What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The event held at the Small London Mini-Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, was also graced by former Super Falcons star Desire Oparanozie, retired Nigeria goalkeeper Femi Thomas, and former Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye.

The 24 players were lodged in four groups of six players each, with the best kickers advancing through the quarterfinals to the final.

Olamilekan Adeshina emerged the winner of the contest as the amateur footballer wowed the spectators with his precise range shooting from the group stage to the final, carting home the grand prize of N300,000.

He beat a content creator, Kazeem Lawal, who got N200,000 for second place, while another amateur footballer, Maduagu Chimezie, finished third and went home with a prize of N150,000.

“I believe winning is about luck. I don’t believe there is any secret about it. Someone actually sponsored me here to play, and I believe he would be happy to know I won. I’m a footballer too, and I wish to make a professional career in Nigeria and abroad too,” the winner, Adeshina, said.
