I would have been playing for Barcelona FC if not for music – Praiz

While giving details about his childhood dreams, R&B
singer Praiz, in a chat with Vanguard, revealed that he
would have been playing for Barcelona FC if not for
music.
“No! I loved Soccer. I was a huge fan of football and I
play well too. I studied Computer Science in the
university. I had this dream that I was going to be a big
soccer star. I was dreaming to play for Barcelona FC
because that has always been my club. I have played in
several football clubs in the country back then in the
North. For me, being an entertainer was something I
never thought or dreamt of. But as nature has it, in
everything we are doing, God has another plans for us.
He knows where to place you and how to use you to
inspire people.” He stated
“I am a good footballer, I played for my department
when I was in higher institution. I played for Kaduna
Polytechnic, I also played for Highlander FC in Kaduna
as well. That was the same club some big Nigerian
players like, Celestine and Emmanuel Babayaro among
others played for. It’s just that I grew up listening to
music. What you have in mind that you want to do might
be different from what God plans for you.” he disclosed.

THE ISSUE OF REINCARNATION, AKUDAYA: A MYTH OR REALITY. By Sam George

The issue of Reincarnation, Akudaya: A Myth or a Reality? Iya ibeji was a popular Ewa Agoyin seller in the whole of Brown street. She got her fame in the street when she moved from selling ofada rice to Beans. No okada driver or bus driver would pass by iya Ibeji's shop without dashing to eat Ewa Agoyin and Bread.
