These days, tech has changed everything to be honest. With VAR, live stats, and fan apps, it makes it very easy to feel close to the game. I like how some clubs now use social media challenges to involve fans. If CAF can copy some of those interactive ideas, people will actually feel more...
Sports is already bridging the cultural gap naturally. You would see people that are from different backgrounds supporting the same team like one happy family. I remember when Nigeria played Ghana last year, even though we tease each other online, there’s still that respect. Football especially...
UEFA still holds the crown in this one. The intensity, money, and talent level are just too high to compare with CAF, but CAF is also improving little by little . I watched Sundowns last season, I must confess, those guys played a good football. If African clubs get better funding and structure...
If you ask me, I’m definitely rooting for Argentina again. Those guys just have that winning spirit. But deep down, I’m hoping one African team or one underdog will shock everybody next time. Imagine a country who has never won it before lifting that cup, it would be so interesting.
When you start to borrow money to stake, or playing non-stop without rest, that's a big red flag. I had one friend like that, always saying “just one more game,” till he lost everything. Once you notice that gambling is affecting your sleep, work, or relationships, you need to pause immediately.
If I win the lottery, the first thing is to buy a house for my mama. She really deserves it. Secondly, I’ll invest in businesses like tech or food chain. Then I might also travel maybe to Dubai or Zanzibar just to chill.
To be honest, those gambling ads can be so manipulative. The way they flash big wins like everybody is going to hit the jackpot easily is quite associated 😅. I’ve seen people borrow money because of one flashy promo they saw online. It’s crazy. These companies are suppose to show us the risks...
For me, legalized gambling gets both sides. It brings jobs and revenue, but it also fuels addiction if people do not know how to control it. I have seen young boys using their school fees to bet, thinking that the jackpot will change their life overnight.
To be honest, resisting the urge is not easy at all. There are nights I just feel like placing one quick bet, even when I swear I won’t 😅. What I do sometimes is distract myself like going to watch movie, play FIFA, or even sleep. I’ve also learnt to set strict limits and avoid gambling when I’m...
I’ve been there, and it's not funny at all. First thing is, stop chasing losses because that’s the biggest trap. I learnt that one after I lost double in one week trying to “recover.” These days, I cool down, review my mistakes, and rebuild my bankroll gradually .
Apart from poker, I enjoy cooking and playing football. Sometimes I just wake up, blast Wizkid for the background and cook rice with plantain. That can of vibe is always interesting. There’s more to enjoy outside the tables.
