We Were Unlucky in Home Draw Against Heartland - Ogunbote

We Were Unlucky in Home Draw Against Heartland - Ogunbote

Technical Adviser of Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC), Gbenga Ogunbote, has described as unfortunate, the goalless draw recorded by his side against the visiting Heartland FC of Owerri.

Thousands of the supporters and fans of the Oluyole Warriors watched as their darling team dominated proceedings throughout the matchday eleven tie, but ended up wasting all the numerous chances that came their way.

In his post match comments, the Oracle described the result as unfortunate, blaming it on the inability of his players to make use of the chances created.

"I think it's one of the moments in the game, this is a game we deserved to win honestly, but our inability to convert our chances robbed us the victory today, we will take the positives from it and move on" stated Ogunbote.

On the conversion of chances, the gaffer, who hinted that his team did not underrate the visitors, said the team will continue to work on it 

"Even if we had scored ten goals today, we will still not stop working on the art of goal scoring, we will go back and do the needful to ensure that we take our chances".

The 3SC chief tactician said the result had nothing to do with the couple of changes made in the team for the game, stressing that those changes were necessitated by the circumstances on ground.

"Every player was registered to play. Some of our players have knocks, and were not available for selection, so all the ones that played, did their best, but unfortunately, we were unable to convert our chances".

Ahead of Wednesday's southwest derby against Sunshine Stars in Akure, the ex Lobi Stars sweat merchant, said his team will be going for something positive from the game but prayed for a level praying ground.

 FG Working Hard On Digital Switchover That Won’t Fail—Minister

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has explained that the Digital Switch Over (DSO) project has not been in operation because the government was working hard to ensure the success of the blueprint when eventually rolled out.

Speaking yesterday in Abuja while declaring open the Management Conference and Retreat of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), he said the roll-out would cut across the urban and rural parts of Nigeria.

He said NTA was a key stakeholder in the DSO project and, hence, was expected to play a prominent role in the success.

According to him, the country was on the path of “The most ambitious socio-economic growth plans ever” with the efforts being put in by the present government.

He encourages the NTA “To foster a culture of creativity and inclusivity; embrace the diversity of ideas within this organization, for it is through open dialogue and collaboration that we can overcome challenges and achieve our shared vision for the NTA.”

Idris said it was crucial to reflect on the dynamic landscape of the media industry, stating that the advent of new technologies and changing viewer preferences pose challenges and opportunities.

“Our commitment to excellence and adaptability is paramount. The NTA must continue to evolve, embracing innovation while upholding the highest standards of journalistic integrity”.

Shooting Stars 0-0 Heartland: Goal- shy Oluyole Warriors Held at Home

 Shooting Stars 0-0 Heartland: Goal- shy Oluyole Warriors Held at Home

For the first time this season, Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan, failed to grab all three points as they were held to a goalless draw by Heartland FC of Owerri.

The result was not a true reflection of the game as the Oluyole Warriors had the game under control but were unable to convert all the scoring chances they created 

Coach Gbenga Ogunbote handed Gafar Olafimihan and Enaruna Michael starting shirts for the first time this season, while golakeeper Ovunda Darlintin returned to duty after missing the last five games due to injury 

A sign that the maximum points will elude the homers showed during the opening minutes of the game as the Stars unluckily had their numerous efforts missing the target

The second half turned out to be the same as the visitors soaked the pressure from the Ibadan soccer lords.

Both Kareem Ayinde Ademola and Tosin Olawale, who were introduced in the second half, were equally not lucky enough as their efforts also failed to break the deadlock, thus ending the tie nil all.

The draw leaves Shooting Stars on the fifth position with 18 points.

Up next for the Oluyole Warriors is a trip to Akure for a midweek cracker against rivals, Sunshine Stars FC, with the Southwest derby billed for the Ondo State Sports Complex.

Internet Fraud: Witness Reveals How Visa Flagged Naira Marley's Credit Card for Fraud

Internet Fraud: Witness Reveals How Visa Flagged Naira Marley's Credit Card for Fraud

The 10th prosecution witness, PW10, in the trial of Nigerian singer, Azeez Fashola, (a.k.a Naira Marley), Dein Whyte, an investigator with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday, November 30, 2023, told Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos how Visa, a card payment platform , flagged one of the credit card details found on a device belonging to the singer, due to fraudulent transactions.

Naira Marley is standing trial on 11-count charges bordering on conspiracy and credit card fraud brought against him by the EFCC. Led in evidence by the prosecution counsel, Bilikisu Buhari, the PW10 said: “As part of the findings from the investigation, forensic analysis revealed that malicious programmes that are being used to illegally obtain credit card information, which can be used for card non-present transactions, were found on the device that was recovered from the defendant upon his arrest" Also revealed were malicious tools used to disguise the active location of an internet user when his or her devices are connected to the internet"

Whyte also disclosed that, "tools that are used to verify the validity, active state and accuracy of credit card credentials as well as the region of the issuer of that card were discovered on the defendant’s device. The analysis further revealed the website that had been accessed on the computer of the defendant through his browser history. The websites include sites where credit card information are illegally traded.”

He explained further that the phone and the laptop recovered from the defendant were both registered with his credentials, name and email address. When asked by the prosecution counsel to state the result of his findings on the credit card details on the defendant’s device, Whyte responded, “With respect to the card details recovered from the device of the defendant, investigations revealed that he also exchanged those details with other persons.

He further stated that one of the cards was reported to have been fraudulently used for a transaction by Visa. According to him, 

 the card details that were in possession of the defendant’s device neither belonged to him nor were issued to him by any financial institution.

Under cross-examination by the defendant’s counsel, Olalekan Ojo, SAN, Whyte informed the court that a letter of investigation was written to Visa and that it confirmed that the card had been flagged for fraudulent transactions. He, however, said that Visa didn’t link the credit card fraud to the defendant’s device “because the investigation was on the card and not on the device being used for the fraud.” He also stressed that Visa is a payment platform and not a telecommunication company.

Justice Oweibo adjourned the case to March 6 and 7, 2024 for continuation of trial.

Newsletter: 2024 presents another opportunity for us to use our budget to create economic stability for our people. - Gov Seyi Makinde

 Newsletter: 2024 presents another opportunity for us to use our budget to create economic stability for our people. - Gov Seyi Makinde

The year is winding down. And what a year it has been! I pray that God protects us and our loved ones so we will all witness the year 2024 in Jesus' name!

As you may already know, December is my birth month. This year, I will be celebrating my birthday at the Fasola Agribusiness Industrial Hub.

The month of December is generally a time for reflection as we make plans towards the new year. It is a time for me to reflect again on why I chose to get into politics. It has always been about serving humanity and moving as many people as possible in Oyo State from poverty into prosperity. This has remained a mantra for our administration since 2019 as we pursued people-centred policies and programmes.

True, sometimes we make plans, and they do not work out exactly as envisaged, but in general, we try to do what is right for our people and make amends where necessary to stick to this goal. 2024 presents another opportunity for us to use our budget to create economic stability for our people. As I have always maintained, handouts and palliatives are good, but sustainable development is far more important.

Commissioning of the Organisation of the Tadhamunul Muslimeen Mosque, Adogba, Iwo Road

In the next few days, I will present our 2024 Budget for Economic Recovery before the House of Assembly. I must state that I appreciate the recent interest people have shown in line items in the 2023 budget. But as our Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning pointed out, learning about and following the implementation process is more important. That a budget has been approved does not mean that the money will be released.

Also, in the spirit of my reflections, I have decided to read a book written by our own Professor Banji Oyelaran-Oyeyinka, a development Economist and currently the Senior Special Adviser on Industrialisation to the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB). The book is titled Rich Country, Poor People: Reversing Nigeria’s Story of Inequality and Poverty Amid Plenty to a Story of Shared Prosperity.

If other thoughts penned down by Prof are anything to go by, I believe I will be learning vital lessons from this book that will assist my team and me in making even better decisions that will bring economic prosperity to our people.

One of the things that Prof talked about in this book is the need for industrialisation. Of course, we cannot achieve a rise in manufacturing without creating a conducive environment. This is why we have always said that government should concentrate on creating an enabling environment so that private investments can thrive. I will definitely share any additional insights I find in my next newsletter.
