Diogo Jota: Now Valued at €84 Million

According to the CIES. Michael Edwards. Stonks.

Diogo Jota had a very productive month for Liverpool FC in November – five goals in five games is
a solid A+ on any report card. It’s clear that football research
group CIES agrees – they are now valuing Diogo at €84 million –
equivalent to £75.2million. That’s a steep increase from the fee
Liverpool paid for him: £41million in case you already forgot.

In November alone, Diogo had an increase of €16.5
million/£14.7million. The only three players in Europe’s top
leagues to see their value increase more than Jota were Borussia Dortmund

The Diogo Jota transfer is yet another recruitment success story
under the stewardship of Klopp-Edwards. No one knows exactly what
goes on behind the scenes, but thankfully the panic signings that
were commonplace under Brendan Rodgers’ tenure as manager have
become a thing of the past. Signings like Diogo have a clear path
to success because of the collaboration between the coaches and
recruitment team, and that’s a wonderful thing. You love to see
it.

Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has paid a
condolence visit to the erstwhile Senate Leader and ex-Chairman of
Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN),
over the sad death of his wife, Amaka.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Special
Assistant on New Media to the governor, Olabode Richard
Olatunde.

Late Amaka Ndoma-Egba died in a ghastly auto crash on her way to
Okitipupa in Okitipupa Local Government Area (LGA) of Ondo
State.

Governor Akeredolu who had earlier condoled with Ndoma-Egba
through an official statement, personally visited the ex-NDDC
helmsman in his Abuja residence alongside the Chairman of Ondo
State Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC), Engr. Ade
Adetimehin and some members of the state executive council.

The Exco members include: the Head of Service, Mr. Dare
Aragbaiye, Commissioner for Finance, Hon. Wale Akinterinwa and the
Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Hon. Donald
Ojogo.

Akeredolu sympathized with his close friend, Ndoma-Egba and
prayed to God to grant him and the family the courage and strength
to bear the irreplaceable loss.

Since the painful death of Amaka occurred, many other prominent
Nigerians have visited the abode of Ndoma-Egba in Asokoro to
comfort and show love to him and his family members.

Among them are: Vice President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Governors of Kebbi and Jigawa
States, Atiku Bagudu and Badaru Abuabakar, Minister of Niger Delta
Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio, former Deputy Senate President,
Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Senators James Manager and Smart Adeyemi,
former Governor of Cross River State, Liyel Imoke, Senator Bob
Effiong, former NBA President and one-time Minister of Justice and
Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Chief Bayo Ojo, SAN.
