Legendary Goalkeeper Emmanuel Okala Laments Super Eagles' Missing Back-to-Back World Cups as He Turns 75
Emmanuel Okala has expressed disappointment over the Super Eagles missing two consecutive FIFA World Cups, calling it “not good for the nation” during his 75th birthday reflections. The legendary “Man Mountain” also noted he had not received official recognition from the Nigeria Football Federation despite his historic contributions to Nigerian football.
Veteran Nigerian rapper and songwriter Panshak Henry Zamani, widely known as Ice Prince, has revealed his long-term future intentions outside the music industry, stating plans to pursue higher education and transition into agriculture, Leadership reports.
The "Oleku" hitmaker, who has been a prominent and highly recognized figure in the Nigerian hip-hop and Afrobeats scene since his breakout era, opened up about what lies ahead as his personal goals evolve. Reflecting on his journey and looking toward the next phase of his life, Ice Prince explicitly outlined a timeline for stepping away from the microphone to focus on family and alternative career paths.
"I'll go to university, become a farmer at 40," Zamani stated.
The candid disclosure comes on the heels of the rapper opening up about his past professional challenges, including a recent admission where he stated he "failed as a record label boss." Moving forward, the multi-award-winning artist appears set on trading the recording studio for the lecture hall and the agricultural sector, embracing a more disciplined, grounded lifestyle as he approaches his next decade.
