I don’t think Nigeria has ever been this bad. Which kind government bdis this?

[Daddy Lewa @TheHN1C]

When you lie about money you never won and start posting fake screenshots, how does it make you feel knowing that money isn’t in your account? Do you actually feel good, or do you just get depressed pretending to have what you don’t have?

I genuinely don’t understand it. People like me will win money and still lie that we didn’t win because we don’t want people in our business or showing up with begging bowls. Some of y’all do the exact opposite, broke in reality, billionaire in screenshots.

See how clubs are chasing this guy

It is unbelievable that Zadok Yohanna is worth this much. But that’s not even the point.

The point is that despite this, he may not get a UK work permit and may thus be unable to feature in the EPL this season.

I just explained why, and how he can eventually get to.

Watch this video to find out.

I'm pleased to share that I have successfully completed my Diploma in Sports Management from the El Roi London University. 🎓⚽

Over the course of this program, I gained valuable insights into sports marketing, human resource management, leadership, management psychology, logistics, and the operational principles that drive successful sports organizations.

This milestone further strengthens my passion for working at the intersection of sports, culture, business, and community development. As I continue my journey, I look forward to applying these learnings to create impactful sporting experiences, meaningful partnerships, and opportunities that contribute to the growth of the sports industry.

🚨⏳ EXCL | Newcastle have entered the race for Zadok Yohanna. The interest is concrete. However, Yohanna and Brighton have an agreement in place, as revealed and 100% confirmed again. #NUFC

Brighton are still in direct negotiations with AIK. Brighton are not giving up despite Newcastle and other clubs. A decision is expected soon.

To think this is the most expensive trip ever even from the flight tickets, it so refreshing that a great person silently enter my DM to support.

I like how much this photo reveals.

When I was young, there were so many footballers on our street. Most of them didn't succeed in their quest to play football. They were good footballers.

I once narrated a story of a guy who made it as far as the U-20 and his teammates lied that he wasn't there until they saw him at the AYCON. When most of those area bros spoke about young players in age-grade tournaments or even young footballers who made it far, they say they lie about their ages. Sometimes, I argue against this. I sense a bit of jealousy in their voices.

If you're used to the street, you'll know exaggeration is commonplace. They say things like players remove 10 years from their ages. At the time, it didn't just make sense but I didn't have data.

Now, I do.

I've spent days going back to see John Obi Mikel’s photos at U-17 and U-20 and how young he looked. Obafemi Martins Inter Milan days also. I stare into his images to see better and he was damn young!

Two weeks ago, a former Juventus player who's Nigerian showed me his photo when he played for Juve U-19. He couldn't have been older than 19. There are many other examples like that.

This isn't to say there aren't age cheats or deny its existence but that thing Nigerians do by quickly adding to youngsters’ ages like they are their parents can be sickening. There's a lot that can change in a teenager when they are exposed to some level of care.

Look at Yohanna here. Compare the two images. Poverty strips one of a lot of things, including growth. The things he's now exposed to would make him grow quickly. He's obviously still very young. And there are many like him littered in those academies. Just give them two years in Europe and they'll be shining and big, and taller.

Again, this isn't to say some people don't lie, but it's not every footballer who leaves Nigeria that lies on their passports.

This boy is young! A lot has changed for him in one year. I wish him well.

[grassroot football @Mayviews_]

A potential replacement for AIK if zadok moves to Brighton is Angelo Agbejoye, a fast, skillful, versatile winger, had trial at Manchester City and Hannover.
Currently plays for grassrunners fc in Ikenne.
