Why we bailed out Women League- Dikko

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) 2nd Vice President and Chairman, League Management Company,(LMC) Shehu Dikko has explained to thenff.com that the N10 million bailout handed to the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) was part of a solidarity payment that other Leagues have benefitted from in the recent past.

Last week, the LMC came to the rescue of the NWFL with the sum of N10 million, for the NWFL to successfully prosecute the second round of the season.

A number of Clubs had ran afoul of the provisions of the NWFL regulations including failing to honour three matches and were subsequently thrown out of the League.

However, with the lifeline from the LMC, the NWFL has been able to restore all the expelled Clubs to the League and rescheduled their matches. The NWFL is now in a position to pay indemnities of match officials, taking the responsibility off host teams. The matches resumed at the weekend.

“The N10 million is part of solidarity payment from LMC to other Leagues in line with international best practices, to ensure the stability and development of lower Leagues.

“The Nigeria National League (NNL) and the Nationwide League One (NLO), and indeed the Players Union, have severally benefitted from the solidarity payment from the LMC to boost their activities and ensure stability within the football structure,” stated Dikko.

Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee of the NWFL, Alhaji Babagana Kalli has commended the gesture of the LMC: “This gesture is praiseworthy and should be applauded by all football stakeholders. It is the reason we have been able to resume the second round of the season and reschedule all matches that were not played for one reason or the other.”

All rescheduled games will be played in midweek while the regular matches come up during the weekends.

Stop sit-up exercise

The sit-up is an effective exercise for anyone who wants to train both the abdominals and hip flexors. However, it’s also been shown to impose extremely large compression forces on the discs in your spine. That’s a problem. Bend a wire coat hanger back and forth and, eventually, it will snap. You can’t predict in advance exactly how many bends it will take before it breaks. But you know it’s going to happen sooner or later. Likewise, the discs in your spine can only tolerate so many bending cycles before the accumulated damage manifests itself in the form of pain. Sit-ups may not damage your spine right away. But each set could be moving you one step closer to a crippling back injury that keeps you out of the gym for some time. There are also better abs exercises to choose from. In fact, certain exercises have been shown, in some studies anyway, to work the abdominal muscles harder than sit-ups. These abdominal exercises not only work your stomach muscles but they increase the st...

Health benefit one 1 banana a day

Bananas are good for bowel regularity and satiety Adding a banana to your daily diet has an array of benefits in your body. Bananas help you reach your weight-loss goals, keep your bowels healthy, provide nutrients that regulate heart rhythm and have vitamin compounds for eye health. Keep a bunch of bananas on your desk at work and replenish your stock each week. You’ll be more likely to reach for a healthy banana — instead of heading to the vending machine — if you have a bunch sitting in front of you. Weight Loss Finding foods to fit into your weight-loss diet can be challenging, but bananas make a perfect fit. Bananas are naturally sweet and can help curb your sweet tooth if you get that afternoon sugar craving. A 6-inch banana has a minimal 90 calories, about one-fourth of the calories you would get from a chocolate candy bar. Additionally, about half of the fiber content in bananas is soluble. When soluble fiber reaches your digestive tract, it absorbs water...
