Argentina seeks football ties with Nigeria



Argentine government is seeking football partnership with Nigeria.
The newly-appointed Ambassador of Argentina to Nigeria, Gustavo Dzugala on Thursday made the proposal when he paid a courtesy visit to the President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Aminu Maigari at the Glass House in Abuja.

Dzugala, who is only a month old in Nigeria, after serving in the same capacity in Serbia, is seeking closer ties between Nigeria and Argentina National Teams as well as Clubs in both nations. "Football is more than just a game; it is becoming a very potent political tool all over the world. Football makes the world go round beautifully, because it is the 'beautiful game'.
"Our two countries can definitely explore more ways of collaboration and friendship in football, because both are very strong, powerful nations in the game," Dzugala observed. Responding, Maigari assured that the NFF was open to further collaboration between Nigeria and Argentina in the game.
"A former Board Member of Nigeria Football Federation, Barrister Chive Kaave, is the Ambassador of Nigeria to Argentina, and we have also discussed several ways of further collaboration. With your coming, we will activate most of the possible areas and bring them to fruition," Maigari said.

Nigeria play Argentina in Group F of the 20th FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil this summer, with tickets for the June 25 match in Porto Alegre long sold out.

In a two-match friendly in 2011, Nigeria's Super Eagles beat Argentina 4-1 in Abuja, with the Argentines winning the second leg 3-1 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Some common causes of body odor can include stress, illness and eating certain foods. Let’s examine some of the other complex biological mechanisms behind B.O. First things first, where does sweat come from? Science tells us that there are actually two different kinds of sweat. Regular sweat come from the eccrine glands, which are located all over the body and open directly onto the skin. If you are in hot conditions or are physically exerting yourself, your body temperature will rise. The eccrine glands are stimulated and release perspiration, which is mostly made up of water and salt. This basic type of sweat is virtually odorless and is used as a simple mechanism to cool down the body through evaporation. The sweat that causes odor is a separate type. It comes from the apocrine glands, which are located near hair follicles...
