Some residents of Oyo State stated that there are no such Tennis tournaments or infrastructure provided by Governor Makinde for Tennis and could not understand why the Governor would spend taxpayer's money on an extravagant outing.
Governor Makinde has yet to react to the feedback of his constituents and has yet to arrive in the country.
A Nigerian football expert is not happy with some of the decisions made by Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle before and during the disastrous outing against Zimbabwe in the 2026 World Cup qualifier.
Olympic icon Usain Bolt damned the US college system being beneficial to Jamaican athletes. He gave his reasons, but they can be debatable considering NCAAs also has its benefits through the years.
The football analyst cannot believe that fans are defending Victor Osimhen after he angrily walked out on his Super Eagles teammates following the draw against Zimbabwe.
And Uganda's Parliament believes the same phenomenon can be applied in the country, but with English Premier League record champions Manchester United, who boast a bigger global following.
However, it's only a handful of them that openly show their love for the local sides they support, go ahead to watch matches and or even buy merchandise.
From the Ugandan end, dignitaries, including FUFA President Moses Magogo, Minister of Sports Peter Ogwang, MP for Kampala Mohammed Nsereko and a host more were featured.
The 'Balipila boda' singer was all praises to the developer Hamis Kiggundu, underlining his gratitude for the standards to which he has raised the facility.
Lumansi's 'Abakamanyi Fest' also comes in handy to break barriers that sports journalism isn't just built for the studio or newsroom but also for the open-end world - a concert of sorts.
