Manchester United  have overtaken Real Madrid to become the most valuable club in Europe, despite finishing sixth in the Premier League this season, according to a study by professional services firm KPMG. The report, now it its second year, looked at the finances of the top 39 clubs in Europe based on their popularity on social media, revenues for 2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons and success in European competitions. Despite two relatively disappointing seasons on the pitch between 2014 and 2016,  United’s  value surged clear of Real Madrid and Barcelona last year, becoming the first club to break the 3billion euros (£2.7bn) mark for enterprise value.

I initially decided to ignore this revisionism but let those who know Wasiu Ayinde Marshall inform him he has failed woefully in his ungrateful efforts. Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, this for me is an End of Discussion response. Fuja ko Faaji ni! First, everyone Wasiu (Ayinde) mentioned in his Flavour album as having played Fuji before Barrister never did. We have challenged K1 to bring evidence of any recorded song by anyone before 1966 when Barrister released his first Fuji album. Up till now, neither Wasiu nor anyone else, including some of the ‘Wérè’ exponents who were Barrister’s seniors and who are still alive. NONE HAS BROUGHT ANY EVIDENCE of the existence of Fuji music before 1966. Secondly, on the modernisation and acceptance of Fuji, only the younger generations would say Wasiu modernised Fuji because his popularity and songs coincided with their own teen years and growing up. That’s what they experienced. For the older generations, Fuji shredded it’s local garb by 1976 immediately B...
