Ogun 2025: Benue Governor Receives Unity Torch

On Wednesday, representatives from the National Sports Commission handed over the Unity Torch to Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State.

The unveiling of the torch acts as an official invite for the State to participate in the event scheduled from May 16 to May 30 in Ogun State.

Accepting the torch on behalf of the governor, State Deputy Governor Sam Ode praised the delegation for their visit and emphasized that this event signifies a bond of unity, aiming to bring together all sports enthusiasts nationwide and strengthen our collective spirit despite our varied origins.

Ode mentioned that his principal is passionate about sports and has introduced numerous innovations in this area, particularly enhancing the infrastructure within the sporting domain.

He urged investors to head to the state and put money into sporting events, characterizing sports as a sector.

He stated, "It should be noted that none of the previous governors of Benue State have promoted sports development like Governor Alia has, particularly in terms of investing significant funds into the field of football."

We urge investors to join us in investing in the state’s sporting endeavors since sports constitute an industry. We view this not merely as recreation or social engagement but as a business venture. To tap into untapped talent representing our state, we plan to expand into various sports such as volleyball, handball, table tennis, and more.

The Ode also praised the resilience of the officials from the state-owned football club, Lobi Stars, acknowledging their determination despite the significant hurdles posed by playing away from home. He remains optimistic that the McCarthy Stadium in Makurdi will soon be prepared for the team to host their home games there.

K-Pop's Global Stage: Japanese Top Idol Groups Take Center Stage in Korean Music Shows

Sho Yonashiro, the 30-year-old leader of Japanese idol group JO1, recently filmed an episode of Mnet’s “M Countdown” at CJ ENM’s headquarters in Seoul. JO1, whose members are all Japanese, was formed through “Produce 101 Japan,” a joint Korean-Japanese audition program. The group is part of a growing wave of localized K-pop groups that follow the K-pop production model but are based in Japan. Until recently, these groups kept a low profile regarding their Korean connections, concerned about criticism in Japan for focusing too much on overseas activities.
