This should have been their opportunity to fill into the void left by uber.

They offer procurement services through mortgage, translating into a ride hailing business would have been complex and costly for them.

A Comprehensive and Objective Examination

King’s College Lagos, founded in 1909, is one of Nigeria’s most iconic Unity Schools. These schools were created to promote national integration, merit based access, and shared identity across all regions of the country. In 2026, the Federal Government approved a Public Private Partnership concession under which the King’s College Old Boys Association will finance, rehabilitate, modernise, operate, and maintain the school, while the Federal Government retains legal ownership and regulatory powers. The concession is for a thirty five year term, after which the school’s management and all rehabilitated assets revert fully to the Federal Government, subject to renewal or review based on performance and national interest.

This development has generated significant debate among parents, teachers, alumni, civil society, and the wider public. The issues involved are complex and deserve a calm, objective, and comprehensive examination.

Background and Stakeholders

The Federal Government:
Its interest is to uphold national integration, standards, and regulatory control, while reducing fiscal pressure and improving infrastructure in Unity Schools.

The King’s College Old Boys Association:
Its interest is to protect the legacy of the school, upgrade facilities, improve management, and ensure long term sustainability. The association has historically invested heavily in infrastructure and interventions.

Parents and Guardians:
Their interest is affordable fees, quality teaching and facilities, safety, and non-elitist, merit-based access for their children.

Teachers and Non-Teaching Staff:
Their interest is job security, fair remuneration, clear career progression, and protection of labour rights during and after the transition.

Students:
Their interest is a quality learning environment, fair and transparent admission, continuity of schooling, and non-discriminatory policies.

Civil Society and the Public:
Their interest is the preservation of the national character of Unity Schools, equity across regions, and avoidance of creeping privatisation of public education.

Verified Terms of the Concession

Ownership
The Federal Government retains full legal ownership of King’s College. The school is not sold and not privatised.

Duration
The concession runs for thirty five years.

Role of the King’s College Old Boys Association -
The association will finance, rehabilitate, modernise, operate, and maintain the school. This includes academic and administrative buildings, hostels, staff quarters, laboratories, libraries, dining and health facilities, utilities, sports facilities, landscaping, drainage, and environmental works.

Argentina Gave Lionel Messi a Perfect Send-Off Yesterday

There are football moments that feel bigger than the game itself. Yesterday was one of those moments.

Argentina gave Lionel Messi the kind of farewell every football legend dreams of — in front of his people, wearing the famous blue and white, surrounded by teammates and supporters who have watched his extraordinary journey unfold.

For more than two decades, Messi has carried the hopes, expectations and emotions of an entire football nation. Yesterday, Argentina had the opportunity to celebrate him once again — and they made it a moment to remember.

A Career That Changed Argentine Football

Messi's relationship with Argentina has never been a simple one.

For years, despite winning almost everything at club level, he faced relentless criticism whenever success with the national team proved difficult. Comparisons with Diego Maradona became unavoidable, and every major tournament brought enormous pressure.

But Messi eventually silenced the doubters.

The 2021 Copa América triumph ended Argentina's long wait for a major international trophy. Then came the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar — the tournament that completed Messi's extraordinary international story.

Leading Argentina to World Cup glory and winning the Golden Ball, Messi finally achieved the prize that had eluded him for so long.

The celebrations that followed were among the most emotional scenes football had witnessed.

From Hope to Hero

Messi's journey with Argentina was filled with heartbreak before it became a story of triumph.

There were painful defeats, missed opportunities and moments when it seemed that international glory might never come.

Yet he kept returning.

That persistence eventually transformed the narrative surrounding him. The young player who once carried the burden of being compared with Maradona became the leader who guided Argentina back to the top of world football.

Yesterday's occasion was therefore about much more than another football match.

It was a celebration of an era.

Argentina's Perfect Tribute

What made the occasion particularly special was the opportunity for Messi to experience the affection of Argentine supporters once again.

The chants, the flags and the emotional atmosphere served as a reminder of just how deeply Messi is connected to the country.

For many Argentines, Messi is no longer simply a footballer.

He is a symbol of perseverance, excellence and national pride.

His story represents the journey from a young boy with extraordinary talent to one of the greatest players football has ever produced.

And perhaps the most beautiful part of it all is that Argentina's relationship with Messi has come full circle.

There was a time when some questioned whether he could truly become an Argentine legend.

Today, there is very little left to debate.

The End of an Era?

Messi's international future has naturally become one of football's biggest talking points.

At this stage of his career, every appearance carries an additional significance. Supporters know that they are watching the final chapters of a career that has defined an entire generation.

But whether yesterday marked the beginning of the end or simply another chapter, one thing is certain:

Argentina gave Lionel Messi the send-off he deserved.

He gave Argentina unforgettable nights.

Argentina gave him something equally valuable in return — unconditional love, recognition and the knowledge that his name will forever be woven into the history of Argentine football.

A Legend Forever

Football eventually moves on.

New stars will emerge. New teams will win trophies. New heroes will capture the imagination of supporters around the world.

But some players transcend generations.

Lionel Messi is one of them.

From Barcelona to the World Cup, from teenage prodigy to global icon, his career has been defined by extraordinary talent, consistency and an almost unbelievable ability to decide football matches.

Yesterday, Argentina reminded the world that legends deserve to be celebrated while they are still on the pitch.

And for Lionel Messi, there could hardly have been a more fitting farewell.

Argentina gave Lionel Messi a perfect send-off yesterday. And football will never forget the man they were saying goodbye to.

Nollywood Titan Femi Adebayo Unveils State-of-the-Art ‘Euphoria 360 Media Hub’ in Lagos.

The landscape of African filmmaking and digital content creation just took a massive leap forward. On October 6, 2026, celebrated Nollywood actor, producer, and entrepreneur Femi Adebayo officially commissioned the Euphoria 360 Hub, a cutting-edge digital media and film production facility located in the bustling creative district of Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos.
Serving as the new headquarters for Euphoria360 Media Ltd, the launch marks a monumental milestone not just for Adebayo, but for the entire ecosystem of Nigerian entertainment.

## A Star-Studded Endorsement for Innovation
The grand opening was a vibrant celebration of culture and collaboration. The facility was officially unveiled by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, underscoring the government's recognition of the creative economy as a vital driver for youth employment and regional growth.
The event also drew immense industry support, featuring legendary veteran actor Adebayo Salami (Femi’s father) alongside a constellation of top Nollywood stakeholders, filmmakers, and cultural icons.

## Inside the One-Stop Creative Sanctuary
The Euphoria 360 Hub is structurally designed to dismantle one of the biggest hurdles African creators face: fragmented production pipelines. By offering an all-in-one ecosystem, the hub caters to projects from the initial spark of an idea down to its final theatrical release.

Key features of the new facility include:

* Next-Gen Production Infrastructure: Fully optimized photography studios, massive soundstages, and advanced music production suites.

* High-End Post-Production: State-of-the-art facilities dedicated to video editing, sound engineering, and complex visual effects (VFX).

* Media & Strategy Suites: Spaces dedicated to corporate advertising, public relations, media consultancy, and strategic content distribution.

* Commercial Appeal: The hub features integrated public cinemas and collaborative conference rooms designed for industry networking.

Already Making Waves in Pop Culture
Though only recently commissioned, the hub has already proven its elite status. The facility recently served as the primary location for the highly anticipated music video shoot for Davido’s hit track "B4 B4" (featuring Mayorkun and Fola), proving that the space is already a preferred playground for Africa’s biggest musical acts.

#Investing in the Next Generation: The Euphoria360 Film Academy
Beyond high-end gear and beautiful studios, Femi Adebayo is intentionally tying this launch to industry sustainability. The facility houses the Euphoria360 Film Academy, a specialized training ground built to discover and nurture raw talent.

To kick off this vision immediately, the hub announced a free three-day masterclass scheduled for late October 2026. The initiative will offer young, aspiring filmmakers, actors, and digital creators direct access to hands-on internships, professional workshops, and mentorship from seasoned industry professionals.

With the launch of the Euphoria 360 Hub, Oregun cements its place as a core central node for Nigerian media. For creators looking to elevate their art, the future has officially arrived.

BlackViper:
After the fraudulent manner that he manipulated FIFA’S Executive Board to give the World Cup hosting rights to Qatar in 2022 and Saudi Arabia Arabia in 2034, I've been wondering when he will be impeached.

The man is a shady character. Nigeria should sue FIFA at the Court of Arbitration for Sports, but unfortunately I don't think we have the guts to do it.

It's exactly why fifa could not ban Nigeria after the fg removed the nff chairman last month . Many countries have dirt on fifa , uefa and co .and use it when they deem fit .

Ogiame everything is not by evidence according to Peter Obi, just accept that you got 2.7 trillion or part of it , shikena!

You see that 2 years rent part, that's just one of the many lies he told in his sob story. Rent is paid monthly in Canada and average rent for a very modest apartment in Canada is $1000cad. The way their rent structure is, you can pay your rent for a few months upfront but a whole 2 years? I don't think any agency will accept that from anybody.

If he can be lying about 2 years rent, I wonder what else hesying about

It may not be a lie , he may have given her money to cover for at least 2 years to open an account specifically for rent, I know a friend who converted almost 75m into dollars and kept in a bank just to have enough to buy off a home in Canada very quickly.

Nigerians can be very ingenious when it comes to japa.

That is a genius process of rescuing the boy.
I guess that seems not to be the first time that would happen. They’ve probably have had these children’s head stuck in the past for them to have developed such way to rescue them

This is the first time the OP will post something sensible and inspiring on Nairaland, he didn't see any bad news to post about tinubu or naija this weekend.

A gold refinery in private hands against a NATIONAL Refinery
Again did you read what you posted?

Wether national or private owned a refinery serves the same purpose which is to create local process8ng of raw materials are you always slow in logic or you are just trying to be funny ?


Cos using your logic that means dangote refinery is useless cos it's not govt owned? SMH! Too many dull people on Nairaland.

LZAA:
Did you read what you posted?

You read it and tell us since I didn't read it .

Many of the people comparing Nigeria dont even know Nigeria has a functioning gold refinery already .SMH.

That road has been in existence since the days of Rear Admiral Ndubiisi KANU as governor of Lagos state.

Buba Marwa expanded and renovated it,

tinubu only divided the road with concrete barriers.
You people should stop crediting tinubu with other people's work, eg Marwa,fashola Ambode etc.

Tinubu only patched portholes on existing roads.

Naptu2 come and hear this clown

ugonwagod:
Thank you OP , please let tinubu supporters show us any road constructed by tinubu as governor of Lagos state - 1999 to 2007.

Have you passed kudirat abiola way oregun before ?

bestman09:
I think the decision is right. However, the refree should be sanctioned for failing to apply the right rules

I'm surprised I didn't see anything mentioned about what would happen to the match officials.
