AFROBEATS FROM THE STUDIO TO THE PITCH!!

Thats right AFROBEATS FROM THE STUDIO TO THE PITCH..


So a couple of days ago I was going through twitter and I saw something about Ghana Vs Nigeria. Obviously I had to pree the timeline and see WHEN and WHERE this was going down... Nigeria Vs Ghana is always a good match to watch...What was even better about this match was, it was an AFROBEAT ALL STAR match.. Thats right Afrobeat artist/Dj's and even dancers on the pitch representing their countries! Basically it was
  • Basmati vs Long Grain
  • Oya Vs Chale
  • Fufu Vs Pounded Yam


AZONTO VS ATLANTA!!

So I get told to come down, I was like I have to blog this.. I saw all the banter from the Nigeria side and the Ghana side....  From then I knew IT.WAS.ABOUT.TO.GO DOWN. *Kevin Hart voice*..

So the day has come I see both teams warming up..getting ready to do the DAMN THING!! 


TEAM GHANA (White)



TEAM GHANA CONSISTED OF :

Mylz B
Flava
Kwarmz
Gizmo
Wizzy
Gizmo
Skob
Kelvin
Ronzee K
Dj Abrantee
Dj P Montana

(And more i didn't get all their names) Sorry :(


TEAM NIGERIA (Blue)


TEAM NIGERA CONSISTED OF :

Ayo Matthews
Jeff Jones
Ruphie
Moelogo
Tayo
Weray Ents
Hakeem
(And more i didn't get their names) Sorry :(


So the game starts off with the Nigerian team singing their national anthem, I was thinking Ghana was going to comeback at them with our also super duper NATIONAL ANTHEM.. But that didn't happen. :(..So  the referee who seemed to be in his own space. (if you were there, you would understand what I'm talking about) LOL! Called both teams to the centre...NOW THE GAME BEGINS.


So I cant even lie, this game was giving me heart palpitations because Ghana will be shooting BUT not getting it in the goal, it would hit the goal post, the outside of the goal, even the cage but would not enter the actual goal… Nigeria was playing hard ballllll. They were tackling, going in for the kill, all I saw were players in white tumbling. I think after a good 20 minutes into the game AYO MATTHEWS (Weray Ents Manager) scored the first goal of the game for Nigeria.


That goal caught the Ghanaians off guard, I was shocked. But now Ghana knew they had to step up their game..

FAILURE WAS NOT OUR PORTION!

Now the game goes from GEAR 1 to GEAR 5, the hard ball begins...Ghana is kicking the ball, , someone got injured and came off, Nigeria is getting the ball… AND THEN....... Sebastian French scores the 1st goal of the game for GHANA.!! Ghana goes Wild...

Now its starts to rain, obviously things are getting more intense, a bit of anger starts appearing on the pitch..  THEN ..DJ SPECIAL D passes the ball to FLAVA and what an amazing pass it was, cause FLAVA gave Ghana their 2nd GOAL, with a GBOSA KICK



It was bloody amazing i tell you!..And obviously Ghana celebrated the goal doing the latest Ghanaian dance move the ALQUIEDA...

Then Nigeria came up again, with Jeff Jones scoring the awaited 2nd Goal. Now the game is starting to look peak both teams are tired. Its time for a Kenkey and Fish and Ogbunu soup with Gari break… A.K.A HALF TIME!

Both teams go into the different sides of the pitch, to discuss,re organise, RE STRATEGISE. it seemed intense..for like 10 minutes..Then the 2nd half began, NOW BOTH TEAMS are officially running on full vim...It's a lot cause there's not alot of time left and yet neither Ghana or Nigeria has scored a 3rd goal. Both teams and their supporters did not want to draw… KINI DRAW KE..Wey ting be dat!
There had to be a winner. But yet both team's goal keepers were just catching and kicking the ball. They were just giving the ball simple Mike Tyson blows....Time was running out, tensions were running high..people are getting tired and wet its cold. THEN GOD ANSWERED GHANA'S HOLY GHOST FIRE PRAYER, MISTA SILVA scored Ghana's 3RD goal… 


*BLOWS WHISTLE*

GAME DONE!!

GHANA 3-2 NIGERIA..


(Ghana celebrating)

It was a real good game, Nigeria played well, Ghana played well! It was a vibes. Just pure fun and banter!! At the end Ghana was awarded with a lil trophy..
