Super Eagles to Trade Tackles with Green Falcons in October

The Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Green Falcons of  Saudi Arabia will lock horns in a senior international friendly match in the city of Portimão, Portugal on Friday, 13th October 2023.

The clash comes barely a month before the three-time African champions, wallopped Sao Tome and Principe 6-0 in their 2023 AFCON final-day qualification game in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state Capital. This is as they set out on the race for a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals with a home game against the Crocodiles of Lesotho.

Within the same FIFA window in November, the Eagles will play their second match of the qualification series, away to the Warriors of Zimbabwe.

Nigeria and Saudi Arabia have never played at senior level, but the most remarkable clash between both countries remains the opening match of FIFA U20 World Cup (then known as FIFA World Youth Championship) in 1989, in which second half goals Chrstopher Ohenhen and Mutiu Adepoju steered Nigeria to a comeback 2-1 victory over the host nation in Riyadh.

The Estadio Municipal de Portimão, in the Algarve, is the home ground of Portimonense S.C.

September 14, 2023 #SLI: Before You Acquire That LAND!!!

#SLI: Before You Acquire That LAND!!!

In Nigeria, acquiring land is a monumental decision laden with complexities and potential life-altering consequences. Many individuals have tragically lost both their resources and lives due to land-related disputes. This raises a pivotal question: Can a lawyer truly make a difference in land acquisition? The resounding answer is yes.

Whether obtaining land through purchase or inheritance, the process can be daunting, with inheritance often leading to unforeseen complications. This is where the expertise of a skilled lawyer becomes crucial.

In a recent episode of “Sharing Live Issues” with Damaris, Real estate executive Mr. Radiant Ekemini, and Mrs. Esther Orok; a seasoned real estate lawyer, highlighted the pivotal role of lawyers and surveyors in the land acquisition process. They stressed that securing a highly skilled lawyer is paramount for a successful land acquisition; “a competent lawyer possesses in-depth knowledge of local land laws, can foresee potential issues, and safeguards against fraud and disputes“.

A good lawyer in this context isn’t just any legal practitioner but one with expertise in real estate matters. They understand intricate land laws, regulations, and regional practices, decipher complex land titles, assess legal risks, and offer invaluable guidance. Without a lawyer’s involvement, individuals may unknowingly purchase land with dubious titles, exposing themselves to legal battles and financial losses.

Mrs. Esther Orok encourages individuals looking to acquire property to seek referrals and recommendations from those who have successfully conducted land transactions and business. Additionally, thorough background checks on lawyers should be conducted to assess their credibility, integrity, and competence.

In conclusion, land acquisition in Nigeria is complex and fraught with risks, demanding expertise and vigilance. A skilled lawyer, especially one well-versed in real estate, is essential for secure and legally sound acquisition. Their ability to navigate land laws, conduct due diligence, and craft robust sale agreements cannot be overstated. In a nation where land disputes can turn deadly, securing a competent lawyer’s services is not an option but a necessity for anyone entering real estate investments. They are the guardians of a successful land acquisition, safeguarding your interests in this complex process, as Mrs. Esther Orok aptly advises.

September 5, 2023 NANS Dare DSS, Says Protests Will Hold

NANS Dare DSS, Says Protests Will Hold

The National Association of Nigerian Students has warned the Department of State Services not to interfere in planned protests by students, as their rights to protest was a fundamental human right.

The National Public Relations Officer of the union, Giwa Temitope, was reacting to the statement made by DSS that some politicians were mobilizing student leaders for violent protest against the Federal Government over socio-economic issues.

The DSS had raised alarm over plans by Politicians to mobilize student bodies to stage violent protest on the same day the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal; PEPT, has set aside to deliver judgement.

Intelligence reports have indicated that the plotters include certain politicians who are desperately mobilizing unsuspecting student leaders, ethnic-based associations, youth, and disgruntled groups for the planned action,” the spokesperson for the security agency, Peter Afunanya had stated on Monday.

The NANS PRO, in a statement sent to Journalists, said the student body would be be at the University of Lagos  for the protest and urged the DSS not to infringe on the rights of students.

, “It is quite embarrassing that the DSS has derailed to become the propaganda arm of the Federal Government, thereby, raising false alarms and even interfering in affairs that do not in any way relate to their line of profession.

“As an association, we maintain that we are not satisfied with how the Nigerian society is being run, most especially, as regards arbitrary fee increment across our tertiary institutions, with the University of Lagos being a model.” Giwa said

NANS said the failure of the UNILAG management to honour the agreement reached at the meeting with student leaders on August 2, “forced the student body to fix a date of action at the university for September 6 and the protest will hold till the management reverses the hike.

The UNILAG management in July 2023, increased fees from N19,000 to N190,250, for students studying medicine, while for courses that require laboratory and studio, the students were to pay N140,250.
