How to watch.

The Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON) have reached a deal with FIFA that grants them the right to broadcast all FIFA World Cup matches live on their free to air platforms. This includes the 2019 Women's World Cup. (Note, this is only on their free to air stations platforms).

The match will also be live on Supersports 4

You can also listen to the game (in case you are stuck in traffic) because it will be live on Nigeria Info FM

The Super Falcons of Nigeria will take on the Norwegian National Team at 8pm in their first game at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.

off-topic.

Pls, is the owner of the three identical residential towers in VI (1st pic, by d right) also the owner of Eko energy estate in eko atlantic? Noticed it's d same design.

Cc masseratti.


I was a kid when this controversy was playing out, so I heard the rumours (that the governor owned the estate) before I discovered the facts. I'm not going to mention names.


The buildings in the first picture are known as Eko Court. They were built in the early 1970s.


The buildings were owned by a very famous civil servant, but the rumour was that it was actually owned by the then governor. Then Murtala Muhammad became head of state and the buildings were seized and handed over to the Lagos State Government during Murtala's anti-corruption campaign.

The famous civil servant passed away, but his estate kept fighting to reclaim the properties. President Ibrahim Babangida handed the properties back to the man's estate, but General Abacha reversed that decision.

Then followed a long court battle between the man's estate and the Lagos State Government. The Lagos State Government eventually won at the Supreme Court in the early 2010s and the estate is managed by the Lagos State Property Development Corporation (LSDPC).

(Murtala's investigation panel investigated virtually all public officers at the time and they said that the governor had no case to answer. The governor was one of the few public officers that were not found guilty of corruption).

Eko Energy Estate at the Eko Atlantic City is owned by a former vice president of Nigeria.

Asisat Oshoala and Kemi.

Play for the next generation

The video has footage of Oshoala playing for Barcelona, training in Mushin, footage of kids playing football on a sandy school pitch in Lagos, Oshoala receiving the African Footballer of the Year award, Oshoala signing for Barcelona, Oshoala's goal for Barcelona and Oshoala and Kemi practicing together (Kemi is a mixed race Nigerian kid).

It also has footage of school girls in Lagos training during an Asisat Oshoala Foundation event and of Asisat Oshoala training on her own in Spain.

Here's a transcript of the words that Oshoala spoke in the video.

Football means the world to me. I'm always thankful for the struggle.

If I had been given the opportunity when I was younger, maybe I wouldn't have strived harder to get to where I am today.

I never had the thought of playing football professionally when I was young. I was just doing it for fun, you know, because I never take it serious, because I know my parents will always say, "No, no, no" to it and there's no way I can live without them.

Playing for Barcelona, I always dreamed of it, but I never believed that it could happen, you know.

When you are surrounded by a team of great women, it makes you want to do more on and off the pitch, you know.

I'm here in Barcelona to make myself better, to make a whole lot of people look up to me proud and to make the world know that good players in Africa can actually be role models to millions of kids that are coming up.

For me, each time I see a young girl playing football, it gives me so much joy, because I see a lot of opportunities for female players in the future.

Asisat Oshoala Foundation is a foundation that cares for a girl child who has dreams of playing football professionally, but comes from a difficult family who doesn't want them to play football.

When people tell young girls that their dreams are not achievable, I just tell them, "stay focused, work so hard and these people are going to be proud of you tomorrow, even when they never supported you.

Imagine having five Asisat Oshoalas in Nigeria. You know what I mean?

Don't change your dreams, change your world.
Just do it.

Oga.... This country is a mess. Why is CNN not shut down because of all its hate speech against Donald Trump in USA

I really shouldn't respond to you because of your previous response (which I have reported), but I will only once.

False equivalence.

Read the letters and all the exchanges since January, was AIT's license suspended because they insulted Buhari??

1) Francisca Ordega.

2) Asisat Oshoala imitating Caster Semenya's snake pose.

3) Caster Semenya's snake pose.

Yes he was: he was able to achieve more with the least amount of revenue (oil @ about $9/barrel) than most other leaders before or after him; his main problem was that many of those he stepped on their toes (OBJ & Abdulsalami Abubakar and also NADECO members) came to power immediately after him and made sure they used their offices or access to the media to malign him more than he was actually guilty of - e.g. some members of the SMC (Bamaiyi & Jeremai Useni) had tried to debunk the so called Abacha loot, explaining the rational behind the joint SMC's decision to stash the money in secret accounts, in the light of threats of more international economic sanctions against the country but to no avail.

He will attend the opening ceremony of the Women's World Cup before travelling back to Egypt.

Please always say the truth for once.... What about Miyetti Allah's hate speech threatening the peace of all the nation ??

Is Miyetti Allah regulated by the NBC?

TSRC:
Mr man, this is nonsense.
Any government can find reasons to crack down on any opposition media.
Any reason.
The difference between a Banana Republic like Nigeria and civilised countries like america where the president is on verbal war with the media is the rule of law.

You cannot do this. It is a slippery slope.

The pdp can come in tomorrow, shut down TVC, for one reason or the other.

The precedence is already there.
How can you not see the danger? Why do you hate your country so much?

Any government can find reasons to crack down on any opposition media. And any opposition media can also use the fact that it is an opposition media as an excuse to break the rules.

Basically, anybody can say anything and anybody can believe anything.

ehissi:
Television continental has done worst but I dont see no letter for them and their license is intact.......

That was in March.

The NBC sent warning letters to TVC, Channels Television and AIT in March. Apparently the others complied and AIT didn't.

BitmapStudios:
Fair enough. But the third sheet contains a scenario that was claimed to have occurred on the 28th of May but it's surprising that this very letter was dated on the 27 of the same May. Any reason for this?

You'd have to ask the NBC about that.

tactius

I've just learnt that in addition to what was written in the letter, the NBC also suspended their license because:

1) They have not paid their license fees (that is, they are owing the NBC)

2) They broadcast a documentary about the presidential election petition. This is a matter that is before the court and therefore sub judici (that is, it cannot be discussed outside the court until it makes its ruling).


That second point means that AIT might have more trouble ahead, because they can be held to be in contempt of court if it is true.

mancheeutd:
God bless you with that letter...thanks

Permission to copy it

You can

Octopusssy:
Why don't you watch AIT?

I just don't. I haven't watched the station since c2010.

Octopusssy:
Let's be very objective here- would you say that AIT has been irresponsible in their news presentation and reportage?

I don't watch AIT, so I won't know.

Octopusssy:
They ought to be hanged, drawn and quartered!

Just2endowed2:
So they should have called the Fulani killers endorsed by Buhari after giving them a radio station, bandit Abi?

I have modified my post and added pictures of the letter.

tactius:
To be honest, this is not too funny.

While AIT has been very partisan, and sometimes biased...the truth is, we are running a democracy. We are supposed to have freedom of speech.

They weren't suspended for being partisan.

The NBC sent Daar Communications a letter that contains all the rules that were violated by Kaakaki Social. It has nothing to do with APC or PDP.

The broadcasting code has rules that prohibit the use of inciting material that can lead to public unrest. AIT allegedly broke these rules on several occasions when they broadcast material about Niger Delta militants and Fulani herdsmen
