Oliseh gets busy as Eagles camp comes alive

By John Egbokhan
The honeymoon seems over for newly appointed Super Eagles
coach, Sunday Oliseh who will tonight hit the Abuja camp of the
team after ringing the closing bell of the Nigeria Stock Exchange
in Lagos today.
The former Eagles captain, who signed a three-year deal with
the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on July 15 arrived Nigeria
weekend and will get down to work today when he meets the 23
home-based players invited to camp ahead of next month’s
2017 AFCON qualifier against Tanzania in Dar es Salaam.
And Oliseh, who will be in Lagos this afternoon to ring the
closing bell alongside the President of the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF), Pinnick Melvin Amaju, the first time a Nigerian
coach would be performing such a ground-breaking feat in
history, will be delighted to head to camp to meet the local
players, some of whom are in a rich vein of form.
At the head of the pack is Warri Wolves’ striker forward
Gbolahan Salami, who scored one of the goals when the Eagles
opened the AFCON race with a 2-0 win over Chad in Kaduna in
June. There are also regular faces like Solomon Kwambe and
Nelson Ogbonnaya.
Oliseh will be particularly delighted to meet Prince Aggreh of
Sunshine Stars, who netted three goals in yesterday’s Premier
League clash with Giwa at the Akure Township Stadium. With
such a spectacular form, Aggreh will get more than a hug from
the former Dortmund and Ajax defensive midfielder.

Nigeria gets Africa's first football pitch lit by players

Lagos (AFP) - Africa's first football pitch lit solely by the players' movements has been inaugurated in Lagos, the economic hub of power-starved Nigeria, at a ceremony attended by US-Senegalese rapper Akon. The technology, invented by a young British engineer, consists of placing electronic tiles under the artificial turf, which is converted into power by kinetic energy. Also read: 78 persons regain freedom from prisons in Nasarawa State. Each time a player steps on a tile, seven watts of electricity are generated and sent to a battery. The stored power helps to feed six powerful but low consumption LED floodlights that shine on the pitch. Solar panels around the pitch complement the technology, stocking electricity throughout the day. The system has already been installed at a football pitch in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, in football-mad Brazil, which hosted the 2014 World Cup. "It's brilliant," said Kusagba Oluwadamilola, an 18-year-old spor

I work for Lagos policeman, says suspected robber April 11, 2016

 Afeez Hanafi A 21-year-old suspected robber, Akeem Popoola, says a police inspector attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, uses him to swindle unsuspecting victims. He said he had worked for the policeman, identified as Inspector Festus, aka Ijaya, for about four months before he was arrested. The carpenter, who is currently in custody at the Agbado divison, Ogun State, was arrested for robbery and burglary. A mattress and speakers of a sound system were reportedly recovered from him in the Giwa area of Agbado on April 6. He told PUNCH Metro that apart from burglary, he used to collect phones from the inspector and he would later sell them. He added that Ijaya and two others – Abbey and Aluko – would get the buyers arrested minutes later for buying stolen items. Akeem said their victims paid Ijaya between N120,000 and N150,000 before they were released, adding that he got N5,000 as his share on each ‘deal’. “In November 20
