Sports festival: Scandal rocks Niger State sports

AHEAD of 2014 National Sports Festival taking place in Calabar by November, Niger State sports ministry has been enmeshed in scandal over alleged addition of fictitious names on the list of players by some top management staff.

It has been alleged that plans by some senior staff of the ministry to smuggle some names on the list being shortlisted ahead of the event blew open when some coaches protested against the distortion of players’ list they had submitted to the ministry for consideration.

It was also gathered that the coaches were not happy with the development.

Why I'm Moved To Shoot Movie About Niger-Delta--Omotola

They call her Omosexy, she calls her fans and group of 'nations' as 'Osexynations'.

When it comes to role interpretation, this talented screen goddess never fails to deliver.  Little wonder the name Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has never weaned since joining the make-believe industry over one and half decades ago.  Omotola is presently busy shooting a new movie produced by Tarila Thompson titled 'Up Creek'. The movie, as we gathered, highlights the Niger-Delta region of Nigeria.
