it’s better to be king in your village

Former Arsenal, Manchester City, and Sevilla player Samir Nasri has advised Kylian Mbappe against making a move to Real Madrid. Nasri while speaking to Journal du Dimanche, believes that Mbappe would be better off staying at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The retired player who had a successful career in English and Spanish football, emphasized on Mbappe’s roots in the Paris region and suggested that staying at PSG would be a wise decision. “He is from the Paris region. I would stay at PSG instead of going to Real Madrid to win the Champions League.

The future of Kylian Mbappe at PSG has been nothing but speculations, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. The decision to move or not to move after the expiration of his contract at PSG lies totally in his hands. Recall that Real Madrid has been a prominent contender for the French international signature, with President Florentino Perez expressing a strong desire to bring the 24-year-old to Los Blancos. Although, the Spanish capital has denied any direct talks with player in a recent statement. “Given information in the media about negotiations between the player Kylian Mbappé and our club, Real Madrid state that this information is categorically false. “Negotiations have not taken place with a player who belongs to PSG,” the statement read.

‘Gypsy King’ survives knockdown in controversial points win over Ngannou

Tyson Fury £150 million showdown with MMA star Francis Ngannou ended in a controversial points victory for the Gypsy King. Fury faced a tough challenge when he was knocked down by Ngannou in the third round and subsequently struggled throughout the fight. However, it was surprising that the result of the bout favoured the WBC champion, who the judges declared winner – 95-94 Ngannou, 96-93 Fury, and 95-94 Fury. The Sun UK reported that Fury who was stunned by Ngannou’s moves admitted, “That definitely wasn’t in the script. Francis is a hell of a fighter. He’s strong, he’s a big puncher, and a lot better boxer than we thought he’d ever be.” Francis Ngannou knocks down Tyson Fury in the fight of the century – Getty image He also expressed respect for his opponent, acknowledging Ngannou’s skills before and after the fight. The showdown between the undefeated WBC champion Fury and Cameroonian MMA fighter Ngannou, who had never trained in a professional boxing gym until the age of 22, was expected to be a one-sided affair. However, Ngannou’s strength and strong performance challenged the presumed script. Francis Ngannou punches Tyson Fury – Getty image The MMA warrior said after the match: “We can run it back again and I’m sure I’m gonna get better. This was my first boxing match, (it was) a great experience. “I’m not giving any excuses, I know I came up short. But I’m gonna go back and work harder. And with a little bit more experience and a little more feeling for the game and come back even stronger,” he added.

Tiwa Savage reveals nervousness almost ruined her performance at King Charles III’s coronation

One of the many artists placing Afrobeats on the world map, superstar singer and queen of Afrobeats, Tiwatope Savage-Balogun, professionally known as Tiwa Savage, has revealed that she was nervous during her performance at the historical coronation of the British monarch, King Charles III, which almost ruined the moment for her. Tiwa Savage gained world dominance as the Queen of Afrobeats, having been the only Nigerian artiste invited to perform at the coronation concert of King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle in England, which of course, was another big win for the talented superstar.

This was the first time a Nigerian artist performed at a royal coronation in England, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Tiwa Savage. The event was attended by over 20,000 people and was widely covered by the BBC, with over 18 million people globally tuning in to watch the concert. Appearing recently on the Good Morning Britain TV Show, Tiwa Savage admitted that she was nervous in the first few seconds of her performance at Windsor Castle. She said, “It was beautiful [to perform for the King]. It was such an amazing moment to represent the Commonwealth and to be on that stage. “I was nervous, I will say the first few seconds. But as soon as I started singing, I said, ‘I have to just get swept away by the crowd’.” The ‘Queen of afrobeats’, as she is fondly called, also described the British Queen Consort, Camilla, as “very lovely” during the show. Tiwa Savage and the Queen Consort met before her historic performance at the coronation ceremony.

I have lived in both places; I have lived in America. I went to school right here too, in Alabama. I was always spreading the gospel of African culture; food, and fashion. “So, when it was time to do music, my dream was always the crossover; ‘When will that crossover happen?’ And you know, I was one of the first to get signed by a major label.”

See some reactions that followed … Maxwell said: “The blame is on the Ooni of Ife for going to that kind of place and for also accepting a handshake from people. I’m not against the Nollywood stars but they are supposed to bow before the stool of the king of Ife. if it was the former Ooni of Ife who could try this and even give him a handshake?”

Surprisingly, the Igwes always decline because it is not their tradition. The chiefs will gently ask me to stand up and greet, introduce myself and sit down. “What a culture shock! But that’s their tradition, so before you walk with your heads instead of your legs, ask yourself certain questions. 1. Was Ooni in his palace sitting on his stool when this happened? 2. Are the people in question from the same culture? 3. Is Idobale (Porstrate) always a sign of genuine respect? 4. Is Ooni a king of the two veteran Actors? 5. Was this event in Ife? I understand that Ooni is a king to some kings in Yoruba land and even a recognised first-class king in Yoruba land and if I meet him anywhere…my chest will be on the floor. “I don’t expect my Ibo brothers to do the same except when in his palace. When we travel around and experience different cultures, our exposure and ways of thinking will change.” Iamflappys stated: “If you don’t respect yourself, no one will. If the real and former king is on the seat, this nonsense will not happen. I respect the work and talent of the legend but if the king starts respecting the throne and acts like a king, this madness will not happen. If anything remove your cap.” Noel Enomheons opined: “It looks like this king doesn’t know what his culture expects of him. I’m still thinking of that man in Nigeria who shake hands with the great Oba of Benin in that manner. Even the president and other world leaders bow before him. Sorry to say! Pete Edochie just disrespected the king.” Ugezujugezu penned: “When you hear OKWU OTO EKENE EZE…….. now you understand it.” Lincedochie wrote: “it is a gathering of elites.” Watch the video below …
