(SUPER COOL) Iheanacho Becomes The Most Expensive Nigerian Player (See Full Lists Of The Top 20 Most Expensive)

-
In less than seven months, the transfer record for a Nigerian player is set to be broken, with Manchester City starlet Kelechi Iheanacho on the brink of a move to Leicester City.
The Super Eagles striker has appended his signature to a five-year contract with the Foxes, with City expected to pocket a minimum 28 million euros in transfer fees, which will make him the most expensive Nigerian player of all time, surpassing the record currently held by former Watford star Odion Ighalo.
Before Ighalo had the honour of being the most expensive Nigerian player, it was previously held by ex-Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel for eleven years after the Blues splashed out €20m to secure his services from Lyn Oslo, with Manchester United also compensated.
The third and fourth most expensive transfers involving Nigerian players were completed in the last thirteen months.
Former Premier League champs Leicester City signed Ahmed Musa and Wilfred Ndidi for €19.5 million and €17.6 million respectively.
The costliest Nigerian defender in history is Taribo West, thanks to his €12 million switch from Auxerre to Inter Milan in June 1997.
Thirteenth position currently belongs to Chelsea right wing-back Victor Moses, who moved to the Stamford Bridge outfit in 2012 from Wigan Athletic for €11.5 million.
Here is the Current Nigerian Transfer Record (Top 20)
1. Odion Ighalo – Watford to Changchun Yatai- €23.3m
2. Obi Mikel – Lyn Oslo to Chelsea – €20m
3. Ahmed Musa – CSKA to Leicester – €19.5m
4. Wilfred Ndidi – Genk to Leicester – €17.6m
5. Yakubu Aiyegbeni – Boro to Everton – €16.5m
6. Obafemi Martins – Inter to Newcastle – €16m
7. Isaac Success – Granada to Watford – €15m
8. Emmanuel Emenike – Spartak to Fenerbahce – €13m
9. Brown Ideye – Dynamo Kiev to WBA – €12.63m
10. Austin Okocha – Fenerbahce to PSG – €12.4
11. Taribo West – Auxerre to Inter – €12m
12. Brown Ideye – Olympiakos to Tianjin Teda – €12m

If WizKid Loses At The Grammy’s Tonight, That’s A Big Loss For Afrobeats

I’ll confess this one time; I’m actually very nervous. Last year, I wasn’t as nervous when the Grammy’s were coming even though I truly wanted Burna to grab that win. But I had good reasons not to be worried. The top on the list being there was no Angelique Kidjo. Besides, the stakes were not as high. For Wizkid, it’s bigger than just the award. It is an official statement, a certificate from the Academy for validation. If he doesn’t win, what does that say about Nigerian contemporary music and the new Afrobeats and all of the kids that are coming? Then there is the Angelique Kidjo problem. Maybe she deserves to win or she doesn’t, I don’t really care. Wizkid is new blood, soon to be old blood and he’s a representation of how far the kind of music this generation makes can go? If WizKid wins the awards at the Grammys, that’s hope for artists like Rema, Zinoleesky, and CKay that the sound is enough. That we won’t have to do “ Lion King music ” (as Davido termed it) to win a Grammy, or t
