Editorial Policy & Corrections
Who we are
AdemolaSports covers Nigerian and African sport: the national teams, Nigerians playing abroad, women's sport and the continental game. It was founded by Dr. Victor Damilola Ademola, an IOC and CAF accredited sports journalist. You can read more about Dr. Ademola and meet our writers.
How a story gets published
Every story on the site goes through the same steps:
- A writer drafts the story and submits it for review.
- A reviewer reads it and approves it, sends it back for changes, or rejects it.
- An editor publishes approved stories.
Writers join by application, and our team reads each application and the writer's work before they can contribute.
Accuracy and sourcing
We aim to get things right and to say where information comes from. When a story relies on a federation, club, official statement or another outlet's reporting, we attribute it. We separate what is confirmed from what is reported or expected, and opinion pieces are published in our Opinion section.
Bylines and accountability
Every article carries the name of the person responsible for it, linked to a profile listing their published work. Articles show the date they were published.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we want to fix it. To report an error, email us with the link to the article and what needs correcting, along with any source that helps us check it.
We review every request. When a factual error is confirmed, we correct the article.
Advertising and independence
AdemolaSports is funded by advertising, memberships and donations. Sponsor placements are labelled with the sponsor's name and are kept apart from the text of our stories. Advertisers and sponsors do not decide what we cover or what our writers conclude.
Members-only stories
Some stories are reserved for signed-in readers or Diamond members. They are marked on the page and go through the same review as every other story.
