Nigerian teams had a mixed weekend on the continent as they began their journey to the group stage of the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup, aclsports.com reports.
Nigerian champions Rangers International and Rivers United are the country’s representatives in the CAF Champions League, while Shooting Stars and Federation Cup winners Elkanemi Warriors are featuring in the second tier of Africa’s foremost club competition, the CAF Confederation Cup.
Rangers failed to beat visitors AS Sobemap in the first leg of the first preliminary round tie played in Abeokuta on Sunday evening, while Rivers United secured a 1-1 away draw against FC San Pedro of Cote d’Ivoire on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Shooting Stars, who were playing on the continent for the first time in 27 years, secured a win over Tunisian side CS Sfaxien in the CAF Confederation Cup on Saturday. Emmanuel Lucky scored the game’s only goal, as Salisu Yusuf’s men secured a narrow advantage ahead of the second leg in Sfax.

In Ikenne, Elkanemi Warriors delivered a standout second-half performance to beat UDIB of Guinea-Bissau 3-0 at the Remo Stars Stadium. Former MFM forward Nnamdi Mejuobi grabbed a brace before Dayo Wahab fired home a late penalty to secure the comprehensive win.
Ahead of the second legs next weekend, Rivers United and Elkanemi Warriors are heavy favourites to progress, while Rangers have to step things up if they want to progress against their less fancied opposition. Shooting Stars, underdogs when the draws were made, will be hoping to build on the win.
It is the "eat the rich" mentality. To be honest like you said we one cannot conclud that Erriga was referring to Davido on his post but Davido has multiple times been the target of a lot of people simply because he comes from wealth which funny enough he isn't the first Neato C also comes from wealth and affluence.
There has been people who have questioned his hustle and some who said he paid his way to where he is and for Davido, this has to be exhausting. Personally, I don't really care about Davido but I recognise an "hustler" when I see one. Davido has put in the work and muscle into his craft and that cannot be denied. He has done it irrespective of the fact that he would have been comfortable without it. He deserves to be there and he has shown real talent so it must be exhausting for him.
I can imagine the number of times Davido will have heard the side remarks even from colleagues, labels, promoters and everyone. It can get frustrating.
Unfortunately, people are not going to stop. They will keep hitting at him over it as disgusting as it is, it is a deep seated jealousy that "you dare be comfortable growing up while we suffered thing" I pray these people saying it seek the help they need.
Davido also needs to be careful in response, Erriga might not have been talking about him and it resulted in this frenzy
This same government of Dapo Abiodun is the one that abandoned the project in the first place after the building was done by the Amosun administration.

Did you read the article? The 9 names were names of those that won the primary elections as observed by INEC.
Then NDC removed the names of those that won and replaced with some other ones and uploaded.
Now INEC uploaded the list of those that won and NDC is claiming not to know them
