Victor Osimhen: “I left home with a backpack and 2 pairs of clothes. The one I was wearing, and a green kit in my bag. We drove to Abuja in the oldest car you can imagine, and we arrived at midnight.

The next morning, the sun came up, and I saw 1 million kids with a dream.

Maybe 1 million is an exaggeration, but not by much. There must have been 900 kids waiting outside this stadium. The first day, I didn’t even get on the pitch. The second day, one of the coaches finally pointed at me.

‘Green shirt. Let’s go. You have 15 minutes.’

Just 15 minutes to change my life. I knew that the only way to impress them was to run. So I ran until I was sweating blood.

I ended up scoring 2 goals in 15 minutes.

I thought that maybe I had a chance. But then the coaches got on a microphone, and they addressed the crowd. They called out some names, and I did not hear my name. Everybody started walking to the parking lot.

My dream was dead. I was just about to get in the car when I heard people shouting.

‘Hey! Hey! The guy in green!’

Huh???

I turned around, and some kids were waving to me.

I pointed to my chest, like in the movies.

Me???

I looked behind me.

‘The guy in green!’

Lucky green.

I ran back over to them, and they said, ‘Hey, the coach wants to see you. The team doctor told him you were the guy who scored two goals. Are you the guy?’

I said, ‘I’m the guy!!! I’M THE GUY!!!!’

I went back into the stadium and the doctor was pointing at me and holding up two fingers.

He said, ‘That’s the kid.’

Two fingers saved me.

If the team doctor didn’t do that, I would not be a footballer today. I would probably be at the bottom of a well.”

😆😆😆”Old man, mind your business" - Wizkid drags 2Baba over Burna Boy comments

In a recent interview, 2Baba stated: “Burna Boy is ahead of Wizkid and Davido in terms of global growth.”

Shortly after 2Baba’s interview gained traction, Wizkid took to Snapchat to respond.

He wrote: “At least make peace with your family first before having opinions about music. Old man, I’m never letting it slack in 2026.”

😆😆”THE PHONES NO LONGER RING"
-Yusuf Buhari, son of Late Nigeria's President explains what life has become after he left the corridors of Power
"After Goodluck Jonathan made that call to my dad to congratulate him on his victory as Nigeria's next
President,
I used to receive up to 2,000 calls a day from different people. The calls would start coming in as early as 4 a.m. — from old classmates, acquaintances, extended family relatives, former maids, and servants who had once worked for the Buhari family at some point.
There were also callers with bogus, untraceable explanations, but my assistant would simply come up with polite excuses to end those conversations quickly!
But the moment my dad left power and handed the baton to His Excellency Bola Tinubu, the calls dropped dramatically to about 100 a day.
After my dad was buried, they reduced even further to around 20 daily - usually just from siblings and business associates.
The phones no longer ring. Nobody truly cares..."

Growing up, my mum came from the streets and my dad came from money, so I saw two very different worlds. My dad sent me to the best schools, but after class my mum made sure I still spent time with regular people. I learned how to greet everyone, not just rich uncles and aunties. She wanted me to understand that respect is not about status alone.

Because of that balance, I can sit comfortably in any room. I can share a table with billionaires and I can share food on the curb with boys from the hood, and it feels natural in both places. That mix shaped my music too. It is rich in sound but still very connected to real everyday life. That is why my songs can touch both fancy halls and small streets.
