The Nigerian Nightmare raising the flag high
Kamaru Usman is boldly going where no Nigerian has gone before.
Wizkid entered the Guinness Book of World Records for his collaborative effort with Drake. Tammy Abraham turned down to play for the Three Lions of England so that he could be a Super Eagle.
Stories like these would warm your heart and make you believe in Nigeria. Moving with this theme of carrying the Nigerian flag proudly overseas, the Nigerian Nightmare otherwise known as Kamaru Usman is a man to celebrate.
The Nigerian fighter convincingly defeated his opponent in an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight. Yes, we applaud Kamaru Usman for the victory but this is not why he is the prop of the week.
