Shitta Progressive Football Association

Over the years, the Shitta area was known and accepted as the unofficial breeding ground for football talents that eventually grow to represent Nigeria at various international competitions.

The Likes of Waidi Akanni, Fatai Atere, Henry Nwosu, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, Taribo West, Peter Ogaba, Kayode Keshinro, Teslim Fatusi and Olumide Harris graduated from being nurtured in Shitta to becoming National footballing icons. There is hardly ever a Nigerian football team that does not have one or more “shitta bred”.

In recent times however, the zone has become perceived as an area where drugs, crime and hooliganism thrive. This perception though not entirely correct may not be unconnected to dearth of recreational facilities/ opportunities that will keep the youths engaged while also nurturing their skills.

Enter, Shitta Progressives Football Association…

The association was founded to create and maintain bonding and engagement platforms (via football) to draw the youths away from vices while also helping to nurture these talents. Our objective is to once again, begin to see these “street level” talents in Nigeria’s Colors in the not too distant future.

To achieve this, we established the Shitta Progressives Football Competition. This competition has been held bi-annually over the past 3 years.

8 teams participated in the inaugural edition of the completion. It has since grown into a 24 team competition with one team each from Mushin and Ilupeju also participating in the on-going edition.

The tournament is tagged “D SPECIAL 1 CUP”

The primary objective of the sponsor (SIMPLY KNOWN AS “D SPECIAL 1”), apart from being his own way of giving back to the society,  (that has insisted on remaining anonymous from the inception) is to use to platform to reignite the passion for sports (especially football) in youths in Surulere. It is also a platform to bring youths together to bond in a fun environment and move away from social vices.

The round of 16 commences today at the ALAPAFUJA PLAYING GROUND IN SHITTA.

We won't interfere in players selection, we are not making money from friendlies- NFF

The NFF Secretary General Sanusi Mohammed has stressed that the Football Federation will not interfere with the affairs of the coaches and also revealed they won't be making any financial gain from the Super Eagles friendlies slated for this month end and June.

Nigeria will meet fellow West Africans, Mali at the Stade Robert Diochon in Rouen, in France on May 27 before facing Luxembourg in Luxembourg City on June 1 at a venue yet to be finalised.
The friendly games are organised to prepare the Eagles when the African qualifying matches for the 2018 World Cup resume in October and the NFF through it's Secretary General have said they will support the coaches in every way possible and not interfere with players' selection so that the Super Eagles will have the best possible preparation ahead of the 2018 World Cup.
“The NFF will not in any way interfere in players selection for the World Cup qualifiers. Our mission is to assist the coaches in rebuilding a formidable Super Eagles… this is why we have organised warm up games for the team. The logistics needed to select the best available players has also been put in place to help the coaches,”  NFF Secretary General, Dr linSanusi Mohammed said during a press briefing.
When asked why the NFF won't be making any money from the friendly fixtures which will be played away from home, Sanusi said;
“It is not about the money. Everything we are doing is for national benefit, “Sanusi said. “Every time you go to play a friendly match outside Nigeria, of course, you are showcasing Nigeria and its culture and at the same time, you are trying to build a team that Nigerians will be proud of”. Sanusi said to journalists as reported by ThisDay.
Luxembourg who Nigeria will play in one of the friendlies has no football pedigree and is the second least ranked European team in the world at a position of 146.

UK mosques ban Muslim women from wearing trousers, leaving home without husband's permission, orders them to close FB accts

Muslim women must not leave the house without their husband’s permission, should avoid wearing trousers and should even delete their Facebook accounts, according to rulings published by mosques and Islamic associations around Britain.

The Green Lane Masjid in Birmingham said that women were not allowed to wear trousers, even in front of their husbands, while the Central Masjid of Blackburn called Facebook a 'sin' and an 'evil'.
One Islamic organisation also stated that Muslim women should not leave the house without their husband's permission and should not travel more than 48miles without their husband.

An article entitled 'Dangers of Facebook' was published on the Central Masjid of Blackburn's website which stated that: 'Facebook has opened the doors for sin. Muslim girls and women alike have become prey to this evil.'
In a Q&A, one Muslim asked the Green Lane Masjid in Birmingham if women could wear jeans. Citing an Islamic scholar, the reply was that women were not permitted to wear trousers, even in front of their husband, as they show off 'the details of her body'.

A document written by a mufti at the Croydon Mosque and Islamic Centre, entitled 'Advice for the husband and wife', also stated: 'A woman should seek her husband's permission when leaving the house and should not do so without his knowledge.'
In another article, the mosque calls abortion 'a great sin' and describes acting and modelling as 'immoral acts'.

Donald Trump was caught taking a peek at a photo of his ex-wife, Marla Maples, wearing a blue bikini at a 1985 Hawaii beauty pageant, in a photo he shared on Twitter. The picture showed him eating a taco bowl and celebrating how he 'loves Hispanics'. Although the picture was slightly covered, sharp eyed people were able to spot it.

The Republican presumptive nominee sent out a tweet that said:
 'Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!' Beneath the bowl and under some newspapers was a photo of his bikini-clad ex-wife, Marla Ann Maples, who is an actress and tv personality, best known for her six-year marriage to Donald, which ended in a divorce in 1999.

Look for Less: Leather Ankle Wrap Sandals

If you've been watching the footwear trends of summer 2016, you'll notice that the world is once again obsessed with the ankle and everything we can tie around it. Everyone from high street retailers to high end designers have had their go at the trend and we're quite simply spoilt for choice this season. 

Depending on your budgets for the summer, I thought I'd offer up two examples of a shoe that has been seen everywhere from celebrity red carpets in Los Angeles to style bloggers in London. If you're buying without a budget in mind, most definitely set your sights on the Jimmy Choo Kora Suede Sandals. At £525, they aren't cheap, but come with a seriously bad ass heel and some sensational sass.  If you are looking to wear the look for less, let me turn your attention to Next's Soft Wrap Sandals. For £48 you are getting the full weight of the trend without the pressure on your credit card. 

Step forward in style, ladies!
