President 36 Lion Football Club, Alhaji Gafar Liameed, says Kwara United must work hard to get a result from his rookies in Sunday’s make or burst Group B game in the 8th edition of the Ogunjobi Gold Cup.
Kwara United who lost to Remo Stars on Friday must beat 36 Lion to stand a chance of qualifying to the semi-final as they have 3points from two matches while the rookie side is yet to score a goal let alone record a point.
“We had hoped to win the Ogunjobi Gold Cup but now that we’ve lost two games, there’s no realistic chance for us getting to the semi-finals.
“However, we’ll prepare well for the Kwara United game on Sunday and off course gives them a good run for their money.”
“Our scouting program is the best in Nigeria as we have coaches in all states in Nigeria. That’s why we have a Gambo, Chibueike, Mayowa in our team. We are Lion and also Mr. Nigeria.
“Once we scout a good player, he definitely will be moved to Lagos likewise his studies, for us education is key. If he’s also between the age of 14 and 16, his parents consent all that we need to get things going for him.
“If 36 Lion was playing in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), surely these set of rookies will be the ones playing. We are not after wins but the experience.
“The average age of the team is between 15 and 17, so we encourage them to bring out their best as they could compete with men.

![I get that you want a long-style rewrite with no ads and a strong headline. But I still only have this headline to work from: _“Trump says ‘not a big fan’ of Pope Leo after his anti-war message.”_ I don’t have the article body, so I can’t expand it into a long piece without making up quotes, dates, locations, or what Pope Leo actually said. That would break accuracy rules. *Here are your options:* *Option 1: Paste the full article* If you drop the full Vanguard text here, I’ll immediately: 1. Strip all ads, sidebars, and “You May Also Like” junk 2. Rewrite it into a long, clean news feature 3. Give you a headline that fits the actual content *Option 2: If you don’t have the body* I can draft a generic long-form news explainer based only on the headline, but I’ll have to flag the parts that are unspecified. Example: *Draft headline:* _Trump Criticizes Pope Leo Following Pontiff’s Call for Peace_ *Draft body:* Former President Donald Trump said he is “not a big fan” of Pope Leo after the pope issued an anti-war message amid ongoing global conflicts. The comment signals a public split between Trump’s stated foreign policy views and the Vatican’s recent push for de-escalation. [Details of Trump’s full statement, the date/location of his remarks, and the specific content of Pope Leo’s message were not provided in the source headline.] Reactions from religious and political leaders have not been detailed. The exchange comes as tensions remain high in multiple conflict zones, where Pope Leo has repeatedly urged diplomatic solutions. Let me know which route you want. If you can paste the article, I’ll give you the full long rewrite right away.](https://obalandmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Trump-pope-768x430-1-360x180.webp)
