The True Facts You Don’t Know About MTN Football Scholar





MTN Football Scholar is a youth programme aimed at discovering talents who can combine active football and education at the tertiary level within a scholarship scheme. The project, which is open to students within the age bracket of 14 and 18 year, is a platform for the discovery, nurture and exposure of budding soccer talents who will subsequently enjoy access to scholarship opportunities to soccer oriented universities in the United States and linkages with other international soccer academies. The programme initiated in 2011, enters its third season this year with trials conducted in five centres across Nigeria; namely, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin City, Akure, Abuja and Lagos.  Selected participants from these centres have proceeded to the Academy where they get intensive football and academic training for a period of one month. The month-long training prepares students for the SAT examinations and training under top Nigerian national team personnel and coaches from top American soccer academies. Those who succeed in crossing at this stage would play a final football competition in the watchful eyes of international soccer scouts to select top winners. From here, they will proceed to the second Academy, in August which will focus mainly on academics. The students will receive intensive training on mathematics and English, in preparation for the main SAT exams.  Skeletal lessons on football will also be received at the academy. The programme will run for approximately 4 weeks. The maiden edition in 2011 was an outstanding success. Today we have Nigerian youngsters who are efficiently combining education with soccer, in topmost Universities and Colleges in the United States. Richard Ochefije, who is currently at the Loomis Chaffee School in Connecticut, Abdusalam Oganla-Adbusalam, studying in Knox College in Illinois for a degree in Economics, Anthony Amolo, Berkshire School, in a preparatory academy in Massachusetts and Ifeanyi Edemba who is already at Knox College, studying for a degree in Conservation and the Natural Sciences.
Meanwhile, in the season 2 of the programme, eight lucky participants are already on their ways to study abroad, Oyeniyi Adebare, a-2011-graduate of the International Sports Academy, Waasinmi, Ogun State, where he was both the Senior Prefect and Football Captain has currently secured admission into Skidmore College, New York, USA, Precious Ozoh, from Government Secondary School, Aso Pada, Nassarawa State will also be attending Holderness School in the US, while. Kehinde Sanni from Apex Unique International College Akure, Ondo State and Sampson Isaac, from King’s College, Lagos, have been accredited for Masters School New York, USA, respectively.
It is no longer news that the initiative has continued to gain nationwide accolades, speaking at the press conference to usher in the third season of the project; a scholar and prolific ex-soccer star himself; Chief Segun Odegbami explained how extending education alongside soccer to young talents has been his vision. According to him, this is the best way to ensure that the future crop of Nigerian players and those who couldn’t make a living through the game have some other careers to fall back on. He further mentioned that, ‘the MTN Football Scholar is the only initiative in Africa that combines education with soccer among all youth development initiatives, across the continent.’ 
In the same vein another ex-international at the event, Mutiu Adepoju, ‘the head master’, cited examples of his team-mates, in his playing days in Spain, who are now Medical Doctors and Lawyers. He admonished the select soccer stars, Sampson Isaac, Ekeh-Shadrach Chizoma, Oyeniyi Adebare and Sefia Tega Joel, who have already secured admissions into colleges in the United States and Canada, to represent the nation well and keep their focus. Meanwhile, parents and guardians have embraced the opportunity as an avenue to fulfil for their wards to fulfil their dreams; amidst great expectation and excitement from the hundreds of aspiring young footballers who trooped to Akure Township Stadium for selections into the soccer academy on Thursday and Friday, the elder ones came to give their backups. One of the parents, a 61-year old grandmother, Abosede Adesida, who came with her grandson, Staley Olamide Adesida, a 14-year-old SS 1 Student of Oyemekun Grammar School Akure, said that, he came with boy when she understood that, the initiative will provide an opportunity to combine schooling with football career. More so, a chance to go and study abroad under MTN’s scholarship is offer too much to be neglected. “We you notice a boy as brilliant as Olamide, and at the same time who is well acknowledged in the school that he plays good football, I think a right thinking parent will support such a boy to get an opportunity such as the one provided by MTN”. She declared. Also in Benin City centre of the trials, the Edo State Secretary of Youths Sports Federation Of Nigeria (YSFON) Prince Harrison Iyonoma commended the efforts of MTN Football Scholar in discovering educated Footballers in the country. While speaking at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin during the ongoing trials for the MTN Football Scholar Academy, the football administrator gave kudos to MTN for taking the initiative of organizing a football academy scheme that will go a long way in developing not only the age-grade football but the entire national football. He also encouraged other multi nationals to emulate MTN.
According to Harrison he said “we must give kudos to MTN for this laudable land mark, the programme is a developmental programme aimed at picking the kids from the grassroots, nurture them so that they can act as replacements for our aging players. And it will also give them what to fall back on after their football careers”. He said. Today, MTN Football Scholar remains an unprecedented platform where aspiring football have hope of combing football playing expertise with academics. This is done under the sponsorship of the telecommunications giants, MTN, with the candidates ably shown evidence of good football skills and academic capabilities.

Mike Aremu Relocates To London

Rumour has it that the award-winning saxophonist, Mike Aremu has finally relocated to London with wife and children. His last album ‘Coat of Many Colour’, we gathered was launched recently in London. Though, he promised to launch it in Nigeria for his fans as he now shuttles between Nigeria and London. No doubt, the instrumentalist is one of the foremost saxophonists that we have in Nigeria today but he feels he needs to break more ground, according to a close source.

Midnight Crew Finally Split! …Release Separate Singles

Everything that has a beginning surely has an end. This time around, it is the group of four singers; Odunayo Olamide, Patricia Ohuwaje King, Michael Olayinka and Olugbenga Ademola Oyebola; they are on the verge of losing what they’ve built for several years. Following their success since inception, you will quite agree with the fact that the group is making waves in the Gospel music circle. Their albums, always a must for every home, contain songs that have turned national anthems of some sort. But what astonished many was when Mike decided to drop his own separate singles titled ‘Morire’ and ‘Patricia’ also followed his footstep when she dropped ‘Eze’. According to inside sources, these are the two active musicians among the group and the other two have one or two things they are doing outside music. We scooped that Gbenga is working with a local government council in Lagos while Odunayo works as a teacher in one of the new generation private schools. Prior to that, it’s affecting some of the things they do as a group and they think the best way is for them to have separate singles in order to be able to perform without waiting for any member of the group. Meanwhile, the break-up has not been ascertained as the group just returned from America. But the America Tour, we learnt should have lasted longer than this but due to the fact that two among the four members are working with different employers and they are not ready to lose their jobs at the moment, so they had to cut short the American Tour and stay for sometime before they proceed. The group is still intact as the two singles dropped by Mike and Path were released under the group company, Midnight Crew Limited. It’s not a secret thing. They were all aware of the latest development. 

Wasiu Ayinde In Studio For Aregbesola 2nd Term Campaign

For the past three weeks now, the Olu Aye of Fuji music, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal popularly known as KWAM 1 has been working tediously to put final touches to his latest songs. We learnt the songs are meant to glorify the good works and reasons to support the incumbent governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola for 2nd term ticket in the forthcoming election. KWAM 1 as he’s fondly called is using EKO MIX STUDIO for the recording of the new songs according to an inside source. It will also interest you to know that, the FUJI musician whose  children are following his footstep in the musical world did the same thing for Action Congress of Nigeria leader and the former governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he was the governor of Lagos State and he also repeated the same thing for his successor, Gov. Raji Fashola (SAN).

Aduke Penkele In Police Net

The fast-rising juju cum Gospel musician, Aduke Penkele is presently in police custody. According to information made available to Music Entertainment, the sonorous voice singer was arrested last week Saturday after she failed to appear at a gig she was billed to perform somewhere around Lagos. We scooped the sexy but slim songbird was paid two weeks before the event but failed to keep to her own side of the agreement. On the day of the event, we gathered she was nowhere to be found. This infuriated the organizer that after so much publicity that Aduke Penkele will be on the band stand, she refused to show up. With that, the organizers reported the case to Area G Command Zone in Ogba Aguda, Lagos where she was ordered to be arrested immediately. On getting there, she explained what happened and begged the DPO in charge of the case that she will refund their money but it has to be in installment.

”I have only 8 weeks to survive” – OJB Jezreel


In a recent interview with Encomium we found out that things are not looking Good with Ojb Jezreel at all.

Pls remeber his account details are: Babatunde Okungbowa. UBA – 1015075120. He says he has about 8 weeks to stay alive except he undergoes the operation.

What is the state of your health?

The state where we are is the state we actually need a transplant. When early diagnosis was done it was just a case of Renal Infection. Right now, the two kidneys are gone,but we a running dialysis at the moment.

When did you observe that you have this illness?

It was two years ago, but it was not depreciated to this level. Then it was a gradual process. it was just like a doctor’s prescription to control your blood pressure level. we did all that , but having off and on experience until it got to this stage.

What would you attribute to this ailment?


Most time people tend to atribute kidney problem to drunkenness or smoking. I was told that it doesn’t have anything to do with that, because as much as i drink and smoke then, it was casual drinking. maybe, they offer you a bottle of drink and all that, not that i have to drink 15 bottles or drink all through the day.

How much do you need for a transplant?


For transplant itself, it varies, because the procedure is $25000. The whole process of the treatment from pre-process,transplanting and post-transplanting will cost about $100,000. I(n two years i have spent up to five million which i have been trying to maintain myself. that is why it has been kept secret.
 
When are you going for the transplant?

God willing, i have like 8 to 10 weeks more to get it done. It’s strange, i still walk around a little. I can’t eat much again, N20 rice is even enough. I trust God and Nigerians for their financial assistance.

Vector Leaves YSG Entertainment & Arrested For “Breach Of Contract”

One of Nigeria’s foremost rappers Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, popularly known as Vector Tha Viper is currently at war with his label, YSG Ent – recently discovered to be a division Young Shall Grow Motors company, led by Obiora Obianodo, (Pictured right) the first son of  Chief Vincent Obianodo, the MD of Young Shall Grow Motors Ltd.
The disagreement between Vector and his label started a few months back after the rapper complained about his progress-rate and the label’s nonchalant attitude towards his career and simply suggested more professional hands be employed to help his career, which the label took as a threat, and when they refused to heed to his suggestions, Vector hired hands he was paying personally.
He has been with the label for over four years and never asked to leave, all he asked for according to his camp was more work and results. Things actually got worse after Vector took a self-sponsored vacation to the US and returned to his record boss’ anger, claiming he went to the States to sign a record deal. Continue…
Weeks after, Vector received and invitation letter from the Commissioner of Police of Lagos state and was summoned to the Area-E command (Festac). On getting there, he was presented with a “breach of contract” petition, claiming that he has engaged external hands to work for him. His parents got involved (as his dad is a retired police officer), and it was settled amicably.
Feeling unsafe and threatened, Vector surrendered the car and apartment provided for him by the label and acquired a replacement for himself. Thinking this was over, Vector went about his daily life (as lawyers were already handling the case) till the 10th of June. He was to be shooting his scene of the Ghetto RMX video by Shank, at his childhood neighbourhood (Mcarthy Barracks, Obalende, Lagos), when men of the police force came to seize him and his personal manager (Michael Umoru) and took them all the way back to Festac, this time it was a proper arrest and they were detained from 3pm till 10pm when his lawyers came through.
According to sources close to Vector, he has been receiving series of personal threats from the label, and he hasn’t felt so safe and really did not want to talk to the press about it.
Just yesterday, his twitter account(@vectorYSG) with over 100,000 followers suddenly disappeared, and has been confirmed to be deactivated by his label.
Vectors manager says a new twitter handle @VECTORTHAVIPER has been activated and is now his artistes official handle, alongside the launch of his official Website www.vectorthaviper.com. As at the time of compiling this report, efforts to reach his record label has been abortive.

Laide Bakare Says Her 2nd Husband Impregnated Her; Not Her First Husband


The crisis over who is the real father of actress Laide Bakare's new baby is not going away anytime soon. Her first husband, Olumide Okunfulure, who said they are still married as there has been no formal divorce, is claiming that he "is likely" the one who impregnated her because in the last 9 months leading to pregnancy and delivery, has had intercourse with her several times.

But Laide Bakare has a different stand. Below is her position...
The actress' publicist released the following statement on her behalf:
"This is just to disabuse the minds of skeptics, as a first step. Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, was duly married to businessman, Mr. Tunde Oriowo a.k.a. ATM. These (above) are pictures from the Nikkah ceremony that was held quietly in Lagos. Also, as the pictures speak, Laide Bakare was carrying Mr. Oriowo's baby at the time. 
For the nine months that she was pregnant, during which the Muslim wedding was held, Laide was under the watch and care of no other man but Mr. Oriowo who played well his roles as husband and father. 
Reactions to other pettiness would come up in due course."
You may wish to know that her first husband, Mr Olumide, has challenged her to surrender the baby for a DNA test since she's claiming that he wasn't sleeping with her in the last nine months. *Gobe!

Emeka Ike In A Fake Cheque Mess, May Go To Jail



The controversial former AGN president, we learnt is involved in a bounced cheque scandal that we learnt, may take a jury to get him out.
As the story goes, the actor who received a chieftaincy title in Egbonike, Anambra State and was recently made a Sports Ambassador for the newly launch project ‘RHYTHM and PLAY’ is in serious scandal, but this time, not in Nollywood nor power struggle, but a scam act that involves footballers.
cheque
Emeka Ike decided to give back to the community where he grew up, in Ogudu Ori-Oke Ojota Lagos state, by hosting a football tournament. The tournament was called Desert Football Tournament and was organized by Unity Football Association (UFA)
Emeka said the main reason why he decided to host the tournament was to help young talented footballers discover their talents, and thereby reduce crime rate in Nigeria. He also revealed that Tottenham and Togolese striker, Emmanuel Adebayo, has agreed to assist some stars to be identified at the football tournament, adding that some major clubs in Europe are also sending scouts to the tournament.
On the posters in the streets of Lagos, it was included that Kanu Nwankwo and the Minister of Youth & Sport, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi will be their special guests of honor.
Each team were asked to pay the sum of #3000 for registration and 16 teams participated.
Emeka Ike promised that he was going to reward the winner with the sum of 500,000 naira, the first runner up with N100,000; and the 3rd place winner will get N75,000.
Aside the popular musician, Daddy Showkey, who came to rack up the excitement of the tournament with his presence, no other public figure was present. Six months after the tournament we gathered that, none of the winning team has redeemed their winning as you read this as Emeka was alleged to have totally ignored frequent calls or text messages sent to him after he issued a bank cheque to the guy

Opinion: Monsters who rape women should be treated like the ‘Hawalli Beast’

“The history of every country is carved by the hand of man, while the hope and love of humanity is born of a woman’s soul” – Joe Fazio
Each time I decide to write on subjects that are miles away from politics, I feel this internal joy; the type I am sure my father felt the moment I emerged from my mother’s womb.
The burden of regular commentary on national issues is copulated with headache – sometime acute – and my senior colleagues can attest to this. Writers on national issues always want to hit the nail on the head, so hard that the topic itself left crying out for help, while the readers armed with their personal views take on each other.
Over the years, I have seen films and read stories about how the softer sex are raped, beaten, relegated to the background and even killed for no just reason except being feminine. That apparently is their only sin, same way Amaechi’s wrongdoing is his victory at the Nigeria Governors Forum. There again; politics will never leave you even if you decide to.
Womanhood can be defined as the period in a female’s life after she has passed through childhood and adolescence. However, the word has different meaning to different people. In some cultures, once a girl clocks 18, she is automatically a woman, while some regard you as a woman with the understanding that you are married. To others, the ability to make money and take care of family members qualifies that person to bear the title. Yet to another segment of the society, a girl is ranked a woman the moment she starts having sexual intercourse.
In spite of the several delineations, there is no gainsaying that this set of humans makes our world. They are readily available to share the pain of others, whether relatives/friends or not. An average woman even in her toughness is kind hearted, strong and never-relenting in her day to day activity. Here in Africa, the percentage of the Renaissance woman – the type well educated, sophisticated and knowledgeable in many fields – may fall short of other continents, however, she can do more even with the very little at her disposal.
As tender as they are, it is horrendous that there exist “Monsters” (emphasis is mine as they are not fit to be called men) in both high and low places, who engage in routine battery of their relatives, colleagues, girlfriends, wives and even strangers! Although some later regret the act, to many others, “It’s not a big deal”. I am no preacher but I think those that unrepentantly indulge in such despicable conduct are doomed for life.
For instance, why would someone rape an underage girl, an elderly woman or any age bracket of female for that matter? Some blame it on civilization and all manner of excuses but scratch that; our ancestors’ sexuality was way higher due to their healthy lifestyles, but they controlled themselves, except of course the very few bad eggs. Placing then and now in context, the spate of physical and sexual assaults stand worlds apart.
Fews days ago, precisely June 18 2013, two condemned men in Kuwait – one of them Hajjaj Saadi – were executed for crimes said to have shook the nation known for moral decency. Authorities say the 33 year-old man abducted and raped young children (mostly girls under the age of 10). Also known as ‘Hawalli Beast’ (the name of the district where he perpetrated the crimes), Saadi would lure the kids onto rooftops in the area then forcefully rape them.
To send a warning message to those contemplating or carrying out such act, the bastard and the other guy were both hanged on a gallows set up in a car park outside the country’s main prison. Here, governors shy away from signing the death warrants of men found guilty of committing heinous crimes against women, but rush to sign cheques for their concubines as well as rogues they use as front to siphon public funds.
To the men folk, it is high time we desist from raising our hands on these beautiful creations. If only we reflect soberly about the pains our mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends, neighbours et al., go through during menstruation or childbirth and how weak they become after losing pints of blood, perhaps we would appreciate them more than we do at present.

Lautech Female Student Killed With Eyes & Private Parts Removed

It seemed like another normal day at Jastok Guesthouse Under G Ogbomosho yesterday 20th of June 2013, until the mutilated body of an undergraduate was discovered behind the hotel.
The deceased, a female student of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH was yesterday found dead around 10pm. Her brain, eyes and breasts were removed. The hair on her private part was shaved too.
The lady now identified as Seun was before her untimely death a 100 level student of Transport Management Department at Lautech. She was declared missing by her friends and room mates after she was last seen four days ago.
Following the discovery of the body, some of her close friends were forced to disclose that she left the hostel days ago for a party and hadn't returned since then, leaving many to suggest that perhaps she was raped to death and eventually used for some form of rituals.
The deceased's boyfriend has been arrested and handed over to the police as the prime suspect.

Wizkid invited by policemen at Zone 2 Command today

Wizkid and his manger Godwin Tom were invited by men of the Nigeria Police Force - Zone 2 Command, Onikan, today June 19th after students of the University of Lagos reported the music star to the police.

The students claim that Wizkid collected N500, 000 from them as full payment for a show that was supposed to hold at UNILAG Sports Centre on May 24th tagged Concert of Life. They claim Wizkid didn't show up for the show and didn't return their money so they went to the police.

Wizkid was at Zone 2 for a few hours this afternoon with his team. He was bailed by his lawyer after he wrote a statement and was asked to report back to the station next week.

I reached out to Wizkid's camp but they kept mum on the matter. But someone privy to the case said they believe an impostor collected the money and not Wizkid. Hopefully, Wizkid's camp will eventually release a statement clearing the air.

ROCHAS OKOROCHA’S LINK WITH LAZARUS MUOKA

The success recorded so far by the governor of Imo State, Rochas Owelle Okorocha has been hailed by many in the state. Many of his close allies who had been with him before he assumed the position have reiterated that his philanthropic nature has been working for him coupled with his spiritual link, which they said is very strong. According to information, the governor before his position took the Lord Chosen Pastor, Lazarus Muoka as one of his major spiritual fathers, the Pastor they said is one of the spiritual pillars behind the governor. We gathered that apart from the spiritual aspect, he listens to any advice given to him by Pastor Muoka because he was one of the few pastors who predicted he would govern the state, thus, he holds him in very high esteem.
