In a bid to reduce the number of out-of-school children in the country, Asisat Oshoala Foundation has donated sports and educational materials to some schools in Lagos State.

NationSport reports that the donation, which is in its fourth year, started on Wednesday and will run for a week across 50 schools in the state.

The Foundation is a pet project of Nigeria’s Super Falcons striker and former African women footballer award winner, Asisat Oshoala (MON) who is doing this as part of giving back to the society that made her.

The first set of schools to get the donation include Epe Primary School in Epe, St Jude’s Primary School in Mushin, Aunt Ayo Primary School Ikoyi,  Sango and Keke Primary Schools in Agege.

Asisat Oshoala Foundation has also been impacting on the lives of average school girls in Lagos State with her annual Asisat Oshoala Secondary School Football Clinic where students of Lagos schools are trained in the rudiments of football.

She is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays for Chinese side Dalian Quanjian F.C in the Chinese Women’s Super League as a forward.

She was named best player and was the highest goal scorer at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.


She was also named best player and second top goalscorer with the Super Falcons team who won the 2014 African Women’s Championship.

Corrinthians:
Useless statement. You're from Cameroon, and your real name is Ati'aku Frimpong Al'Camerooni.

You can only decieve Afonjas and not the great Igbo Race.

Ohamadike has spoken! Afonjas can go to hell!

This is the problem with waking up late. Usually I would get home at 6, eat, take my drugs, charge my phones and set out again to see the leader pack.

Today I got home at past 7, was about to eat, turned on the TV and saw that the leader was already on Alexander. I grabbed a cup of water and I'm out again

naptu2:
I had to doubleback and take some shortcuts but I was just in time to film the leader of the elite race as he ran down Admiralty Way. I'm going to film the beginning of the people's race.

most of these names were given to them by commentator Emmanuel Okonkwo, too bad he didn't get some ink here.

You really have confidence in these people.

Will it surprise you if I tell you that there are no such letters on any desk anywhere?

They are just blowing smokes.

Bravo. Is Africa magic viewed in other African countries?

Local content

The NBC code, which was first drafted in the 1990s, mandates that free to air stations should show 70% local content, while pay TV stations should show 20% local content.

Prior to this (in the 1980s) the NTA showed a lot of foreign shows. The NTA unilaterally increased their quota to 90% local content in the late 1990s.

I remember thinking that the directive didn't make any sense to me and that it could easily be flouted.

1) How do you determine what is local content and what is not?

2) Would an MBI production of the Ghanaian league be considered as local content or not?

3) Would a BBC production of the Nigerian league be considered as local content or not?

My questions were eventually put to the test 20 years later when Big Brother Naija was held in South Africa. It was classed as local content because some of the producers and production crew were Nigerians, yet the show was held in South Africa.


Anyway, Multichoice immediately started trying to get Nigerian content in 1994 in response to the NBC code. This put them in conflict with Nigerian stars.

Multichoice bought The Charly Boy Show, some of Onyeka Onwenu's videos and other content from NTA2 Channel 5. However, the content did not belong to the NTA and Charly Boy and Onyeka sued Multichoice.

AIT owner, Raymond Dokpesi later said that he sold the idea of creating a Nigerian movie channel to DSTV, but DSTV sidelined him and created Africa Magic.

Since then Multichoice/DSTV has been looking to increase their local content.
