    Nigeria businessman lands Sheffield United in financial trouble after charged of fraud

    Sheffield United are at risk of returning a £10 million investment made by a Nigerian businessman, Dozy Mmobuosi, who is now facing fraud allegations.

    The struggling English side have been reportedly cautioned by legal advisors that they may have to repay £8.85 million plus interest if Mmobuosi is convicted of fraud charges brought against him in the United States.

    The financial issue adds to the club’s woes as they face relegation from the Premier League

    If the Blades relegate, it will plunge them into further financial crisis, and will see them run loss of a staggering ÂŁ100 million, UK Sun Sport reports.

    Meanwhile, no trial date has been set yet for Mmobuosi, who has reportedly vanished from his lavish London home since January, following fraud charges filed against him by US authorities after an FBI investigation.

    Mmobuosi, 45, had previously expressed interest in investing in other Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace and Southampton, and was once seen as a potential saviour for Sheffield United with his proposed ÂŁ115 million takeover bid.

    While reports reveal he had reached agreements with Sheffield’s owner, Prince Abdullah, and claimed to have paid a deposit, the English Football League (EFL) sought further clarification from him and the club, leading to the breakdown of negotiations between the Prince and the Nigerian businessman.

    Wizkid: How I feel when people underestimate me

    Famous Afrobeats singer,Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun a.k.a Wizkid opens up on how he feels when people underestimate his potential.

    According to Wizkid, the underestimation he receives from others is what drives him most to pursue his desires.

    He said:

    “I love it when people underestimate me, it fuels me more than anything else in the world.”

    However, the superstar singer also mentioned in a previous interview from years ago that he enjoys proving himself to those who have reservations about his ability.

    Wizkid state;

    “Some of the tough lessons that have shaped me to be the entrepreneur I am today is never to take (no) for an answer. When I started, I was probably the youngest person making music in Nigeria. And everywhere I went, I was the youngest person in the room.

    I learnt not to accept ‘no’ for an answer and that has helped shape me into the man I am now. When I think about anything, I go for it. Of course, I have mentors such as Mr Tony Elemelu (Big Daddy), and I think everybody knows that.

    Some of the business tips I learnt is to be open-minded and I always keep my ears to the ground because one does not know where a good business idea could come from. I also try to take my time before I make decisions. I have learnt to be diligent with my work, thanks to the people I look up to.

    On the issue of being under constant pressure to prove myself, I’ll say that it actually fuels me more than anything in the world because I love it when people underestimate me. I just show you that I can do it. There is not much story behind my success, other than the fact that I personally decided that I wanted to be excellent.

    I made up my mind to be an amazing artiste. Secondly, I don’t joke with my craft. I try as much as possible to always elevate my music, sound and business. I guess if one stays amazing towards one’s work, the world would steadily gravitate towards one. It is just hard work and persistency that has helped my music.”

    Daniel Regha, however, criticized the reality star for her recent podcast, claiming that she lacks intelligence and often disrespects Edo men.

    He also accused her of lying about her age which she claimed to be 26 and according to Daniel, she must have been dating from age 14.

    “Phyna is 26 yrs old according to her BBN & Wikipedia age, but she claims to have dated a man for “12 years”. So she started dating at the age of 14? Again, using her p¤¤r decision to disrespect Edo State men in general is wrong. She’s always sounding very un!intelligent,” he wrote.
