2024 Football Kits: Nigeria’s New Home & Away Kits | Fab.ng

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are gearing up for their upcoming matches with a stylish refresh—brand-new jerseys courtesy of sportswear giant Nike! Unveiled recently, the 2024 football kits mark a return to white as the home team’s primary colour, a change from the last three years.

The home jersey features a clean white base, a colour symbolic of unity and peace. However, it doesn’t lack character. Subtle green and white stripes adorn the sleeves and shorts, echoing the colours of the Nigerian flag. A faded eagle design takes centre stage on the front, a symbol of national pride and strength.

Interestingly, the inscription “Naija” replaces the usual Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) crest. This added a touch of informality and a nod to the country’s slang term.

The away kit, on the other hand, stays true to tradition. It’s a bold display of the iconic Nigerian green, a colour associated with hope and renewal. The familiar Nigerian Football Federation logo takes its rightful place on the front, solidifying the team’s identity.

This shift in the home jersey’s colour scheme is a noteworthy one. It signifies a fresh start and a renewed sense of purpose for the Super Eagles. The white base could also be interpreted as a blank canvas, ready to be filled with victories and achievements in the upcoming matches.

The 2024 football kits are expected to be seen in action on March 22nd, when the Super Eagles face off against Ghana. Another match against Mali in Marrakech, Morocco, will follow this.

With these exciting games on the horizon, football fans are eager to see their national team sporting the new kits and soaring to new heights.

Actor Amaechi Muonagor Calls For Financial Aid... | Fab.ng

Veteran Nollywood actor Amaechi Muonagor is facing a health crisis. In a video circulating on social media on Monday, March 18th, 2024, the beloved actor appeared frail, lying in bed. The purpose of the video was to appeal to Nigerians for financial assistance.

Actor Kingsley Orji, present at Muonagor’s bedside, voiced the plea for help on Muonagor’s behalf. The funds are urgently needed to cover the costs of a kidney transplant surgery planned to take place in India.

Orji said,

“It has not been easy. He has been in this condition for months now. He wants to go for a kidney transplant. What we want is for you to help us for him to travel to India. He just came back from the ICU in Nnewi Teaching Hospital a couple of days ago. He was responding to treatment but not very well.”

Actor Kingsley Orji added another concerning detail: Amaechi Muonagor’s kidney problems have also affected his ability to speak clearly.

“We decided to bring him home because there was no money, but it is not advisable. He barely talks well. Please, he needs your help,” he said.

The post caption read,

Special Public Appeal on our Veteran Nollywood actor Amechi Monagor, please my brothers and sisters lets help him more to go for the kidney transplant in india.”

Back in early November of last year, Amaechi Muonagor revealed some difficult news. He had been diagnosed with kidney failure. To make matters worse, he also suffered a stroke that left him paralysed on one side of his body.

Further narrating, he said,

“I’m sick, this thing that is called stroke caught up with me, and from there they rushed me to the hospital. The first hospital they rushed me to was in Nnewi, where I spent some two months and I was referred to Teaching Hospital Nnewi and here I am. I was on a movie set with Emeka Ani, Patience Ozokwo, Rita Edochie, and Ebele Okaro. I was about to enter my car when I was struck with this problem, and since then it has been getting worse.”

He also asked Nigerians to come to his aid, saying, “I’m calling on well-minded individuals to come to my assistance, to see how they can help me. It is paralysis, half of my body. Right now, I can’t move, I can’t walk on my own. Half of my left leg is paralysed, so it is a problem for me.”
