N1MILLION UP FOR GRABS AT FIRST FREESTYLE FOOTBALL TOURNEY

Published

on

Feet ‘n’ Tricks International at the weekend announced a winning prize of N1m for the winner of the first edition of the Nigeria National Freestyle Championships scheduled for July 22, in Lagos.

The chairman of the organisation, Valentine Ozigbo, announced this during a press conference where Feet ‘n’ Tricks signed an exclusivity agreement with the World Federation of Freestyle Football to organise freestyle competitions in the country.

Ozigbo described the motive behind bringing the competition to Nigeria was to make the country the home of freestyle football in the world.

According to him, little has been done in the way of promoting, marketing or exploiting one of the most exciting aspects of the game flair which is freestyle.

“Feet ‘n’ Tricks is set to develop and nurture an art, a lifestyle, a passion for many, and also a means to a lucrative career,” Ozigbo said.

“We have so many people out there who are talented in freestyle football and have been doing it on the street for fun, but now they have the opportunity to participate in a competition where they will be rewarded financially.

“The target is to organise a world class event full of credibility and sustainable future. This year’s edition is to test run and then move to the grassroots next year before extending it to other part of West Africa.”

A board member of the organisation, Olisa Adibua, revealed that the winner of the first edition will represent the country at the Super Ball in August in Prague.

Ex-international, Kanu Nwankwo, said: “Football starts from the street and if you cannot make it into real football, the trick is another opportunity to make it through football.”

Apart from the N1M prize money, the winner will also be going home with a new GAC Salon car worth N7M.

Freestylers are advised to log on to the organisation’s website, www.feetandtricks.com to register and later upload their 20secs video for evaluation with the finalists expected to be picked on merit.

Join the Movement to Build a Culture of Proper Waste Segregation and Disposal in Lagos. 

 

As part of its efforts to promote a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment, The Architects Place Ltd In conjunction with the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has launched an initiative to provide proper waste disposal bins across the state.

 

The initiative, which is aimed at building a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal, is designed to encourage residents, businesses, and institutions to properly dispose their waste and recyclables.

The proper waste disposal bins, which are designed to accommodate different types of waste, including recyclables, organics, and non-recyclable waste, will be strategically located in public spaces, markets, and other high-traffic areas.

 

This will help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and waterways, improving environmental health and reducing the risk of disease. By providing separate bins for recyclables, the initiative will encourage residents and businesses to recycle more, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.

 

We urge all residents, businesses, and institutions in Lagos to join us in this effort to build a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal. Together, we can make a difference and create a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment for all.

 

For more information on the proper waste disposal bin initiative, please contact:

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama has rejected the bail request by former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.

 

Bello is standing trial, along with two others, on an alleged N110bn money laundering charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

 

Justice Maryanne Anenih, in a ruling on Tuesday, faulted the competence of Bello’s bail application, stating that it was filed prematurely.

 

Justice Anenih held that, since the application was made when Bello was neither in custody nor before the court, it was deemed incompetent.

 

She said: “Consequently, the instant application, having been filed prematurely, is hereby refused.”
