Adeyemi went straight to his senior brother after the win against Atletico Madrid last night.
The dap on the chest before leaving, you can tell they bond well at home. 🥹❤️

This is ABDULLAHI, a professional air conditioner (AC) and refrigerator technician!
I gave him ₦12,000 to buy a compressor and install it in my AC. He took the unit for repairs, fixed it, and returned it to me along with my ₦12,000.
He explained that the compressor wasn't completely faulty; it only had a minor issue with the relay, which cost just ₦500 to fix.
Abdullahi could have easily told me he bought and installed a new compressor, and I would never have known the difference. But he chose to be honest.
Honestly, if I were in his position, I don't know if I would have had the courage to make the same decision if faced with such a temptation.

33 DAYS BEFORE 33
DAY 32/33
MY GUY, JOEBOY
I’ve known @Joeboy since 2019, although we didn’t become friends until 2020.
I remember the first time I noticed him. He had just started making waves with Baby, and I came across the visualiser for the song. I loved it. I remember going to Basement Gig that same year to watch him perform, and eventually meeting him at Moremi Hall during my Fierce tour. We exchanged contacts, but we didn’t really keep in touch or speak much after that.
Fast forward to 2020. I went into the Big Brother house, and one of the biggest songs at the time was Nobody. When I came out of the house after winning the show, I reached out to DJ Neptune because I wanted to jump on the remix. We made it happen, and that was how Joeboy and I started spending more time together.
I remember the day of the music video shoot. I think it was around October, about a month after I had left the house. He asked me how I was doing, and I said I was good. But he looked at me and asked again.
He said something along the lines of, “No, you just went into the house and came out with all this fanfare and everything. Genuinely, how are you?”
That question made me pause. He was the first person who had taken the time to ask me that, genuinely, beyond all the excitement of coming out of the house and winning the show. I don’t think he even realised how much that moment meant to me.
Not long after that, I was travelling to Abuja and bumped into him in the plane. Crazily enough, we were both going for the same show and had been booked into the same hotel. He sat beside me, and from then on, we started going to different shows together, especially because of the Nobody remix.
And somewhere along the line, Joeboy became my guy.
And when I say my guy, I don’t mean someone I just exchange pleasantries with whenever we run into each other. He’s someone I genuinely consider a brother. We think alike in many ways, and I find a lot of the values I hold dear in him. I’d like to believe he sees some of those same things in me too.
We’ve been riding with each other since 2020, and six years later, that friendship means a lot to me.
He’s someone who shows up for me. Someone who prays for me. Someone who genuinely wants to see me do well. He even gave me a song, Night and Day, and that song holds a special place in my heart because of what it represents and the thought behind it.
And I try my best to show up for him too. That’s what friendship means to me. Being there for each other, celebrating each other’s wins and genuinely wanting the best for one another.
I’m grateful to have him in my corner, and I’m happy that what started as two artists crossing paths has grown into a friendship and brotherhood I cherish.
Big shout-out to my guy, Joeboy. I appreciate you, brother. More life, more wins and more beautiful moments ahead.
And to everyone reading this, Joeboy just released a new song called Pretty Girls. Go check it out. You already know!

33 DAYS BEFORE 33
Day 26/33
Neo and Vee
When people talk about my Big Brother experience, they usually remember the drama, the entertainment, the friendships and, of course, the fact that I won. But there are some people who made that experience a lot easier for me, especially during moments when I wasn’t in the best place emotionally. @NeoAkpofure and @veeiye are two of those people.
I met both of them in the Big Brother house, and during my time there, I went through a difficult emotional period involving someone I genuinely liked. Things didn’t quite go the way I hoped, misunderstandings happened, and I found myself in a place where I wasn’t emotionally settled. Neo and Vee stood by me through that period. They supported me, stayed close and helped me get through it. They were there for me when I needed people around me, and I’ll never forget that.
But what makes these friendships even more special to me is that they didn’t end when we left the house.
Vee is an artist, and we’ve gone on to create music together. We even shot a music video for one of her songs. Neo has also continued to show up for me. He came through for my music video, attended my concert and even joined me on stage. These are people who have continued to show up in different chapters of my life.
And here’s the thing: Neo and Vee were together in the house, and they continued their relationship outside the house for a while. Today, they’re no longer together, but my individual relationships with both of them remain. I still visit Neo, I still speak with Vee, and we still show up for one another.
It’s been about six years since we met, and I still love these two people dearly. I’m grateful that Big Brother didn’t just give me an opportunity to change my life; it also brought people into my life whom I genuinely want to keep around.
So today, I’m dedicating this moment to Neo and Vee. Thank you for standing by me when I needed it, for the memories we’ve created and, most importantly, for the friendship we’ve continued to build beyond that house.
I love you both. Always.

Ian Wright grew up in South London without his dad, who walked out when he was 18 months old. The man who replaced him was a heavy drinker and gambler who regularly mistreated Wright and his mum.
“He was a nasty piece of work.”
There wasn't much warmth from his mum either, and he grew up feeling unwanted under his own roof.
“I was watching other people in households getting love, but I wasn’t getting anything.”
He couldn't remember ever being hugged as a kid, and the anger from that stayed with him for years. What he never got his head around was how someone could walk into a family and treat another person's child like that.
“And I could not understand, even with having nothing, how somebody could come in and treat a child like my stepdad treated me.”
It never left him.
In 1982, aged just 19, Wright got together with a young woman called Sharon, who already had a little boy, Shaun, nearly three. Wright had no professional contract and no real direction, but his mind was made up about Shaun.
“I was 19, didn’t have a job, and no means, but I took him on because it was the right thing to do.”
He adopted Shaun and raised him, despite barely having enough to look after himself.
“I never thought twice about it.”
“He was a lovely kid.”
He'd spent years at trials, getting knocked back time after time, and he'd been getting into trouble off the pitch too. That same year, 1982, he was sent to Chelmsford Prison for two weeks over unpaid driving fines.
“So there I am, 19 years old, with a young son at home.”
He'd never been through anything like it.
“My life has never gotten lower than that.”
Once he was out, he decided things had to change, starting with giving up on becoming a professional footballer. He learned bricklaying, then plastering, and eventually got maintenance work at Tunnel Refineries in Greenwich. By then he and Sharon had another boy, Bradley. Weekend football carried on, but providing for Shaun and Bradley came first.
“I’m going to just work hard and try and help my boys.”
He wanted them to have the childhood he never had.
“I didn’t want any of my kids to not be loved, like how I felt.”
And for Shaun especially, having a stepdad was never going to mean living through what he had.
“When I started going out with his mum, I knew I wanted to treat him like my son.”
“He is my son.”
Football found him again when Crystal Palace offered a trial in 1985. From there it was Arsenal, where he became the club's record goalscorer, and then England.
Shaun was carving out his own path too. Released by Nottingham Forest as a youngster, he joined Manchester City and worked up through the youth sides into the first team. By November 2000 he was playing Premier League football for City, with Wright watching from the stands.
“I’m very proud of him.”
In March 2004, Shaun got his first senior England call-up for a friendly against Sweden.
“As a dad I am so proud.”
“He’s done it all of his own back.”
He went on to play for Chelsea, came back to Manchester City and went to the 2010 World Cup with England, finishing on 36 caps. Years on, Wright still talks about him with the same pride.
“It chokes me when I think how he’s grown up and succeeded.”
He got none of the love he needed as a kid and made sure Shaun never went without it. That's what being a dad looks like.
