X-Kart Race Series Returns with New Team and Fresh Competition
The fourth leg of the X-Kart Race Series in Nigeria is set to return to the Work and Play Arena on Abeokuta Express Way, Ogun State, on Saturday, August 3. A new team, Team Larry, joins the competition, bringing the total to 12 teams for the season.
Larry Bakare, the team captain, is optimistic about their chances, stating, “Our racers are fresh and benefit from incorporating the weaknesses of all the other teams into their game plan. We are better prepared.”
Adeoye Ojuoko, President of Work and Play, expressed enthusiasm about the momentum and growth of the motorsports community. “We started this project out of pure passion to encourage Nigerian youths to express their passion for motorsports,” he said.
Despite Team X’s default in the last race, they still lead with 40 points, while other teams like Team Work and Play and Team Harmony are eager to climb the ranks.
The series features 35-45 lap events held at the Work and Play Race Arena and Smokin Hills Golf Resort Racing tracks in Ilara Mokin, Ondo State.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
