NNL: Crown FC Records First Away Win, Tops Group B2 |OGBOMOSO INFO|




Two clinical goals from Sunday Odudu gave Crown Football Club of Ogbomoso the first away win at the Agege Stadium against hard fighting ancient Stationery Stores Football Club of Lagos in the 2019/2020 Week four(4) Group B2 match fixtures of the NNL.

The classical, enterprising and tension soaked game saw the Ajilete Warriors's zeal to score early from the blast of the whistle through the pacy moves at the flanks with Adeyemi Adeyeye firing from both sides of the cylinder upfront, though his efforts could not yield any fruitful results as begging chances were wasted.

Ifeanyi Iheme left footed a lob from Ofozie Chidi in the thirtieth (30th) minutes which hit the ebb of the cross bar to put the homers on the lead.

The Ajilete Warriors, not perturbed with the disastrous goal, kept building from the defense with Moses Mustapha and Muazu Taiwo doing a yeoman job in the midfield ; perfect marking and accurate short and telegraphic passes.

An equaliser came for the goal hungry Ajilete Warriors in the thirty fifth (35th) minute when a free kick from Adeniran Babatunde's charge on Wale Farayola was curved by Muazu Taiwo and stylishly nodded pass Chibueze Obujo in goal for the Lagos based side by Odudu Sunday.
The first half ended a goal apiece.

The substitutions of Adeniran Babatunde, Adepegba Aderemi and Prince Ikegbu by the homers in the forty third,(43rd), forty sixth(46th) and seventy first (71st) minutes nearly paid off but the sharp reflexes and very good timing of Elijah Onyekwere,in goal for Crown FC, prevented the Store keepers from increasing the tally.

The injections of Oshoke Matthew, Fabode Olaitan and Barnabas Daniel for Adeyemi Adeyeye, Wale Farayola and Abbey Thompson in the sixty fourth(64th), seventy sixth(76th) and eighty second(82nd) respectively brought more life into the game with Oshoke Matthew dragging the ball upfront and accurately sizing up the home side.

The very pacy Odudu Sunday made a sharp run from the left flank passing in front of the homers defence line to clinically nod home a well tailored free kick by the same Muazu Taiwo to double the lead and win the game for the Ajilete Warriors in the eighty fifth (85th) minute.

Crown FC now tops the Group B2 log table with nine (9) points from four games and will be byed in the Week five (5) match 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...
