Here are some more information for Obi Synthetic:
Soccer is an exciting game which is played in many countries and watched by millions on a weekly basis. The basic essentials of equipment required to play the game include the following items, which can readily be purchased at most sporting goods stores.
First and foremost, a soccer ball is required. Only one ball is required for a game, but for training it is good practice to have a ball for each player, as it will greatly assist in improving their skills. Balls range from the cheapest plastic type to the most expensive professional synthetic leather ball. It is not important to have a professional ball, but it makes sense to have the correct size and weight of ball for the age group which will be using it. Using an adult ball for 5 years old will not really work, as the ball will be too big and heavy for them to use properly.
Secondly, the footwear for soccer is specialized and, although not essential to play the game, most players should have a pair of soccer boots. These can have studs or cleats which help with a players grip and turning ability. As with the ball, these range widely in price, but a decent pair can be purchased for a reasonable price.
When playing for a team in a league, it is usual practice to have a soccer uniform, which generally consists of a jersey, shorts and socks. These come in a variety of designs and colors, such that most teams can find a uniform that they like and are comfortable playing in.
Other equipment includes that which is used for training. This includes a practice soccer goal which can be used for shooting practice, and also for the goalkeeper to hone his skills. Again these come in a variety of sizes and should be chosen depending on the age group using them. Other training aids include soccer cones which can be used to practice dribbling skills, and a soccer rebounder which can be used to practice passing and ball control skills.

Jay-jay Okocha: Wikipedia Encyclopedia You Erred
Wikipedia the free online encyclopedia is arguably in error in its information on the hometown of Augustine Jay-Jay Okocha, Nigerian a footballer revered for his useful display of skills in the midfield department of the game. The Wikipedia site which maintains and continues to maintain that Okocha, one of Africa’s greatest footballers hails from “Enugu” is not only a goof but an attempt to mislead its audience who rely heavily rely on the esteemed site for useful information.
Augustine Azuka Okocha was actually born in Enugu state but quite arguably Delta State is his state of origin and it was for this reason that his state Government organized a (retirement) testimonial match for the former midfield maestro in Warri Stadium, Delta State. The stadium in which the match was played was waterlogged because it rained ceaselessly, much to the chagrin of the organizers, the state government decided to overhaul the pitch and lay a synthetic surface.
The match which featured World XI and the Super Eagles was largely boycotted by Nigeria football Federation maybe because of the feeling that they were sidelined by the organizers of the testimonial match. John Fashanu, El-Hadji Douf, Daniel Amokachi and Aloy Agu were among those that featured in the match.
The information from Wikipedia misleadingly arrogates Enugu as Okocha’s hometown even more erroneously when it falsely avowed that “In 1990 he joined his hometown club, Nigerian powerhouse Enugu Rangers” That he joined Enugu Rangers in 1990 is not in doubt but that Enugu Rangers is his “hometown club” is mistaken and needs to be corrected for posterity reasons. Let it be known and understood that Austin Okocha’s hometown is another Igbo speaking town of “Ogwashi-Uku” in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.
Please take note that Okocha is the second cousin of Nigeria’s erstwhile Minister of Finance, Prof Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and his father is Mr. Alex Okocha, a Railway worker who would later be transferred to Enugu where the master dribbler and entertainer was born. Prof Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is the daughter of Prof Chukwuka Okonjo, the traditional ruler of Ogwashi-Uku, whose late mother, Madam Dora Mgbodi also bore the name “Okocha” (The Guardian, Sunday August 3, 2008) Okocha’s father could not have taken up the “Citizenship” of Enugu State since I am unaware of any such law in Nigeria.
The Obi of Ogwashi-Uku, HRH (Prof) Chukwuka Okonjo has announced that the Local Stadium in Ogwashi-Uku will named after Jay-Jay Okocha after completion. The Obi has spoken and he will not go back on his words.
In June 2008, Hull City’s manager, Phil Brown reportedly announced that the Hull City which was to be Jay-Jay’s last club had decided not to take up additional option of another year on the Nigerian veteran playmaker’s contract following the expiration of his contract which also expired at the end of that season.
In furtherance he said that:
“The legacy that Jay-Jay Okocha will leave at Hull City is one of success. He will be remembered for his smile, his pure ability as a footballer and for raising the a Club’s aspiration” Brown says “the decision to release the former world Cup star had been taken from an economical standpoint, feeling up his wages for any potential new signings” (Complete Sports, June 6, 2008)
Okocha only played 11 games for Hull City and not 18 as also errornously held in the information supplied by Wikipedia. (See also Complete Sports of same edition for more information)
This information is highly necessary for future references and because I have noticed that the former Super Eagles captain is one Ex-Nigerian International whom much has not be written about compared with his personal exploits and contributions towards the development of football in Nigeria. More so, Okocha’s background or image should not be a maze of contradictions to lovers of football whether now or in time to come.
