CBN Governor’s Cup is Dope Free: Hamid Abbo


The Captain of IBB International Golf and Country Club, Hamid Abbo has described Golf as a gentleman’s game where doping cannot survive.
Hamid while reacting to comments credited to Arsenal’s boss Arsene Wenger and world heavy weight boxer Tyson Fury who both believe that sports is losing the fight against doping, assures that all athletes that will be participating in the upcoming Governor’s golf tournament in Abuja are dope free.
“Doping in golf? No! Golf is a game of gentlemen, ladies and even children, infact if you take a performance enhancing drug, you cannot even see the little ball to hit. Because I understand when you do doping, you are so high, but golf needs total concentration, so there is no place for doping in golf” The Captain said.”

LMC boss Shehu Dikko opens up on the finances, TV rights, Katsina UTD vs Kano Pillars… in this interview with Bunmi Blair   NPFL First Round Thank you very much sir for the privilege to talk with you. The league is almost halfway looking at how the league started, what will you say has been the high point for you so far? I can say so far so good, there are so many aspects of the league that you have to look at. Technically the results have been very good, security-wise, we can say it's been good.

Cameroon vs Nigeria Preview: Winning midfield battle key to Nigeria’s success.

By Bunmi Blair The Super Eagles of Nigeria look set to complete a double over the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon and could become the first African side to secure a place at the Russia 2018 World Cup today. A win for Nigeria will take them to 12 points in a group that will also see Algeria host Zambia on Tuesday and with Algeria expected to win or pick at least one point in the game. If these happen, then the Super Eagles would have booked their place at the Russia 2018 FIFA world cup with two games to spare. But a draw or a loss for the Super Eagles means they will have to wait for their next fixture which is at home against Zambia on October 7, 2017, to try and secure a place in Russia. Super Eagles captain Mikel John Obi says why wait till next month when all they need to do is to beat Cameroon in Yaounde? “We are just very keen to finish what we started. We started a job in Uyo and it is time to finish it. If we can pick the World Cup ticket by Monday, why wait an...

  By Bunmi Blair Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Emmanuel Babayaro, says Nigeria should never worry about the availability of any of the Super Eagles players, ahead of world cup qualifier against Cape Verde. The Atlanta 1996 gold-winning goalkeeper, believes it is an opportunity for other players to prove themselves. English Premier League clubs had announced they will not release players for international matches played in so-called covid-19 “red-list” countries, because players travelling to red-list countries would have to follow UK COVID regulations upon their return, ruling them out of some club matches. Babayaro, while speaking on 95.1 Nigeria Info FM, Abuja, says this could be a blessing in disguise for Nigeria:  "I believe in every situation it creates another and even better opportunity.  If someone will not play, somebody else we play." "With all due respect, by now the Nigerian national team,  we should have two to three standby teams that people can walk i...
