Soccerex Seminar in Lagos September 27th and 28th

[General Trousers]

I am helping promote the Soccerex Seminar in Lagos. Hoot!

The aim of the Soccerex Seminar Lagos is to develop football in West Africa. Having the Nigerian Football Federation and the Lagos State Football Association on board is crucial and will only contribute towards that development. Lagos and Nigeria will be welcoming the world of football with open arms this September."

The Soccerex Seminar Lagos will deliver a conference agenda exploring current football business topics in West Africa and will gather speakers from regional rights holders, governing bodies and agencies along with internationally-renowned personalities to debate key issues such as youth development, doing business in West Africa, lifecycle of an African player and football's social responsibility.

Following this recent addition to the growing line-up of senior speakers Duncan Revie, CEO of Soccerex added "We're delighted to have the support of the Nigerian Football Federation and view this is a seamless continuation of our fruitful relationship with the Lagos State Football Association.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING THIS EVENT AND YOU REGISTER - BE SURE NOTE THAT YOU WERE REFERRED BY CYBEREAGLES.COM ... there is a link on the registration that asks HOW YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS. So please pass the word and tell anyone who attends to mention CyberEagles as there may be some benefits to that.

(I should add that I am NOT being paid for this - but I am pushing to develop football in Lagos, which as I have often noted has NO FOOTBALL TEAM ... ).

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I will not be in gidi then.

Correction, Lagos has 3 football teams playing in the second tier.

[General Trousers]

Chingo ... that is my point though ... Lagos has no NPL team. I badly want to see the ACL return to Lagos ... the days when Zamakek, Mehala and Ahly came to Lagos is no more.

[General Trousers]

Guys ... Wi-Fi access has been very very very BAD! Many people use EtiSalat and MTN dongles and Mi-Fi widgets ... and they cost a bit. The Hotel Wi-Fi was not so great either. I am now in Abuja and will share the rest ... I am in a Hotel Lobby doing my best.

[mcal]

...good! Who be those?

[General Trousers]

Antoine Bell, Sunday Oliseh, Mozez Praiz, Pierre Van Hooijdonk, Sammy Kuffour, Christian Karembeau

[YUJAM]

So Oliseh seems to think that winning the Olympics was more valuable than a World Cup 1/4 finals placement.

Port Harcourt is where it is at ...

I reached Port Harcourt yesterday but unfortunately I am leaving tomorrow. I had a lot of wahala getting out of Abuja - we got a flat tire, the ATMs were not cooperating and so I missed the early morning flight I was trying to grab. The next flight on Arik was delayed by an hour. Aero Contractors is doing VERY well, their Lagos Terminal is big and clean. The general complaint on Arik is that they are disorganized on the ground, but their service IN FLIGHT is amazing.

That said - I had never been to Abuja, truthfully it is one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL cities I have been to in my life. One of my best friends from PH who lives there has even gone so far as to disown PH ... Abuja, sometimes you will think you are in Denver Colorado or in Maryland ... Security there is extreme ... we were in one neighborhood (and there were many Govt. Lodges there) ... being lost we pulled over and as the driver was calling for directions I noticed a gateman in mufti (he may have been a soldier) walk in the gatehouse and come outside with an UZI in his hand. He put the UZI in his chair and SAT down covering it ... and was acting like he did not see us. I saw him, and I said, let us not excite this man. Anyway we found our way.

Would certainly like to jam. I fixed my phone issues - my phone was really defective and I just got a new one.

Eniola Aluko leading a panel discussion. Both Eniola and goalkeeper Ann Chiejine were there looking very nice and classy.
