Imaging X is Live!
@sonymea and @makingofchamps are proud to launch Imaging X, a platform dedicated to connecting Nigeria’s imaging professionals with the technology, knowledge, experiences and opportunities to grow.
To mark the launch, we’ve brought together industry experts Timothy Fare-Matthews, Sony Cinema Line Ambassador, and Aart Verrips, Fashion photographer and Filmmaker, to lead a series of specialised masterclasses.
We’ve built Imaging X for the Nigerian Imaging Industry. If you are a creator, follow @imaging__x. Lots of opportunities lined up for you.

Salah’s right foot got tripped in the build up to Argentina’s 3rd but there was no VAR check teapawt.org/FClipsB/status/2074554…

VAR didn't review two clear fouls inside the Argentinian box (against Egypt players) before Enzo Fernández's goal. Why? A foul on Martínez overturned Egypt's second goal. Why does the treatment have to be so one-sided? This is completely unfair. FIFA, be ashamed. Be genuinely ashamed. This is Robbery. Egypt have been robbed.

Nigerian wrestler Oba Femi was a huge shot putter in college when WWE randomly DM'd him on Instagram.
"I’m guessing they saw the package, they saw the size," he told me.
Today he takes on Brock Lesnar at #Wrestlemania. Who will win?

Favour Ekpepke (Carson-Newman) ran 33.89 seconds in the Men's 300m to finish 2nd at the VMI Colonel Bev Read Opener. It is unofficially the 6th fastest indoor 300m time in Nigerian history
Ekpepke ran 20.69 seconds in the 200m last year, one of the best in the NCAA DII ranks

Kudos to the team at MoC led by our Oga @bambostic. The team has literally spent the last few days calculating the different scenarios for the Super Eagles to guarantee a playoff spot & pushing out the info asap
We “invoked” this! 🙌

In this concluding part of our special feature on the Jamaica Observer, our Founder @bambostic talks about meeting the legendary MVP Track Club head coach , Paul Francis, who had some words of advice on how to operate a successful Track Club.
“He wasn’t the head coach then, but he was obviously already involved as a coach then, and he told us very clearly that, ‘This is not government-led; this is private-led, and it’s not going to happen if people, privately, don’t decide that..." Bambo noted.

Here's part 3 of our special feature on the Jamaica Observer - @bambostic gives more insights on @mtnchamps in the last two seasons: "This has the potential to change the face of track and field in Nigeria; it has the potential to change the face of track and field globally," he said.
"You know, in all my travels over the last decade, anytime I travelled to Jamaica, USA, anywhere else in the Caribbean, people always told me, ‘Nigerians, if you [only] knew what you have."

Kudos to #TeamMTN for sponsorship of the MoC Athletics Academy!
If this trend continues, then athletics, especially track and fields events, will be rejuvenated in Nigeria.

The Salwa Eid Nasser witch hunt (for lack of a better word) by Irish journalists is disappointing. She served her ban and that’s the end of it. If she’s caught doping again, she will be dealt with accordingly.
There's one rule dopers like to adhere to: Never take a test you know you won’t pass.
On the importance of the whereabouts system, the lessons from Victor Conte, and the curious case of Salwa Eid Naser. m.independent.ie/sport/olymp…

Gods will not mine. It's been a hard one coming. Tried to be mentally ready regardless of the shocking news I took few days back. I gave it my all from lane 9.

@MJGold so are you saying you'll bring @GrandSlamTrack to Africa? Now that Tobi Amusan @Evaglobal01 has been completed vindicated by CAS, do you now believe her World Record times? A good businessman would sign up Nigeria's most famous Athlete for this, don't miss your moment! 😇
Funny initially. Then the end of this video turns to shock seeing these conditions for some of the greatest track athletes in the world! Professionals deserve a professional environment. Thats why I created @GrandSlamTrack
