We need stability and continuity to survive ….Inaolaji,3SC supporters boss

Ayo Ademokoya

Chairman Shooting Stars Sports Club Supporters Club, Alhaji Sina Inaolaji yesterday in a telephone interview with the www.harohkah,blogspot.com.ng  sued for peace among various factions of the club and called for the continuity of the present management of the club and also debunked  the story circulating in the social media that angry fans of the club wants the club’s General Manager, Mr Rasheed Balogun out stating that such insinuation are the writers imaginations as the supporters club unequivocally want the GM to stay.

Alhaji Inaolaji whose efforts has in making sure Shooting stars regained her lost glory ever since he became chairman apparently is not happy over the roles played by rumour mongers who are out to benefit from the ongoing misfortune bedeviling the club said that such actions would lead the club nowhere and enjoined all stakeholders to let peace reign  as well as assured teeming fans and supporters  of the Oluyole Warriors home and abroad that 3SC would not relegate at the end of the day.

Alhaji Sina Inaolaji went down the memory lane by reminding everyone that Shooting stars had been relegated 4 times in her history. According to him reasons behind the clubs misfortune in those years was no due to lack of quality players or management but  internal and external dispute which consumes and engulfed the club at the end of the day.  He however vowed  such will not befall the darling team of the Yorubas this season as envisaged and therefore sued for the needed peace and stability needed to return the lost glories of Shooting Stars

 “Shooting for the records went down in 1985/86, 1998/99,2010/11 and 2013/14 and if you noticed we still had a good squad that got to the final of the CAF Champion cup the previous years yet got relegated . We were WAFU Champions in 1998 yet got relegated and spent close to 5 years between 1999 to 2003 languishing at the lower division, we can boast of at least 5 players in the Super Eagles from us when we got relegate in 2011 and 2013 so why do we want this to happen again.

I believe the team can only thrive in a conducive atmosphere where peace and stability reigns and that is why I’m calling all stakeholders to sheath the sword and allow continuity of the present management who I believe would take us to the promise land.

“As the chairman of the supporters club, I believe we are one and no one is out to destroy the good work that is on ground. All I just want to appeal to all lovers  of  stars out there to be calm by the grace of God the team would not be relegated, not under as long as Rashidi Balogun is there remember he rescued us the last time and we have confidence in his administration. All what the club need now is peace, continuity and stability for us to get to the promise land. He concludes

Why we broke up from ANTP …Dele Odule..

By Ayo Ademokoya.

President of the Theatre Arts and Motion Picture practitioners of Nigeria..(TAMPAN) has reveal that Incessant and lingering court cases ANTP had was the main reason why the progressives among the former association  decided to break away and start a new association that is aimed at truly empowering its members as well as project positively the image of the country to the outside world.

In an exclusive interview with www.harohkah.blogspot.com.ng  in his office before jetting out the United states of America recently, the Ibadan based renown actor and producer was  bold enough start a parallel organisation TAMPAN  on  the 20^th December 2014 for the main problems of  various court cases and litigations bedeviling ANTP since 1995 and anyone very familiar with the ANTP  will notice that it is either this person is taken to court because of greed of mismanagement or one selfish reason or the other which has become  a clog in the wheel of progress for the ANTP and since we want to move on some of us opted out and we thank God for our achievements so far.

“Look it is just like when you say NURTW or RTEAN they are all transport workers the same thing with SONTA or AGN, TAMPAN or NANTAP  all of us belongs to the same theatre industry. Some believed that they are lecturer and they cannot be associated with a Secondary school certificate holder  so because of Ego they formed SONTA but as for us we came out because litigations has so far slow us down.

“Part of our achievement is that we have sent at least 10 of our members back to school to study in the University. We believe so much in empowering our members educationally and we have done that also we are going to revive stage productions he said.

 
“So far we give glory to God because throughout the nation we have branches especially in the South West and where we don’t we have representation. he concluded.

Rashidi Yekini's mother: Setting the record straight..
More pictures on Rashidi's Ijagbo house built for his mum ????

I never said you shouldn't lift the story ..I never said you shouldn't use the picture but please credit the source..

RASHIDI YEKINI'S MOTHER; SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

 (on the 23rd of February 2013 www.harohkah.blogspot.com.ng took a trip to Ira hometown of late Rashidi Yekini via Ijagbo for a purpose to be disscuused later courtesy of Jibril Mohammed counsel to Late Rashidi Yekini, what we found out was shocking and revealing after meeting with the mother and the grand mother who was alive as at the time.It was however shocking to read on other social media tha Rashidi Yekini mother is battling for survival a statement which we have to sort the view of his counsel here is the statement of Jibril and we will release more shocking pictures to you later to show that Rashidi Yekini took great care of his mother before and after his demise...more picture later but for now Enjoy Jibril's reactions)

 Contrary to the widespread rumor trending on the social media where Rashidi Yekini’s mother Sikiratu Yekini is seen standing an impoverished woman hawking bread for survival, I have to come out strongly to condemn in strong terms the malicious attempt by the uninformed sets of people who are set to tarnish the good image of late Rashidi Yekini as a prodigal son who never took care of his family especially his mother.

Attached to this mail are the pictures of the 4 flats of 3 bedrooms each with 4 Boys Quarters of 2 rooms each built at the back of the building which was built by Yekini for his mother before he died. Yekini`s mother had always been a petty trader even when her son was alive.

“This background building of Yekini`s mother picture trending online is actually a garage in the 4 flats  built by my late client in Ijagbo few kilometer to Offa and about 9 kilometers away from his village, Ira. Even before the demise of Rashidi, the woman had always been in charge of the rent of the building which runs into to several hundreds of thousands of naira without Rashidi interfering.

The Boy`s quarters at the back of the main building as at 2006 was around N48,000.00  each, while each 3 bedroom flat in the main building goes for about N80,000.00 each or more  which brought her annual income from rent of the building to about half a million naira despite the fact that Rashidi was always sending pocket money to her and her siblings. Apart from this, Rashidi made sure he empowered his entire sibling by opening one of the best hairdressing saloon for his late sister, late Rofiat, who also died in 2014.

Akeem (his younger brother) was not left out of Rashidi`s generosity as he bought 18 seater bus for him among many things I do not want to mention in this forum. I wonder where did the writer got the impression that Rashidi ever neglected his mother.

Even after the death of Rashidi, nobody, not even his two daughters have ever interfered on who takes the rent. Not even the ex wives, on behalf of their respective daughters ever query the mother about the income from the building. I wonder how she is now starving.  Two of her children are dead (Rashidi and Rofiat) leaving only Ismaila and Akeem. Ismaila is based in Kaduna with his family. While Hakeem is the only person living with her with his wife. How is she starving? Can an old woman exhaust over half a million on feeding alone in a year?

I am not against any further assistance by any well meaning Nigerian to her but I owe my late client the duty to set the record straight and because of the negative reactions on social media especially through Sahara Reporter which portray Rashidi as an irresponsible son, who never cared about his family. I am seriously upset about the impression being created by the people who have read the unfortunate story. The gospel and uncontroverted truth is that Rashidi made adequate provision for his mother. The questions that we should be asking is how are his two daughters faring and who is responsible for their education and upkeep.

Why Government starved 3SC of funds

By Ayo Ademokoya

There is no gainsaying that the players of  Shooting Stars has been appealing to the government of Oyo state to offset the wages and salaries owed them in the last 5 months. Why has it taken governor Ajimobi this long to pay up these players who had been playing on empty stomach a situation which many believed led to losing scandalously to Kano Pillar FC by 6-0

www.harohkah.blogspot.com.ng further investigated the main reason behind the reluctance of Governor Abiola Ajimobi’s reluctance to pay up these players

A reliable source very close to governor Ajimobi who prefer anonymity said that governor Abiola Ajimobi has consulted widely on the issue of  Shooting Stars revealed that the club problems need a holistic approach and soon Governor himself will come out with his own blue print that will put an end to theses lingering problems.

“of course, Oga knows everything that is going at 3SC, has consulted widely on the issue and you will be surprised he will come out with a blue print acceptable to all. Oga has received reports from every quarters and soon he will react but what his reaction would be,nobody know but I can  authoritatively tell you that he he will.

Foremost I must let you know that there is no money in Nigeria, not only Oyo state alone and government has decided to reduced there monthly allowance from 20milion to 12 milion.

Government is aware of the income from the  TV right, sponsorship from a betting company, merchandise of jersey and sales of players here and there with the meager gate takings as the clubs source of income yet not enough funds to pay players. 

What is however not clear to the  government is the status of most of the players at Shooting Star. Right now  we learnt that just 4 or 6 players had a real contractual agreement with the club while the rest are on loan, that means Shooting Star have just  6 bonafied and committed players, the rest are on loan!!!.

The little I know about loan deal in football is very clear. When a player is on loan to another club the loanee pay whole or part  of the player’s salary while the beneficiary of the loan deal which is the new club also pays the remaining part depending on the contractual agreement signed but  in most cases allowances and match bonuses of such player are the responsibilities of the new club.

So tell me what is the kind of agreement that are been signed before this players come over to join us? Let us admit that the management had done us a great favour by  convincing these players to come and play for us despite the cash crunch we are experiencing but the fact still remains that on what terms.

 how do you expect government who is been told that majority of the players sold by 3SC does not belong to them and nothing is accrued to the purse of the government after sales despite paying regularly their salaries.

For is instance when Felix Owolabi came to play for Shooting Stars on loan in those days, we were made to understand the rule of service that Owolabi is on loan to us and all he is entitled to from IICC shooting stars was stipends because his salaries are been taken care of by the loanee. So what are the kind of contractual agreement been signed that allows players come to us and move out freely without anything accruing to the club  despite paying them salaries here.

Until status and contractual agreement are clarified government may not be that enthusiastic about payment.

Our source further revealed that there may not be youth and sports commissioner in oyo state due to the cash crunch currently experienced in the state as the ministry of youth and sport may be merged very soon.

Oh What a night at Agege stadium!!!
(After about 3 decades I finally experienced night life again as far as playing football under the flood light,the last time I experienced this was probably in 1982 when my father took me to the stadium to watch Water Corporation FC of Ibadan played at the Liberty stadium. the week 12 match of the Nigerian Professional League between MFM and Wikki Tourists of Bauchi offered almost thesame scenario and Im happy to relive my experience here..)

By Ayo Ademokoya

Anyway I'm likely not going to comment so much about the game itself since Super Sports is transmitting live.
Today I appreciate Former Governor Fashola who deemed it fit to create a conducive environment for sport especially football to thrive in Lagos state.
Not that I'm watching football here at Agege stadium for the first time at least I've been here thrice this season alone..
I've watched more football here in Lagos than in Ibadan.The point is I'm just appreciating the fact that everything is working well here at night.

The atmosphere is alluring..very clement for astro turf field which most Nigerian fields are made of..
Scintillating live game. No feet's are burning or hurting ,the norm experienced playing on astro turf under the scorching sun.
If you are a regular customer here at Agege stadium at least a decade ago..only then will you be able to appreciate whatever legacies Fashola has left especially in the area of football development in Lagos...
Looking at all these young men in Agege ..joking and playing with visitors as if you be know each other before..
Unlike before..Agege /Pen Cinema axis is now a tourist attraction..even at night..Aaaaaaageeeegeeee..of old..who born monkey???

What about lightening? i must give kudos to whoever that is managing Agege stadium..It reminds me of the West car park at the Heathtrow Airport where everything was bright and beautiful immediately I landed.
Drop a pin here you will find it..cars are neatly parked and im so happy been in Naija..
Last but not the least..its about MFM players..mostly from Agege..

This is truly a community based football.club..it has not only kept the restless Agege youth busy..it has also provided employment for people here..
Talents been discovered example is the scorer of tonights match Stephen Odey ..A boy who just left Dairy Farm Secondary School ,a school righ behind the stadium

Above MFM is preaching Christ through football..just check out there theme song..
Aaah who say nothing works in Naija..
For your informarion..LMC is working, Super Sports is working, Lagos State is working..

Aaaa..Eko baje ti.. Oyo nko?

My team lost to fatigue..Maikaba.

By Ayo Ademokoya

Coach of Wikki Tourists of Bauchi, Coach Maikaba has blamed fatigue for the poor performance of his team and wished they have not been involved in long journey recently.

Speaking to journalists at the post match conference after his team lost 0-1 to MFM of Lagos in the week 12 of the Nigerian Professional League, Maikaba also attributed the loss of the game to MFM to the fact that one of his players was psychological down due to the loss of his father but commended the the League Management Company for   introducing games at Night

“Waziri,one of my major player lost his father and I think my players are a bit tired to to be able to curtail the rampaging attackers of MFM whom I believed deserve to win.

Playing football at night to me is good omen as you can see that the work rate of players is very high due to the cool whether unlike playing in the afternoon. I really commend LMC for this” he concluded
