Argungu polo tourney will help take polo down to grassroots, official says

Baba Kyari, the Secretary-General of Nigeria
Polo Federation (NPF), says the Argungu polo
tournament will help to take the polo game
down to the grassroots.
Newsmen report that the Argungu Polo
Tournament is being organised by Nura
Kangiwa, the Patron of NSK Farms.
The tournament which is in its maiden edition
began on Friday and is expected to end on
Sunday.
Speaking to NAN on the tournament’s
sidelines, Kyari said he was delighted being
part of the event.
“We came to support something that will take
polo down to the grassroots and to demystify
the notion that the game of polo is only for the
rich.
“The more we can get the game down to the
local areas, especially places like here where it
is quite easy to propagate the game because
there is already a horse culture, the more the
game will continue to develop.
“This is the reason why I am really in support
of this project. It’s quite a new beginning and
we hope it will improve with time,” he said.
Kyari urged other polo players, enthusiasts,
philanthropists and corporate organisations to
invest in the game’s grassroots development.
He said this was important because there was
little the Federal Ministry of Youths and Sports
could do to sport the game and the federation.
Newsmen report that Saturday’s games at the
competition saw Zaria West Stream continue
with their winning run as they whipped
Maiduguri El-Kanemi 6-0 in the battle for the
Emir’s Cup.
Also, IGP Strikers slumped to yet another
defeat by losing to Dogonyaro Farms, also in
the Emir’s Cup.
Titan/H.Hago beat Keffi Iyatu Farms four to
three and a half in the race for the Shehu
Kangiwa Cup.

How to improve your feminine looks

Is there a secret to building a sexy female body? A lot of trainers would say no. A lot of trainers will say that you don’t need to differentiate between men and women when designing training programs. They’ll tell you that the physiological needs are nearly identical and only the hormones are different; thankfully, I’m not like most trainers. In fact, I disagree, and I believe that in a few specific ways, men and women need to train quite differently. Firstly, the idea that only the hormones are different is flawed, fundamentally. I’ve written about this a lot, so I don’t want to rehash, but the fact is that hormones change the game significantly. The hormonal differences between men and women account for more than 90% of the differences in the way men and women actually respond to training and nutrition. So, while I agree that on just about any level that there are a great deal of similarities in the way you can approach training, I recognize that there are som
