my brother this is my first time of hearing about this pidgin commentary but from people’s comments he did a good job nonetheless, English commentators are wonderful too, the way they pick words and construct sentences are simply fascinating”every game a goal, every goal a beauty, he can’t just stop scoring”. Commend the pidgin guy and leave English lovers out of it

See im hard face. Truly, This man sincerely deserves some accolades!!! Without him, Russia 2018 might have been boring to some viewers!

He made the whole thing interesting with his hard Delta slangs...

When we scored in our second match, I remembered him saying that "Di boys don show dem say no bi fashion parade dem com do for Russia... Nigerians de call dem Aso ebi boys".
I don't know him and didn't even listened to his commentaries yet I enjoyed every bit of the world cup match....trust me, he couldn't have made it better! Anyways I'd still love to listen to his commentaries someday, he sure deserves some accolades.
