You think FIFA gives a damn about you?

Just for an important note:
This boy doesn't represent Nigeria.

He has boldly said it with his mouth
His character too doesn't seem like something we would like to associate with.

Burnaboy is still 003 in Nigeria

I thought they said he would be cancelled. Hahahah

The brand behind Burna is too solid to allow that

Those who made attempt about Tyler eventually got burnt

When you hear the success story of other people don’t be arrogant . Be happy for them knowing that life is turn by turn . Just like when you see your friends getting breakthroughs in life , rejoice with them so yours can come quicker . Don’t be a HATER
