Qatar’s 2022 World Cup ‘Vagina Stadium’ Finally Unveiled (Photos)

A 2022 World Cup stadium in Qatar named "Vagina" has been unveiled after becoming the first to be completed ahead of the tournament, MySportDab reports.

The Al Wakrah stadium will host matches up to the quarter-finals and contains innovative cooling technology to bring temperatures down for the 40,000 fans.

It was designed by the late British-Iraqi architect, Dame Zaha Hadid, who died suddenly of a heart attack in 2016, aged 65.

When her plans were first released in 2013 they were said to have been inspired by the flowing shape of a dhow boat, a traditional Arabian pearl diving and fishing vessel.

The drawings were topped with a structure resembling the sails of a dhow.

But the images went viral with commentators suggesting the stadium looked more like a woman's private parts.

The 2022 World Cup has already been moved to the winter months to avoid the searing summer temperatures in the Gulf.

We Don't Want Early Salary ~ Cross River State Workers

Cross River State governor, Prof Ben Ayade, has promised to pay the new N30, 000 minimum wage approved by the Federal Government.

Ayade, who spoke through the Secretary to the State Government, Tina Agbor, promised to implement the new minimum wage as soon as necessary modalities are sorted out by the Federal Government.

The governor made this known at the May Day rally in Calabar on Wednesday just as workers in the state got their salaries for the month of May.

The state chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Clarkson Otu, said workers and the leadership of labour were unhappy over such early payment of salaries by the state government even though the government means well.

“As labor leaders, we do not support it (early salaries payment). We have told His Excellency that it is not proper.

“April salary was paid only last week and on May 1st he pays May salary. We are surprised he still paid early this month in spite of our protest. We will continue to engage him on that,” he said.

The state chairman of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Ben Ukpepi also decried the early payment of salaries by the state government.

Ukpepi said the leadership of labor under him will engage with the governor with a view to putting an end to early payments of salaries in the state.
