Nigerian software engineer and co-founder of online payment platform Paystack, Shola Akinlade, has ventured into European football space after completing the purchase of Danish second division club Aarhus Fremad, Peoples Gazette can confirm.

“We have looked at the date correctly, and yes – it is good enough Aarhus Fremad has closed an agreement today, which means a new owner in the club. We are very much looking forward to the collaboration and eagerly await what the future brings us,” the club’s statement read.

According to the report gathered by Peoples Gazette, Mr Akinlade, who is based in the United States of America, purchased a 55 per cent take in the club, making him the majority owner of Aarhus Fremad with the hope of revamping the club.

Aarhus Fremad F.C, who are currently on top of the Danish second division with six points clear and are on course for a promotion to the top division at the end of season, is the 38-year-old’s latest investment in football after establishing Sporting Lagos F.C in 2022.

Sporting Lagos, is one fast-growing private football club in Nigeria and currently play in the Nigerian second division league, the Nigeria National League (NNL).

Very smart businessman

He will export raw talents from Nigerian and other African countries to the club, norture them for few seasons then sell to big clubs in Europe at exorbitant rate. He stole the idea from me I swear.

You're really a dumbo for not knowing who he is or reading the body of the post just commenting like a headless chicken

Tribalism aside Yorubas are good with creating Tech businesses.

Let the hate begin...

Why are the yorubas like this for goodness sake


Alaye was not even making noise before he bought the club

A certain man is still making noise that he want to buy a team in England, tho the paper work is still underway but hmmmm....the paparazzi don dey even fade

Maybe yorubas should be making noise as well so that the "I can feed Ur generation people", the "our success dey make dem jealous people" can limit how they use to tell us they can feed our generation


A no mention any tribe ooh, but some losers will still attack me like rabid dogs

Nah our pikin! "omo wa ni" either doing good or bad " omo eni o le buru titi ki a le fun ekun paje"

power moves.

This is a very intelligent guy.

He has a football club in Nigeria and bought another one in Denmark which could be used to transfer his players from Nigerian club to Europe. There he could market the players and have a lot of money received from the sales.

I admire his intelligence

We also have Kunle soname, the chairman of a betting company bet nija, Kunle Soname is also the owner of Remo Stars football club, Kunle was the first Nigerian to buy a top football club in Europe, Clube Desportivo Feirense after he acquired over 70 percent of the top Portuguese football club. his net worth is estimated at $10m.

His source is the the Yoruba cultural value of excellence and intelligence (work smart) inculcated into him by his parents. Yoruba lagba. 🤣🤣

Without noise

You carry them win, them go draw. Carry them ov1.5 them go win 1-0
