FOUR (4) REASONS WHY SUPER EAGLES WILL LIFT AFCON 2023 TROPHY TONIGHT


As AFCON 2023 Nations cup draw up to a close tonight with the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Elephants of Cote d'Ivoire, expectations are high! But base on the trends and happenstances since the inception of the tournament, the Super Eagles of Nigeria is being favoured in all of today's prediction, at least for the following reasons:

1. Football ⚽ unites Nigeria:
Considering the division in the country especially since the general election of 2023 where the seemingly 'Mandated' candidate was declared the winner, this game of football is only the brick and mortar mix that is uniting this heavily divided Nation. Recall that the country has been polarised on the basis of political affiliations , religion preference and mostly on tribal inclination. But Nwabali is making not just Igbos smile, but the Hausas and Yorubas alike. Now that the the Eagles have identified this fault lines, they will not allow Cote d'Ivoire to breathe because we all agree and told them, 'No gree for anybody...'

2. Economic hardship in the country:
Nigerians are tired of motivating themselves daily on nothingness that, 'all will be well'. Prices of essential commodities especially food stuff have not been this high in the history of the country!
Dollar is dwarfing the Nigerian naira like Cocoa House of Ibadan. People are lamenting daily and calling on the government to reverse their unplanned and unpopular policies that are obviously causing the hardships amongst others. The supper Eagles win will be a breathe of fresh air , that will take away our minds from the economic realities, at least for the meantime.

3. Foreign Exchange:
Just like the foregoing point, the supper Eagles have been promised huge hard currencies should they win , besides the AFCON 2023 trophy 🏆 worth. Given that Nigeria is in dare need of Dollars to fix most foreign exchange deficits, the supper Eagles win will bring in these monies to the economy of Nigeria. Musa, Nwabali and Aina, all have families looking up to them to help out in this current harsh economy, they won't like to disappoint Nigerians especially their families.

THE VOYAGE

~ A Must Read



About 30 years ago, I slept at the Murtala Muhammed Airport for four days.



No, I was not a homeless vagabond.



I had bought the Nigeria Airways ticket to fly to the United States for a one-year sabbatical leave.



But when I arrived at the airport, I realized that my ticket was not honored, though I had bought it legitimately.



Whenever a plane was about to leave Lagos for New York, the NA officials posted a manifest list, and my name was not there.



They would ask me to wait for the next list.



This drama of “Your name is not yet listed, wait for the next manifest list” continued for four days.



I couldn’t leave the airport and return home because I lived in Ile Ife, and had bid my people goodbye for one year. They all expected I would be in NY already.



I was therefore forced to sleep by the door of the NA office at the airport, waiting for the release of the manifest list with my name on it.



I was not alone. There were hundreds of stranded passengers like me there—men, women, young, old, tall, short, thin fat—all sorts of people.



The Murtala Mohamed Airport was different then than what we have now.



There were no security officers. People drifted in and out in their hundreds. It was rowdy. There was no order of any sort. Food hawkers milled among the crowd of the stranded passengers like me, selling hot dogs, sandwiches, puff-puff, moin-moin, gala, meat pie, hamburgers, even rice and dodo.



People hawked sodas such as Cocacola, Fanta, Sprite and malt drinks.



The interior of the airport was packed like the Oyingbo market. There were also pickpockets and other fraudsters pulling fast tricks on unsuspecting victims.

I was hesitant to buy anything. I had changed all my naira to dollars at the rate of one dollar to three naira. But if I wanted to change my dollar back to naira, I could only collect one naira for my dollar at the airport, which would be a loss.



I was desperate when I got hungry. But someone was willing to give me two naira for a dollar, so I changed two dollars. I bought some moin-moin and coke.



The guys who helped me to change my money said I had no hope of traveling unless I was willing to bribe someone.



I was adamant. I wasn’t going to bribe anybody. It was my right to fly out, after all, I had paid for my ticket.



By day four, I lost hope of traveling out. I used my handbag as my pillow and reclined on the floor, to take a nap.



The young woman who slept a couple of feet away from me was also napping, snoring loudly. I asked her earlier, and she said she had been there for almost a week. She said she was ready at that point to accept the offer of a Nigeria Airways official who wanted sex in exchange for helping her to get on the manifest list.



For how long I had been asleep I couldn’t tell, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I opened my eyes. It was Segun Odegbami, the famous international soccer star, who played for the Green Eagles. I thought I was dreaming. I had met him through a friend, Tunde Fagbenle, and we had shared drinks at Fagbenle’s house in Lagos a couple of times.



I couldn’t refer to him as my friend, and I didn’t even know he would recognize me or remember my name.



I was a fat nobody next to a big star like him, someone for whom Ebenezer Obey had waxed an album, with the chorus, “It is a gooooal, Odegbami,” a bestselling song throughout Nigeria.



When I opened my eyes and it was him, I wanted to close my eyes back, thinking I was just dreaming.



But he spoke to me. “Moyo, what are you doing on the floor here?”



I quickly sat up, wiped my eyes, and smile at him. I narrated my story.



He shook his head, and said with a sigh, “That’s Nigeria Airways for you. I came to see someone off to London, and as I was leaving I happened to see you.”



“Na so we see am o,” I told him.



“Where is your ticket?”



I dipped my hand inside the pocket of my agbada, made out of new Ankara textiles. It had double as my daywear and my pajamas for four days. I retrieved the ticket and gave it to him.



He said, “Excuse me for a minute. Let me go and talk with them.”



Then he went inside the Nigeria Airways office, and within minutes he was back, with two young men.



“Moyo, are you ready to go now,” Odegbemi said, “because a flight is leaving in about fifteen minutes.”



I didn’t need to say yes. My eyes said it all.



The two young men picked up my luggage.



Odegbami gave me a hug and wished me bon voyage.



The two young men led the way with my luggage—just a suitcase and my hand luggage.



They took me to the back of the airport, and there was a Peugeot 505 waiting for us.



They loaded my luggage in the boot and drove me down the tarmac to the huge aircraft about half a mile away.



From a persona non grata, I instantly transformed into a VIP, driven on the tarmac like a departing president.



Nobody checked my luggage for any contraband. Everything was loaded directly on the plane and I was given the luggage tags.



I walked to my seat and sank into it. I couldn’t help but notice that the plane was less than half full.



There were empty seats everywhere when the plane took off. Yet, there were scores of people waiting at the airport, denied their right to fly, after paying their fares.



I remembered the poor woman snoring next to me on the floor at the airport.



Tears began to fall from my eyes.



“If they ever see me again in that godforsaken country,” I swore silently, “they should cut off my head.”

This is truly a great opportunity for researchers.
Well done, Biochem z

https://biochemz.com/

In a groundbreaking move within the realm of academic publishing, Biochemz.com has recently announced a paradigm shift by offering researchers the opportunity to publish their work for free. This bold step marks a significant departure from the traditional paywall model that has long dominated the academic publishing landscape. In this article, we will delve into the implications of this transformative change and its potential impact on the scientific community.

## Breaking Down the Barriers

Historically, researchers have faced numerous challenges when it comes to disseminating their findings. Traditional academic publishers often require hefty fees for publishing, which can be a substantial barrier for many researchers, especially those operating on tight budgets or in resource-constrained settings. This financial hurdle has led to criticism of the academic publishing industry for restricting access to knowledge and perpetuating inequality.

Biochemz.com has recognized these issues and is striving to democratize the dissemination of scientific knowledge. By eliminating publication fees, the platform aims to level the playing field, allowing researchers from diverse backgrounds to share their discoveries without financial constraints.

## Open Access for All

The move towards free publishing on Biochemz.com also aligns with the broader open access movement, which advocates for unrestricted access to research outputs. Open access not only promotes transparency but also facilitates collaboration and accelerates the pace of scientific discovery.

Researchers publishing on Biochemz.com will now reach a wider global audience. This accessibility can foster collaboration across borders and disciplines, potentially leading to more innovative breakthroughs in the field of biochemistry and related sciences.

## Quality Assurance and Peer Review

It's worth noting that Biochemz.com remains committed to upholding rigorous academic standards. The platform will continue to maintain a robust peer-review process to ensure the quality and validity of the research it publishes. This dedication to scholarly integrity distinguishes it from some other open access platforms that may lack rigorous quality control mechanisms.

## The Future of Scientific Publishing

Biochemz.com's decision to offer free publishing services reflects a growing trend in the scientific community. With increasing support for open access initiatives, more platforms are reevaluating their business models to align with the principles of inclusivity and accessibility.

This shift challenges the traditional publishing industry to adapt and find new ways to provide value to researchers. It also prompts important discussions about the sustainability of open access models and how they can be financially viable in the long run.

In conclusion, Biochemz.com's decision to publish research works for free is a notable step forward in the world of scientific publishing. By breaking down financial barriers and embracing open access principles, it empowers researchers to share their work widely, fostering collaboration and advancing the frontiers of biochemistry. This move may well serve as a catalyst for further positive changes in the academic publishing landscape, ultimately benefiting the entire scientific community and society at large.

I guess Elon Musk will sweat to get X trademarked! Elon Musk would likely face challenges in trademarking a single letter of the English alphabet like "X" because it is a common and widely used symbol. Trademarks are typically granted for unique and distinctive symbols, words, or logos that can be associated with a specific brand or product. Common letters or symbols are generally not eligible for trademark protection on their own. However, if "X" were used in a unique and distinctive way in combination with other elements to create a recognizable brand or logo, it might be possible to trademark that specific design or combination.
