You see the Grammy that midget collect, I can never understand it
The song 'one dance' he did almost nothing abd was rewarded for it

Machalla's grammy was for his feature in Beyonce's Brown Skin Girl. The category was Best Music Video.

Fkforyou:
Good luck to him in his quest sha.

Plenty Naija artist dey wey no send this grammy, them just want make songs and cash out.

Davido has been dropping hits for years, has been steady cashing out so bar no be hin problem.

He needs to break new grounds and what bigger feat is there than winning a Grammy? Also, he needs that Grammy for his legacy and to cement his afrobeats goat status.

Hit for hit, the other two no big pass am but dem both get Grammy........even though one of dem own na by association.

Question

Seeing the population of kids at Club games in Europe and all, is the NPFL safe for kids to watch full games b2b for a whole season without fear of harm or misconduct?

Safety will vary by location. I would generally consider the South-West - Lagos, Ogun, Ibadan axis to be safer than the other regions.

But travelling to support a NPFL clubside would be too stressful due to our poor public transportation infrastructure.

E go better make person just do the home games of the NPFL club he supports where he resides.

If to say I still dey Lag, I go dey stroll into Onikan stadium once in a while to watch Sporting Lagos and Ikorodu City FC home games.

Fkforyou:
Actually, he should have promoted 'RnB' with Shansea that was the song that had Global appeal and standards but e be like say him team no advise well.

He was assuming that everyone can relate to Naija standards, it was a bad strategy.

I concede the point on song selection, my brother.

For someone who had said severally that his dream was to win a Grammy, I'm surprised he made such a gaffe in song selection.

Tomorrow is pregnant so make hin go again next year.

raumdeuter:
The Burna songs wey dey win did it sound like theirs?

Burna won his Grammy for Best Global Music Album. It was not an African music specific category then.

CCP don drop. If this a sub to Odogwu?

Reacting via a post on his Instagram page, Cubana Chief Priest claimed that Davido’s repeated Grammy losses were part of efforts by some Western music industry figures to pressure the singer into practices he described as “demonic.”

According to him, Davido’s refusal to bow to such alleged demands has made him a target for constant frustration on the global stage.

“Oyibo dey do everything possible to break a strong man so he can do their demonic sh*t with them, but he will never do it,” Cubana Chief Priest wrote.

He urged the Afrobeats star to remain focused, uphold his principles and continue releasing music for his fans despite the setback.

“Heads up brother, open the bag and drop another hot one for us. E no dey finish, gbedu na water,” he added.

BlueRayDick:
I bought the standing fan on Saturday and their engineer installed same day.

The full package is N239k and it includes a solar panel that was installed on the roof, an inverter-like device that receives & stores the energy from the panel, a standing fan, 4 fluorescent bulbs and 1 sensor light.

From my 2 days user experience, I think it is a good value for money. On full charge, the fan doesn't even consume more than 1 bar of the full charge for an all-night use. It is serving the right purpose I wanted it to serve.

Thank You for the recommendation.

Liking and sharing this post for future reference.

Tyla is top tier, happen to have know her for a while now and she’s very good, if care is not taking she go Dey collect that award every time she drops, her song Chanel right now is doing great numbers even more than this push to start, so next year Grammy sef fit done dey settled

A little bird just whispered to me that she intends to submit chanel for next year's Grammy again.

More sorrow and tears for OBO.

KingTom:
Opolo don lule, explanations don full dem lump us for World category e Lule! Dem carry us go all african category e still Lule! Dem attempt to sneak Chris Brown song 'Sensational' in e Lule! E join the recording academy voting committee e still Lule! Life goes on sha, make he drop another smash hit for us abeg I don list out some of my favorite lines from past tracks

I no wan punish you woh woh, I want to punish you woh woh

Call Bola make she collect Gbola

Wetin you give me choppeth

When I look into your eyes all I see na your waist

If your front turn to slippers o Cele go dey wear shoe

Stop eeet!

izzou:
I somehow find it weird that the whites will determine the best African song for an African.

The Grammy label the category Best African Music Performance but the truth is they want the music to sound like theirs as much as possible.

Tyla does not do African music but R & B.

WhoDeyHause:
Egbon be like you be Fc lowkey cause this neck pressing no come too much for first day of the week so?

Lol Brother, I no dey fan any artiste. I like good melody and sounds, and OBO and Machala have them plenty in their repertoire.

I think Kante with Fave was the better song and Davido should have promoted that song as the lead track and submitted it for the Grammys instead.

monerozi5590:
In 2024 and 2026 Davido lost the Grammy awards to Tyla.

I no just like this Tyla, abeg make she get out!

The award was rigged.

Davido did not stand a chance, not with Tyla in the same category.

There's no way the sensible voting members of the Grammy academy will give an award to "Sweet Fanta Diallo, I cannot forget you, Ebezina Ebezina, Nzobu Nzobu eh" over Push 2 Start by Tyla which was done in English and is more relatable to them.

Lest I forget, it'd help if Davido improves the penmanship of his songs too.

BadBradley:
yet you say they are good host.

YES....in terms of public infrastructure, sporting facilities, organization of competitions.

Sportsmanship-wise, ethics and fairplay, they're not.

naptu2:
South Africa's sports minister says that it's not a done deal.

He says that they are discussing with CAF, but as things stand, Morocco is still the host and many processes have to take place before South Africa can become the host.

Morocco shouldn't waste time or dilly-dally on the decision. They should withdraw already.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

chrisooblog:
lol It's like Morocco don vex carry their ball go house.

Reports suggests Moroccans may not host this year's edition of WAFCON again.

I like the "vex carry ball go house" analogy. It's so apt

Below is my post earlier today on the issue in another thread.

Good news. Morocco should officially withdraw already, they shouldn't waste time so South Africa can steo in timely. They should even go further and withdraw from participating in the WAFCON, good riddance to bad rubbish.

Morocco has well-developed infrastructure, state of art stadia and sporting facilities, and were very good hosts but they're terrible sportsmen and their sense of sportsmanship is zero.

This thing started after the WAFCON when they filed a petition to CAF against the Namibian referee that officiated the final for "refereeing injustices" and the fallout was the resignation of the Ivorian head of the CAF referees committee who cited "interference" for quitting.

CAF subsequently appointed someone from DR Congo to head the Referees Committee and the outcome was the poor and blatantly pro-Morocco officiating we watched in the 2025 AFCON.

As a result, they got away with too much on the pitch. Their players constantly foul-baited referees, played to con VAR, committed bookable offences without being carded, penalties not being awarded against them etc They stole opposing keeper towels, used lasers, stadium stewards physically assaulted players and committed all manners of gamesmanship tricks so the whole of Africa was happy they did not win the AFCON.

Also, I am tired of Moroccans acting like they did Africa a favour by hosting the AFCON as if the infrastructure and sports facilities are not for the benefit of Morocco and Moroccans.

Morocco did not just host AFCON, they corrupted and poisoned football. Even the CAF awards is no longer based on meritorious performance. That's the reason a Moroccan coach of TP Mazembe in DR Congo who did not win the domestic league or anything in the continent will win the Women's coach of the year award ahead of Justin Madugu who won the WAFCON.

So I welcome and applaud their withdrawal from hosting the WAFCON. Make another country host am.

BankyGee:
Lol, Nigerians are horrible people normally. It runs in the blood. See Oma Agbayatungba that normally eats free food in Italy courtesy of Victor Osimhen is throwing shades at him now.

Life. Why I love Osimhen and will forever love him is that HE DOESN'T CARE! He's focused, he knows what he wants and he achieves them by any means possible, on and off the pitch, no be X banger boys dey control him narratives.

They can keep ranting, he's deaf to all of the noise. Osimhen wey their national team no fit do without? Awon werey.

Oma Akatugba is a disgrace.

This is someone who Osimhen fed, sponsored his trips to Italy, gave free match tickets for Napoli games, help build connections and access to Italian sports media and journalists, and generally benefitted a lot from Osimhen that is misyarning and throwing shades because Osimhen cut him off.

I like Lookman and rate him highly but even if he had signed for Real Madrid and Osimhen was playing in Saudi, Osimhen would still be the Super Eagles 001 and most important player.

Good news. Morocco should officially withdraw already, they shouldn't waste time so South Africa can step in timely. They should even go further and withdraw from participating in the WAFCON. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

elyte89:
Ndidi and onyeka shld watch out

He's a decent player but not anywhere as good as Ndidi or Onyeka.

The player I really rate who peeps are sleeping on is Anthony Dennis of Gotzepe. That guy is good, and I hope he really gets a move to an upper to mid-table team in the top five leagues.

zicky:
The kind downgrade Onuachu receive on a daily on this thread eehhhh. It's only when it comes to Onuachu statistics never matter. 🤦‍♂️

Where you rack up the stats matters more than the stats itself. It's the reason the European leagues goals coefficient exist.

South Africa to host the 2026 WAFCON if Morocco withdraws....

If Eric Chelle desires another tall, mobile, aerially dominant, pressing and goal scoring forward to deputize Victor Osimhen in the National team, the answer is not Paul Onuachu or Tolu Arokodare.

He should look at Elijah Adebayo of Luton Town. The guy is mobile like Osimhen, is strong, has positional sense, very good with his head, can hold up play, and more importantly is proven at the highest level, the EPL.

He bagged 10 goals for Luton Town in the 2023/2024 EPL season and that is no small feat considering he was injured for a large part of that campaign. Also, you'd appreciate that feat when you juxtapose it with how other Nigerian strikers have fared in the same league in recent times

Luton Town has dropped to the League One now but I still rate him higher than Onuachu and Tolu based on his general play and output in the EPL in that one season.

Mujtahida:
😂😂😂 Who you for prefer before.

That one even good. E get one guy wey hin best and favourite striker in the Suoer Eagles is Cyriel Dessers.

Turkish Football club rivalries run deep cos tell me why Galatasaray supporters are dissing Fernebache and celebrating because Lookman went to Athletico

I like this kind of beef.

MetalJigsaw:
Oga, Simon isn't playing badly stop hating on that dude abeg. Ejuke, yes but Simon, he's still relevant to the team.and that's why Chelle and the previous coach invite him.

You dey shout Tella, hasn't he been called to the team, what did he bring? Why isn't he making the squad already if he's that good. Nawa o!

On Simon, we may have to disagree agreeably but pray tell, where did I advocate for Nathan Tella's invitation? 🤔

Pls read my post again, especially the part about Tella and let it sink in this time. T for thanks.

Papi85:
Simon is not even my problem but Ejike. That guy still plays secondary school football. I don’t mind having Simon around instead of Ejike

I gave up on Ejuke after that Tunisia game in AFCON. Guy came in and was just losing the ball trying to dribble. Too worsen matters, the only time he was played through, and had a better placed Osimhen to pass to, he went for personal glory and missed the chance.

Sinon too is not better. The way he rolls the ball with the side of his boots when with the ball is annoying. He wastes too much time on the ball, allows opponents to recover to double-mark him and kills promising attacks.

Nathan Tella in Leverkusen isn't better too, so I'm glad other wingers/wing forwards are emerging.

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano

Jude Bellingham don pull hin hamstring. He was chasing a ball when he felt the sharp pain at the back of his thigh, and limped away.

When I pulled mine some years back playing saturday morning football, I was out for three months. Na aboniki and deep heat ointment I bin dey rub for the thigh sha

I expect with all the medical and advanced treatment regimen available to Jude, he'll recover faster .

darkelf:
Although I'm concerned about Athleticos style of play, it is better for visibility

Athletico only plays like that when they play seemingly superior teams. They play possession and attacking football when playing lesser teams.

You're right about La Liga having more coverage and visibility though. I get to watch Premiership, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and even the EFL Championship on TV right here in Nigeria but other leagues na streaming things

charlesemeka85:
Ebuehi dey empoli for Serie B

,......and forgotten. Reason why e no good to sign for relegation threatened teams outside of England.

If player wan do second division league for Europe, na the English Championship be the best place. Its the most competitive and visible. Top European clubs even recruit players directly from Championship clubs.

Victor Gyokeres - from Conventry to Sporting Lisbon

Jobe Bellingham - from Sunderland to Borrusia Dortmund.

etc

Semi Ajayi, Ryan Alebiosu and Bright Osayi are all playing in the championship and still getting Super Eagles invitation.

Femi Azeez, Arthur Okonkwo are in the EFL Championship and on the radar of Eric Chelle. I cant say this for any player playing in the 2nd division of any other European league.. Enough said.

TheSuperNerd:
Sassuolo wins 3-1 away at Pisa.

Durosinmi played 45mins+ with his 2nd G/A of the Serie A season.

Akinsanmiro benched for 90mins.

I'm still shocked that Rafiu Dorosinmi moved to PISA a team which is rock-bottom of the Serie A table and will be relegated to Serie B.

I know injury scuttled his transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt two seasons ago but from Eintracht Frankfurt to PISA is a big drop off. Na this same inopportune injury scuttle the chance of Elijah Adebayo from playing for us 2023/2024 season when Luton was in the Premiership.

Rafiu has a short window to get into the Super Eagles and cement his place cos when PISA is relegated to Serie B, na bye hye to Super Eagles be that cos Eric Chelle won't invite him over those playing in the top division of European leagues.

Pls is it too late to withdraw the hosting rights of the FIFA World cup from USA?

I am embarrassed by the video I just watched of an American journalist asking Heung Min Son if he would help Los Angeles win the world cup in the USA.

This people hosted the world cup in '94, hosted the Women world cup in '99 and '03, and recently hosted the FIFA Club World Cup, yet dem still no sabi as World cup dey be. Maybe they think its like their Super Bow or is it Major League Baseball world series.......

Buhari was there for 8 years, nobody plan coup. BAT enter, e never even drink water drop cup, dem wan off am. It is well oooo
