The Maracana Pitch at Tolu in Ajegunle is a famous football ground where many Super Eagles players have been discovered. Along with the Navy Pitch (also in Ajegunle), Maracana pitch has been the breeding ground for stars like Emmanuel Amunike and Wilfred Ndidi.

Chief Nathaniel Idowu was a multimillionaire who pumped a lot of money into Nigerian football in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. He was the chairman of Leyland (they made trucks and buses at their plant in Ibadan), owned several hotels (if I remember correctly, he owned Newcastle Hotel in Anthony Village) and I remember that he also owned a bank, but I can't remember which one. He also had shares in Tottenham Hotspur football club. He pumped so much money into Nigerian football that the Federal Government appointed him to the NFA board. One of his children, Yemi Idowu took over his businesses after he died (he was behind the renovation of the Maracana Pitch in Ajegunle), while another of his children, Phillips Idowu competed for Great Britain in track and field athletics. Chief Nathaniel Idowu died in 2010.

The Nathaniel Idowu Foundation was responsible for renovating the Maracana Football Pitch in Ajegunle.

The structure in that first picture looks like a school building?

It’s been a long while since I watched a high-octane heart-racing movie such as this. Chris Hemsworth has always been one of my favorites. Although the closure of this movie didn’t really sit with me. The masterminder (old man) of the heists gets to walk.

Crime 101 (2026) . I rate this movie 8/10.

I am currently watching this. Been okay so far.

You mean to begrudge a sea-farer for being overly dedicated to his trade?

Same trade that feed majority of we consumers at dirt cheap subsidised cost?

Don't go developing a conscience on us now, eat and let's eat

This same people who hijacked a political party, are the ones lampooning the APC, and calling them all sort of names.

There actions show exactly what they'll do, if ever they get access to Aso Rock. Tssk.

Oh boy. I don even dey expect sef, I mean with all the gore, Dem for add am join oh, to spice am up.

King and Conqueror...... 8.5/10

Top tier historical action drama about the political upheaval in England for who ascends the throne in the 11th century. William of Normandy and Harold of Wessex become locked in a war for who becomes King of all of England.

Brutal pic, some strong gore. Great writing and pacing. Top notch acting and delivery from Nicolai Coster Waldau and James Norton playing William and Harold respectively.

One of the great addition of 2025.

No bress?

Makw una chill with the way una dey drop spoilers on Invincible na. Haba. Few of us dey wait to binge Season 4 shapaly.

Blord or whatever his name, just thinks he can use people's identities and get awAy with it. Hian.

Most of these banks are rogues. They think they're mostly dealing with fools, as such, they misbehave and do what they like.

This is a victory for the defendant and a lesson to banks. People should learn from this. It is always prudent to go to court and never take laws into your hands. Even though it takes time, the wait and victory is worth it, always.

Star Wars: Maul is something I'm def going watch.

there is absolutely something wrong with this Blessing CEO of a person. Isn't she the one who posed with someone else's house and claimed it as her own?

This woman really needs psychiatric evaluation.

Illusioneffect:
I probably was the biggest hater of the casting but somehow it has actually grown on me as i just finished the books again and I can totally get their point. The argument being made is that casting a Black Snape actually gives a much more coherent, grounded explanation for his isolation at Hogwarts — he wasn't simply born cold, but was actively shaped by a society that refused to let him in. His outsider status, his need to forge an alternate identity as the "Half-Blood Prince," his desperate need to belong somewhere — all of that hits differently with racial context added. It deepens the character rather than contradicting it. The show has actually set itself up to make Snape more sympathetic than ever, which makes Harry's hatred of him feel even more poignant when the full truth comes out. Done right, this casting doesn't create a racism problem — it creates a richer story.

Wrong, very wrong. Casting a black Snape doesn't give credence to what you just said. There are students in that school, who are also from different race. Dean Thomas and Lee Jordan are black, it didn't stop them from mixing or being somewhat popular. Lee Jordan comments on the Quidditch games. There is also Cho Chang who is very much Asian. Also, Pavartil Patil is very much indian. So ones race or even skin color, doesn't stop one from mixing or even being popular in school.

Casting a black Snape is very wrong, as J.K Rowling description of him, isn't anywhere near black. The character Snape himself, always wanted to be popular. He envied the Marauders and wanted to belong. This is typical in any school, as some students are known to suffer from inferiority complex. This is what Snape suffers from.

To even buttress my point, ones race or skin color doesn't actually mean anything in the Harry Potter franchise, what means alot, is your pure blood status, and also, what makes you an outcast or even hated, is your muggle born status or love for muggles.

So, casting a black Snape is way too much and going out of context. I'm even surprise, J.K Rowling isn't batting an eyelid about it.

Somebody will now come and tell me , "Oh its fiction ". Anybody can play any role.

If you aren't going to stick with the Canon, at least let it be close and a swalloable pill, not the whole other end of the spectrum.

Good luck to all of them involved. HBO might have bitten more than it can chew with this one.

They're fools. There's no other way around it. They woke up one morning, and decided to pollute everything J.K Rowling created in Harry Potter.

May be they might decide to be more creative, and cast Ginny Weasley as a black girl, no? #BlackSnape

When a woman starts making money, that's when her true colors starts showing.

The moment Funke Akindele snubbed Toyin Abraham at Iyabo Ojo's 'The Return of Arinzo' movie premiere tonight.

The video is currently trending.

Wow!

dalass:
Yeah and that's why she's making billions on her films minus parasitic males to do manipulation and collect her hard earned money under the guise of "submission"

Women are more parasite in relationship than men.

Ask yourself the number of women who are bread winner, and compare that to men who are, the answer will not shock you.

If she cut you off, cut her off too. Life isn't that hard. You owe nobody any apology about who you want to relate with.

Much respect to our president. A deed worthy of commendation. 🥂

Hes worth billions, atleast he should give out palliatives to his church members, just to cushion the effects of the war.

Of course she will. Given the fact that women cheat more than men, it's the most prudent thing to do. God help her if the boy isn't good in bed, she will have a whole lot to deal with. Lol

ufotunang:
..she will be monitored..if she cheat the marriage has ended

I like this sort of arrangement. No hassle, no trouble, just plain old arrangement.

I wish them marital bliss.

The Night Agent. Season 1 and 2.

Not bad. I love the pacing though. Always starts slow, then it builds.... Still a good watch.

Let's see how this will play out. I think he wants to join the ADC. Hehehe

Ishilove:
Evening newspaper

There's nothing evening about him. I know if he becomes 80 years old, he can still impregnate any willing woman or girl.

All I see, is Jason letting his insecurities get the best of him. All what he stated is him, allowing the failure of other people's marriage get to him, thus making him make decision that put him where he is now. So, is he lamenting, nope, he's just stating it, the way it is.

adamma24:
From Season 4....coming soon

EnouGh of this abeg. They should start giving us answers, enough with the mystery surrounding what that fvck is going on.

Achilles100:
Only God knows what this guy has done to his career with this move. And he was like British next rated with the catalogue of projects I was seeing him in.

Hope the bag was really worth it.

Dude should have just rejected it, simple. It's like saying Kingsley Shacklebolt is a causation male, when he was clearly described as a black man who wears ear rings. Chai.

SeverusSnape:
They have come again. Praise TUluMbU to high heavens. Then the price was lower, what did you expect?. More people were using their cars hence the demand...

The half blood prince himself. Hehehe

Just answer the question, bro. It's not that hard. Lol.

For me, I can't even remember. Though it may be because I live in the city, not a village or town. I won't be surprise is black market sellers still operate in some towns and villagers. It's not every village or town that has filling stations.
