    How can sports technology improve fan engagement?

    These days, tech has changed everything to be honest. With VAR, live stats, and fan apps, it makes it very easy to feel close to the game. I like how some clubs now use social media challenges to involve fans. If CAF can copy some of those interactive ideas, people will actually feel more...

    How can sports help bridge cultural divides?

    Sports is already bridging the cultural gap naturally. You would see people that are from different backgrounds supporting the same team like one happy family. I remember when Nigeria played Ghana last year, even though we tease each other online, there’s still that respect. Football especially...

    CAF Champions League vs. UEFA Champions League: Which is more competitive?

    UEFA still holds the crown in this one. The intensity, money, and talent level are just too high to compare with CAF, but CAF is also improving little by little . I watched Sundowns last season, I must confess, those guys played a good football. If African clubs get better funding and structure...

    Who will win the FIFA World Cup?

    If you ask me, I’m definitely rooting for Argentina again. Those guys just have that winning spirit. But deep down, I’m hoping one African team or one underdog will shock everybody next time. Imagine a country who has never won it before lifting that cup, it would be so interesting.

    What are the "red flags" that indicate recreational gambling might be becoming problematic?

    When you start to borrow money to stake, or playing non-stop without rest, that's a big red flag. I had one friend like that, always saying “just one more game,” till he lost everything. Once you notice that gambling is affecting your sleep, work, or relationships, you need to pause immediately.

    If you won the lottery, what are the first three things you'd do?

    If I win the lottery, the first thing is to buy a house for my mama. She really deserves it. Secondly, I’ll invest in businesses like tech or food chain. Then I might also travel maybe to Dubai or Zanzibar just to chill.

    What are your thoughts on the ethics of gambling advertising, especially concerning vulnerable populations?

    To be honest, those gambling ads can be so manipulative. The way they flash big wins like everybody is going to hit the jackpot easily is quite associated 😅. I’ve seen people borrow money because of one flashy promo they saw online. It’s crazy. These companies are suppose to show us the risks...

    Do you believe legalized gambling ultimately benefits or harms society as a whole?

    For me, legalized gambling gets both sides. It brings jobs and revenue, but it also fuels addiction if people do not know how to control it. I have seen young boys using their school fees to bet, thinking that the jackpot will change their life overnight.

    What coping mechanisms or strategies work best for you when dealing with urges to gamble?

    To be honest, resisting the urge is not easy at all. There are nights I just feel like placing one quick bet, even when I swear I won’t 😅. What I do sometimes is distract myself like going to watch movie, play FIFA, or even sleep. I’ve also learnt to set strict limits and avoid gambling when I’m...

    What practical steps can someone take towards financial recovery after significant gambling losses?

    I’ve been there, and it's not funny at all. First thing is, stop chasing losses because that’s the biggest trap. I learnt that one after I lost double in one week trying to “recover.” These days, I cool down, review my mistakes, and rebuild my bankroll gradually .

    What healthy hobbies or distractions do you engage in beyond gambling?

    Apart from poker, I enjoy cooking and playing football. Sometimes I just wake up, blast Wizkid for the background and cook rice with plantain. That can of vibe is always interesting. There’s more to enjoy outside the tables.
