In Mr 2kay's voice,God can bless anybody.Dont ever look down on anyone but Nigerians are number one when it comes to such attitude,the moment they see small money,attain a position,the arrogance and pride shows up.

when that photo was taken he was already a fantastic player, playing for Palmeiras junior team, and was excluded to play for the main Palmeiras team because they didnt want to ruin his chances (as they already know he was a great prospect).

No one knows tomorrow. Pictures of this football star have been trending over social media platforms and the reason is very obvious. Four years ago, Manchester City striker, Gabriel Jesus was painting the streets in preparation for the Brazil 2014 World Cup.

Yesterday, Gabriel Jesus started in Brazil's first match against Switzerland at the ongoing world cup tournament. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.

The viral pictures from 2014 show a 17-year-old Gabriel Jesus, brush in hand, helping to paint the street where he lived as World Cup fever swept Brazil. Four years on, 21-year-old Jesus is no longer the painter but the painted.

It has been a meteoric rise for a player whose £27 million move to Manchester City from Palmeiras in January last year introduced an European audience to a talent on which Brazil are pinning so many hopes. He helped Manchester City demolish a series of records en route to lifting the Premier League title and now he's in Russia trying to help his country.

Now, several adjoining houses in Jardim Peri, the Sao Paulo neighbourhood where he grew up, have been painted with an image of Jesus performing his now familiar goal celebration, where he pretends to phone his mother, Dona Vera, his biggest fan and harshest critic.

Reference:
Unbelievable... just four years...

But the Brazilian scouting system is just first class, the way they manufacture these talents is just amazing.
Here in Nigeria, with over 150 million people they cannot manage to find a half decent striker to pair a washed out Ighalo. All we do is look for is finished products of mixed perantage whose only claim to performance is the better environment theygrew up in.

Tell me in four years what will Gabriel Jesus have learnt in Brazil to make him start as top 9 for the 'Selecao'. The boy is just raw talent, period. We on the other hand want 'foreign based professionals' even if he plays in Azerbaijan and cannot control a five metre pass and when we cannot we will recycle old cargoes till tjey can barely walk.

We have serious mental problems in Nigeria.
lol...true talk brova...the "five metre pass got me" grin

A lot can happen to or for a hard working and focused person in 4 yrs anywhere in the world, including Nigeria. There are many Nigerians who were struggling to eat 4yrs ago but are silently and honestly millionaires today.
My born of contention with some Nigerians who believe that if this had happened in Nigeria, them go say na "jazz".
4 yrs ago Iwobi, Iheanacho, Ndidi were U-17 boys in academies and FIFA U-17 world champions except Iwobi but today, they are playing in the world Cup win or lose their names are marked in history.
Forget about jazz, hard/smart work and dedication to your vision and purpose will attract the attention God to bless you labour with fruitfulness.
