@justabdulmuqsit Imagined if it wasn't underlay-ed. He had 15 seconds of a muffled verse and it turned the track around. Dogmatic, if you want to call it but Fola has proved he can deliver, yet again!

@Gbenga_Gboyega Zidane’s Panenka penalty remains one of the most audacious, cold-blooded pieces of skill in football history.
Buffon thought he had him.
@Gbenga_Gboyega My first WC was 2002.
The first Co-Hosted WC. I got to know the Rs; Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo in Brazil. That was a formidable team. I was a boy then but i enjoyed shouting when Senegal defeated France. My dad was hyping and wilding.
@Gbenga_Gboyega The Argentines gave their lives for Messi. They played it for him. He was also spectacular. Alvarez, Enzo, Martinez at goal post, Otamendi et al. They were living for him.
@Gbenga_Gboyega Mayowa 7/10
Ronaldo is not in his best form for a world cup performance but he knows how to turn up. But look at the calibers of players in their prime. Ronaldo struggled till the final day to get the Saudi Pro League. He need not be the focus. They should see him as the ginger.
@Gbenga_Gboyega A Cristiano Ronaldo should be a motivation to the teams. Ronaldo doesn't need to be the focus. The need to feed him will cost them. They just need to play around him not for him. They've packed team. Bruno, Bernardo. It's so so difficult to overlook them.
@Gbenga_Gboyega The 2026 world cup was the last dance for a lot of them.
I still prefer the 2026, it was a sinker to see Zizou leave that way. And yes, the 2010 WC was more political than it should be but the winners were'nt the favourite. The budding rivalry of El Classico added to the fun.
In this piece for @DigiMillennials, I explore the growing expectation placed on Nigerian artists to respond to national crises, and the complicated reality behind visibility, silence, and influence in today’s entertainment ecosystem.
