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.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
