That's Daniel Amartey of Ghana holding the calendar.

That's Gbajabiamila's motorcade and the people that booed him knew that it was Gbaja. Listen to the audio.

He represents Surulere consitituency and the game was played in Surulere.

If you listen carefully you'll hear some people in the crowd shouting "Gbaja".

The governor uses an SUV, while the speaker uses a Mercedes Benz S Class sedan.

The crowd was angry that some people got into the stadium and they couldn't get in.

SmartyPants:
@naptu they have not win the case because the matter has not been heard substantively.

What they have is a temporary restraining order.

I know that. I am not the one that wrote that they have won the case.

Nike wins lawsuit over 'Satan Shoes' with human blood

Lil Nas X and MSCHF's Satan Shoes sold out in less than a minute on Monday

Nike has won its lawsuit against Brooklyn art collective MSCHF over their controversial 'Satan Shoes' that contain a drop of real human blood in the soles.

The $1,018 (£740) trainers are modified Nike Air Max 97s that feature an inverted cross, a pentagram and the words "Luke 10:18".

MSCHF produced the shoes in collaboration with rapper Lil Nas X.

It said only 666 pairs were made and all but one have already been shipped.

Nike claimed trademark infringement, asking a federal court in New York to stop MSCHF from selling the shoes and prevent them from using its famous Swoosh.

"MSCHF and its unauthorised Satan Shoes are likely to cause confusion and dilution and create an erroneous association between MSCHF's products and Nike," the sports shoe giant said in the lawsuit.

Lawyers for MSCHF countered that the 666 pairs it created were "not typical sneakers, but rather individually-numbered works of art that were sold to collectors for $1,018 each".

Siding with Nike, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on Thursday.

The impact of the ruling remains unclear as MSCHF had indicated it has no plans to produce any more pairs of the shoe.

MSCHF "dropped" the black and red shoes on Monday, coinciding with the launch of Lil Nas X's latest song Montero (Call Me By Your Name), which debuted on YouTube last Friday.

The song features the rapper, who came out as gay in 2019, celebrating his sexuality and rejecting attempts to shame him.

In a heavily stylised music video, he slides down a pole from heaven to hell before dancing provocatively with Satan, then snaps his neck and steals his horns.

The imagery and the shoes both reference the Bible verse Luke 10:18 - "So He told them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'."

Each shoe also features a signature Nike air bubble cushioning sole, containing 60 cubic centimetres (2.03 fluid ounces) of red ink and a single drop of human blood, donated by members of the MSCHF art collective.

In its filing with the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Nike said it did not approve or authorise the customised Satan Shoes.

"There is already evidence of significant confusion and dilution occurring in the marketplace, including calls to boycott Nike in response to the launch of MSCHF's Satan Shoes, based on the mistaken belief that Nike has authorised or approved this product," it said.

The lawsuit cited a tweet by popular shoe influencer @Saint from last Friday, which teased the upcoming release of the shoes and drummed up publicity over the weekend on social media and in the media in the US.

Some conservatives, including South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, and some religious followers, took offence at the controversial design of the shoes and criticised Lil Nas X and MSCHF on Twitter.

Lil Nas X hit back at the governor and other critics on Twitter, tweeting several memes on his profile in response to the Nike lawsuit.

Joseph Rasch of Tennessee, who paid $1,080 for the trainers, says he is worried the conflict means his money will be lost.

"I'm hoping I'll receive them since I paid for them," he told BBC OS on World Service radio, adding that he made the purchase not because he definitely planned to wear them but as a political statement.

"I wanted to support a black gay man who is attempting to show a different narrative in a majority Christian country that currently is dealing with a lot of issues with black people. So what better way to do that than to buy shoes that this person has collaborated with?" he said.

McKenzi Norris criticised Nike's lawsuit

Buyer McKenzi Norris of South Carolina, a longtime follower of the MSCHF art collective, said Nike's lawsuit had disrupted his plans to resell the trainers for $2,500 on eBay, which removed his listing.

"In general I think Nike's lawsuit and their intervention is pretty ridiculous considering how much damage it can cause to everyday people like me who just like to customise and resell their products legally," he said.

Bayern Munich won 0-1 away at Rosengard to take the tie 0-4 on aggregate.

(This is the second leg)

Stars from other Barcelona teams also celebrated with Barcelona Femeni. These are Antoine Griezmann from the men's team and former NBA star Pau Gasol, who plays for Barca's basketball team.


This is the fourth year that Barca has qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Australian star Sam Kerr, Norwegian goal machine Pernile Harder and Fran Kirby scored as Chelsea beat Wolfsburg 3-0 to also qualify for the Champions League semi-final.


Bayern Munich will take on Rosengard today to decide who makes it through from that tie.

Barcelona qualified for the UEFA Champions League Semi-Finals after losing 2-1 to Manchester City in Manchester yesterday night. They had won the first leg 3-0 and won the tie 4-2 on aggregate.

Barca were without their legendary goal scorer Jenni Hermoso and midfield stalwart Kheira Hamraoui who were both injured.


City piled on the pressure from the blast of the whistle and were rewarded in the 20th minute when the ball pin-balled in Barca's area off a corner kick and Beckie pounced and fired it into the Barca goal (1-0).

Barca fought hard to equalise and just after half time a Barca player charged down an attempt by Manchester City to clear their lines and the ball was cut back for Asisat Oshoala who fired it into the goal (1-1). Asisat had also scored in the first leg.

Manchester City was awarded a penalty in the 66th minute, though most fans thought that it wasn't a penalty and Sam Mewis stepped up to slot the ball into the goal (2-1).

Barcelona could have won this game by 4 or 5 goals, but their biggest players on the pitch were guilty of some terrible misses. Asisat Oshoala was the biggest culprit as she missed 4 good chances. Caroline Graham Hansen was also guilty and she was replaced by Lieke Martens in the 61st minute, but the Dutch superstar had one of the misses of the game in the 91st minute. A famous Barca supporter said that it looked like the team was stuck in second gear.

Barcelona will meet the winner of the game between Olympique Lyon and Paris St Germain. That game was postponed because several players tested positive for COVID-19.

Highlights of Manchester City vs Barcelona.
