Date wey dey shine for Chile, Nigeria dey follow young star Abduljelil Kamaldeen wey just 16 years old. Chelsea, the club wey sabi dey buy talents like dem go chop, don yan say dem wan to sign this boy wey dey impress everybody for U20 World Cup. Kamaldeen don show him talent small small, no be small!
As e be now, the boy don represent Nigeria for the tournament, wey no easy o! Dem play against Norway on Monday, and wahala wey happen, Nigeria lose 1-0. But no be say Kamaldeen no try at all; him come enter game like wind, but e no fit change the match. Na so life be, some days you go shine, some days you go just dey survive.
Tomorrow, dem go put Kamaldeen for starting lineup against Saudi Arabia, and everybody dey expect say he go deliver better football. (Abeg no put pressure on am, e be small boy o!) If e fit perform well, who knows if Chelsea go call am finish price-dash him out of Naija?
Kai! The boy get talent. We fit even start to dey call am the next Jay-Jay Okocha or even the next big deal. Hope say Chelsea no go just come dey use am for bench, we no wan make am join the ‘substitute for life’ gang. This na World Cup wey dey happen, and the whole world dey watch him hustle.
So, make we dey cross our fingers, because if Kamaldeen fit shine for this tournament, na im go carry Nigerian flag high. (Plus, e go make us proud, and who no like the flex?)
