Olowu Daniel

Yesterday, while watching Shooting Stars play, I reflected that for over 30 years, I’ve been a regular at our home games at Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan. I’ve watched hundreds of matches. I followed our CAF Cup victory run in 1992. If I remember correctly, it was the legendary Felix Owolabi’s last season as a player. I was there for almost every home game in 1994, witnessing the deadly partnership of Olumide Harris and Duke Udi. I followed closely again in 1995, our double-winning season, attending nearly all our home games. In 1996, I didn’t miss a single home game during the Champions Cup run. The final itself was played at Liberty Stadium. We won 2–1 on the day, even though we lost on penalties in the return leg. Till today, I still feel the late Amodu Shuaibu rushed the substitution of Ajibade Babalade for Patrick Paschal, and it unsettled our defense at a crucial moment, allowing Zamalek to score an away goal. I’ve seen this club relegated, and I’ve seen it rise again. I followed the team to Ijebu Ode when Adamasingba was under renovation. I’ve watched us play in Abuja. I remember when my former company, Nairabet, sponsored the club for years. I also remember buying a brand-new bus for the team and maintaining it at no cost for three years. This club means a lot to me, and my support remains unwavering. Now, even though I own an Ibadan-based club, Ibadan United, playing in the NLO, my hope is that it becomes a pipeline of talent for Shooting Stars, with those players going on to represent Ibadan proudly on bigger stages around the world. Congratulations to all our fans on the thrilling win yesterday. Up Shooting Stars.

I remember telling Olowu Daniel that Chelsea owners won't make the club better. The signs were there from the moment they took over the club.

When Mamelodi Sundowns F.C played Remo Stars in Abeokuta earlier this season, They came with 3 match analysts

btw, we have some very talented left footed players in shooting under 10... Get ready for them.
