the 2019/2020 Nigeria National League(NNL).

Bayelsa United FC took the kick off after a minute silence was observed in honour of the two (2) die hard supporters of Crown FC who passed away to the world beyond few months ago.

Two(2) glaring chances that would have sealed an early dominance for the homers in the third (3rd) and fifth (5th) minutes by Odudu Sunday and Abbey Thompson were missed.

The whole stadium went into silence to the level of hearing the sound of a needle when it dropped when a defensive blunder in the tenth (10th) minute into the game by the Soun Boys saw Bernard Okorowonta, the skipper for the Restoration Boys, wrap in a beautiful bend to put the guests on the lead.

Many efforts to equalise by Crown FC became fruitless until the thirtieth (30th) minute when the very energetic and skilful Abbey Thompson dropped in a ball from Adeyemi Adeyeye's flick on seeing Paul Godwin, in goal for the guests, move out of his comfort zone.

Jubilation was still on when the same Abbey Thompson chested a pass from Odudu Sunday on shielding Ogundimu Mutiu and waved the ball pass Godwin Paul to increase the tally.

The first half ended two goals to one in favour of the Ajilete Warriors.
The Restoration Boys commenced the second half full of hope as Ebosa Chukwu, Erimo James and Kingsley Nwachukwu made very dangerous moves but the experienced Abiodun Akinola and Edoka Owoicho were there to put the pressures under comfortable control.

Ibrahim Babalola, the captain for the Ajilete Warriors for today game, perfectly controlled the ball and located Moses Mustapha who made a touch to Fabode Olaitan. He dragged the ball in between Ojobo Markson and Adebayo Gabriel and laid a pass to Taiwo AbdulRafiu who fired in a ballistic shot to seal the day for the homers in the eighty nineth (89th) minute, making the score line three goals to one (3:1).

The Ajilete Warriors will travel to far away Calabar to play Rovers United at the UJ Esuene Stadium in the Week two (2) fixtures of the NNL.

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

  OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

    By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
