Nneka Ede, a Nigerian entrepreneur has purchased Portuguese club side Lusitano Ginasio Clube, Futebol, SAD. A deal, which saw her become the first African woman to own a club in Europe.

According to thepress release, the club said, “After months of negotiations with different entities, an agreement has been reached with Mrs. Nneka Ede, a sports enthusiast and entrepreneur from Nigeria, a country filled with people as passionate and fiery about football as us and which incidentally share the same green and white in their flags, towards the transfer of the ownership of the SAD to the latter that will help us in our mission to take Lusitano to the next level

Nneka Ede in her statement, expressed excitement and hopes this deal will foster the great sporting relationship between the two countries.

She said, “I am excited about this opportunity and I hope that this new chapter will deepen the already great sporting relations between Nigeria and Portugal, continue with the rich history of Lusitano club and provide a pathway for young talent to develop and shine through

Lusitano GC has been in existence for the past 108 years and the club never won the Portuguese first division title before they relegated years back.

And since they relegated to the lower division in 1950, the club have been finding it hard to return to the topflight.

There are also reports that finance is one of the problems the side have been facing for years which has affected their progress.

Razzness:
Biafrans will be dreaming too.

Yes for sure

Many cities, states, towns, provinces, and countries in Africa have undergone a name change for a myriad of reasons. Often, this may be done for political/nationalistic reasons — to remove all traces of colonial rule, or to reflect the ideology of the government in power. In other instances, place names have been changed for purely commemorative reasons – perhaps to honour great leaders or important events in the country’s history.

Here is a look at six African countries that have undergone a name change at some point in their recent existence.

1_Benin Republic/Dahomey


Dahomey was the name of a powerful pre-colonial West African kingdom in what is now the Benin Republic. At its peak, the Dahomey kingdom spanned present-day Benin, Togo, and some parts of southwestern Nigeria. Dahomey was famous for its female warriors who were skilled in battle and often served as royal body guards.

In 1975, under the leadership of Mathieu Kerekou, Dahomey changed its name to Benin Republic. This happened 15 years after the nation gained independence from the French colonialists in 1960. The change was liked to the Marxist-Leninist ideals in which its new leader believed.

2_Democratic Republic of Congo/Zaire

The Democratic Republic of Congo used to be known as Leopoldville in the 19th century when it was a colony of the old Belgian monarchy. Between 1908 and 1960, it was known as the Belgian Congo. However, when the nation attained independence in 1960, its leaders renamed it Congo after the Congo River that flows through much of the country.

In 1971, President Mobutu Sese Seko again renamed the country, this time calling it the Republic of Zaire in a dodgy move he described as necessary to shed every ounce of Western colonial influence. Mobutu was deposed as president in 1996 and the new government of Laurent Kabila in 2007 returned the country to its old name.

3_Burkina Faso/Upper Volta


President Thomas Sankara, the young and charismatic leader of what was then known as Upper Volta, officially renamed the country as Burkina Faso on 4 August 1984. He chose the names “Burkina” and “Faso” from the two major languages spoken in the country. The old name Upper Volta had been given by the French colonialists in reference to the Volta River that flowed through the area.

4_Zimbabwe/Rhodesia

Present-day Zimbabwe was known as southern Rhodesia between 1898-1964, named after British colonialist and businessman Cecil Rhodes. As early as 1960, however, African nationalists began to refer to their country as Zimbabwe. They went on to incorporate the name into the official titles of their many pro-independence organisations.

5_Tanzania/Tanganyika

Tanganyika was the name of a sovereign state located between the great African lakes and the Indian Ocean that existed from 1961, when it gained independence from the British Commonwealth. Between 1962 and 1964 the nation referred to itself as the Republic of Tanganyika.

6_Ghana/Gold Coast


Ghana changed its name from the Gold Coast in 1957 to reflect its new status as an independent country after it attained self-rule from the British colonialists. Ghana’s foremost nationalist leader Dr. Kwame Nkrumah renamed the country immediately after independence.

5 Most Dangerous Terrorist Groups in the World, And Why They Are Killing.
2020-02-08 11:56:51



Boko Haram

This notorious West African terrorist group is a branch of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and Syria (ISIL / ISIS), and has close ties with Al-Qaeda. The name Boko Haram itself translates to ‘Western education is a sin.’ By some accounts, the word ‘Western’ may also be changed with ‘non-Islamic.’

Mohammed Yusuf is the founder of the sect and he passionately despises western education. He even discredits the Earth being round because he claims it is a western concept. Boko Haram has been active in Nigeria since 2009. After Nigeria had begun to accept different cultures, the terrorists wanted to impose Islamic laws throughout the entire country.

They even attempted to overthrow the government by imposing Sharia law, which have zero tolerance for any outside behaviors, including drinking alcohol. In 2011, Boko Haram took responsibility for bombing the United Nations headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria. Just three years later, the terrorist group gained international attention when they kidnapped over 200 Nigerian schoolgirls. Countries all over the globe recognized their brutal terror, and a massive social media campaign demanded the return of the children, many of whom were already married with children.

From its foundation until 2014, some 5,000 innocent souls have been murdered at the hands of Boko Haram.

Taliban

Mullah Mohammed Omar formed the Taliban in 1994. Its origins derive from the Afghani struggle against the Soviets. It is such an aggressive terrorist organization that it was in charge of an entire country. From 1996 until 2001, the Taliban’s militant group enforced strict Islamic laws in Afghanistan until the United States military invaded the country.

The Taliban makes money via human and drug trafficking. The terrorists are known murderers and they kill innocent people in the name of Jihad, including over 130 high school teachers and students in northern Pakistan. The Taliban regularly practices heinous crimes such as ethnic cleansing. Like other groups, the Taliban received support from Al-Qaeda.

Al-Qaeda

The objective of Al-Qaeda is to unite Muslims everywhere through Jihad and strict interpretation of Sharia law.

For nearly 30 years, Al-Qaeda has been one of the biggest terrorist groups in the world. Osama bin Laden created the extremist organization in 1988. It is responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa, and the 2002 Bali bombings.



Osama bin Laden mostly famously carried out the 9/11 attacks in New York City, Washington, and Pennsylvania which killed over 3,000 Americans. As a result, the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan ensued. Osama bin Laden was captured and killed in Pakistan in May 2011. Since then, Ayman al-Zawahiri has been the leader of Al-Qaeda.

 Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant / Syria (ISIL / ISIS)

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi formed the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, which has grown to 80,000 militants and counting. Although the terrorists occupy large parts of the Middle East including portions of Iraq, Syria, and Palestine, they have affiliate groups all over the world including in Southeast Asia, Nigeria, and Libya. They even have some members in western countries.

As an extreme Sunni Jihadist organization, ISIS claims to have control over Muslims worldwide including authority over political, religious, and military groups. Abuse from these savages has occurred all over the globe.

ISIS is especially notorious for creating slave markets where they trade captured women. Such crimes have already happened to the Yazidi Kurdish sect after ISIS murdered their children.

Al-Shabaab

This East African terrorist group was founded in 2006 with a stated mission to eliminate foreign military forces in Somalia.

In order to help form their Islamic government, the organization earns funding from ransoms, piracy, illegal trade, and other criminal actions.

Al-Shabaab operates throughout Somalia, Kenya, and Uganda, and they regularly carry out deadly car attacks and suicide bombings.

In 2013, over 60 people died as a result of the Westgate Mall attack in Kenya. Only two years later, the brutal organization attacked a Kenyan university and killed 148 student

Playing football is a profession that rakes in a lot of money. The average footballer is expected to earn between $10,000 and $80,000 per month and that is why many players come across as rich people. However, it is not always rosy for these footballers, many of whom have their wages drastically reduced after tax.

But there are also others who genuinely earn a lot. It is very easy to attribute 7out of every 10 flashy cars you see on the streets to be being owned by a footballer. The truth, though, is that footballers, and all other athletes for that matter, have very limited time to play at the top.

The career of the average footballer spans between 10 and 15 years. As a result, those who are not able to save or invest enough during their playing days turn out to be miserable after hanging their boots.

In fact, there have been many cases in recent times of famous footballers who became broke after retirement. Here are four footballers who found themselves in such a situation:
