For some years, I've been doing paid writings as a ghostwriter. Recently, I felt I should have articles published in my own name.
So, I've decided to be publishing articles on Medium once in a while.
Here's my first article on Medium:
https://t.co/0GkpuFVSkc
@Ifeanyichuck @tobyasky Please, regardless of how talented he is, encourage him to go back to school or at least learn a trade while pursuing his dream. Ensure he has something to fall back on if football doesn't work out. I have a lot of unpalatable stories about people with failed football careers.
@tobyasky It's really difficult to make from here. Very difficult. One egbon, who almost made it, got injured during the preparation for the U-17 national team tournament (he was deep into his 20s then). And that was the end of what would have been a flourishing career.
I used to know a lot of 'egbons' who wasted their time/career trying to get into professional football. In the early 2000s, they would go for trials in Southie, Libya, and a few other countries. Returned after a few months without any contract.
Now old. No cert, no handiwork.
How I wish football works like this, it doesn’t.
I went to few trials in Europe, but I sponsored myself and the first one I got in Italy serie C, the agent was an Albanian and a big thief. I left.
The only genuine one I got was in Spain’s 4th division but then I got a knee injury.
In Lagos, the teams I played for, had scouting programs where European agents came, they’ll pick you for next phase of trials and boom you don’t hear from them again.
Scouting program with like 500 players across many teams. The person that brought the agent has a player in mind already but will host a competition as an avenue for them to see his player.
One of the teams I played for had a link to an agent who had a link with another Israel agent, I remember they use to charge at least 400k then as at 2016/17, they’ll take you there, abandon you, the club won’t even give you a proper trial, after 14 days they’re back.
It’s a very very difficult situation from
Nigeria, very very…
I personally reached out to over 120 football clubs. Sent emails, reached out via social media and all, uploaded my videos, it was very difficult.
The good thing is, the only genuine one I got in spain was through instagram, the algorithms noticed my search over time and would even suggest different agents for me to follow.
This man chatted me and wanted to take me to 3rd division but age again came into play, then we moved to 4th. First day in the club, dem don give me everything, I was glad I was gonna get a chance.
The man told me in Spanish to rip this division off and I’ll go to the top, injury came knocking and the rest is history.
All these Sevilla give him a trial doesn’t work, football no Dey work like that, the Grace wey you need go mad gan, genuine agents wey go fit help.

Goat empowerment?
How did anyone conceive such a nonsensical idea?
With people like this guy at the helm of affairs, Nigeria may never thrive.
One would think you were there when it all went down.
Dr Chukwuka who shot & killed EFCC officers:
- wasn’t taken unaware; operatives knocked & spoke to him
- refused to open his door; so operatives broke in
- after shooting operatives, ran & hid in his neighbour’s ceiling; where he was arrested
- claims gun fired belongs to his dad
Y'all don't know when and where to stop. Radarada.
You should be ashamed of yourself lekan Fabiola
Inviting an Igbo man to this show to chase clout or what do you stand to achieve with this, is this show meant for Yorubas or one Nigeria.
you chose to bring an igbo man to a Yoruba centric show and platform
Shame on you 💔
@UKAZi_ "talk less of" is also Nigerian English. "Let alone" or "not to talk of" is the right phrase to use.
Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
Internet fraudsters are now so bold that they're dropping tips on a public space like X. What a time to be alive!
How are you comparing a crime to a religious custom?
I don't want to believe you are this dumb.
@GeenaUsman But jobs won't allow some people to move outside Lagos. However, for those with remote jobs but still think Lagos is the only place to live, may their suffering continue.
@mayorofsomorin @dondekojo Moving to a different part of Nigeria is difficult, but relocating to another country, where the locals speak languages you don't understand, is more difficult. Not everyone can do that, especially when the country isn't the one offering a job.
@GracieCerebral @dondekojo If you ask her what she meant by "local", she would probably say something about "understanding/speaking Yoruba". Such an annoying thing to say.
Besides, some cover ethnicity while the others focus on the region.
There's nothing confusing about the post. It doesn't just suit your desire.
The stats cover various age ranges. The latest one is 5 and older (as long as you're alive, you're covered).
The others have specific ages (15-24 and 15-49).
The difference isn't even difficult to spot.
@StatiSense Statisense dem don use agbado hook una for throat.
@mc_lively_ @Tbabz__ Considering you're also a content creator, this is a very dumb thing to say.
Many of your content creator friends do more stupid things than this, and I'm sure you won't say this about them.
Another silly take.
People go to clubs 2/3 times per week in the same abroad, and they still take care of their bills. But according to you people, attending vigils once in a while is what makes Nigerians at home unable to pay their bills.
It’s only in Nigeria you can be having these stupid arguments sha.
Here if you like be going to night vigil or church programs instead of working, your bills will be patiently waiting for you at the end of the month.
Embarrassing. I'm sure he must have done something like this when he was in Nigeria. NYSC is one of these pedos' favourite outlets.
Others like him will reap what they've sown one day.
