With all said by Azeez Babatunde the 1960bet attendant for Ogba we discovered that almost all what he say was just not what the customers wanted to hear at that time. 

During an interview with one of the regular customer Lawal bamidele who said that 1960bet is a scam...they don't pay out....i won't stop until I expose them to the world. They don't pay their winners, but quick to deduct deposits from bank accounts....thieves, that's what they are, if am lying, try calling all their customer care lines, they won't pick up, after some time, dey switch it off, they are sheep's in lions clothing...they know they are owing customers, so dey are running...they should be banned and sued...

Another person named Mesehe Abiola said I thought I was the only one they didn't pay i have almost #82000 on my 1960bet account 30% was deducted without paying it to my account back. 1960bet is a scam...

If you were to take an opinion poll, large numbers of Nigerian would say they believe 1960bet is a good thing for young people," said Mesehe Abiola. "But perhaps equally larger numbers of people would either doubt or have questions about the value of 1960bet in young people's lives.

NATIONAL STUDY SHOWS ORGANIZED SPORTS HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON NIJ STUDENTS

Students who participate in sports express less hostility toward their classmates and are more likely to graduate in flying colour, according to the preliminary results of an ongoing national study. 
 
"We are finding that individual students who participate in sports are less likely to be hostile or antagonistic toward other students regardless of their race or ethnicity," said Obatobi Bada, who is the school football captain. "Sports require teamwork in the pursuit of mutual goals to achieve success. With sports, young people learn to recognize and value the unique and important contributions of their diverse teammates."

Although the data is still being analyzed, Obatobi said that another emerging pattern is that at-risk youths greatly benefit from participating in sports programs at their schools. Data from the study shows that African student-athletes are 10 percent more likely than non-athletes to plan to take college AP courses and 10 percent more likely to make plans for further study’s.
