“Take for instance, the most watched match in my area is Champions League and most watched teams here are Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal. Unfortunately, two teams of them are out which means there’s low income this season,” the young graduate explained.

On how surprised he was when Nigerians’ supported him, he said that when he made the tweet pitching for N1m, he never expected Nigerians would show him that much love.
