Governor Hyacinth Alia donated vehicles to Lobi Star Football Club

Benue State governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has donated four new vehicles to Lobi Stars Football club of Makurdi, to ease the transportation challenge of the players and officials of the club. 


The governor made the donation at the Government House Makurdi, Nigeria on Wednesday, when the players and officials of the team led by its Vice Chairman, Mr
Dominic Iorfa, paid a courtesy call on the governor, to appreciate him for the support the team has enjoyed under his administration. 

Governor Alia who appreciated the club for its wonderful performances in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) so far this season, said the excellent results the team has achieved, have put smiles on the faces of many Benue people. 

The governor urged the team to maintain the momentum throughout the season, promising to ensure that the Aper Aku stadium is upgraded to an international standard before the end of the 2023/2024 Nigerian Professional League Season, to enable the team start playing their home matches in Makurdi. 

He described the group of players as the best, promising to continue to provide the team with a lot of cushions as a form of motivation. 

Earlier in his address, the Chairman of Lobi Stars Football Club, Barr. Sam Ode, thanked the governor for the enormous support he has given the club, insisting that the support is the reason the team is doing well in the ongoing NPFL Season. 

He appreciated the Vice Chairman, Mr. Dominic Iorfa, for the work and energy he has put into the club, describing him as a sports enigma, whom despite all the skepticism surrounding the club at the beginning of the season, has propelled the club to the top, challenging for top honours in the country.

Also in their separate remarks, the Vice Chairman of the Club, Mr. Dominic Iorfa and the Club captain, Daniel Atsaka, while congratulating the governor over his Supreme Court victory, said the club has enjoyed the best welfare packages so far under his administration, saying the players and officials have not taken that for granted as reflected in the performances of the team. 

They called on the people of the state to continue to support the team for more positive results as the season progresses.

In a short remark while receiving the vehicles, the Commissioner for Youths, Sports and Creativity, Rt. Hon. Terkimbi Ikyange, thanked the governor for the donation of the vehicles and for showing his love for sports and creativity, with a promise to ensure the team makes judicious use of the vehicles.

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online ...

I believe the answer may be yes. It's yes because two powerful states in Asia: China and Russia have consolidated authoritarian regime, that the end points may not be visible soon.  These two forces are working tirelessly to globalize oligarchy and authoritarianism. Their gospels has been noised abroad. Their influences influences have been displayed in some nations (with pseudo democracy) in the global south,  In Africa, liberal democracy have been badly weaken by the character of people in leadership: abuse of offices, stealing of public funds without questions and necessary punishments, plus rigging of presidential elections, leading to changing fortunes ànd quagmires. Beside, the curent hyper-inflation in Nigeria is blamed on the recent resurgence of Adams Smith and liberal economics doctrines (and partly by loyalty to Washington consensus: policies and insititios designed by the US government to globalize capitalism and it's associated cultural systems).
