Growing up, everyone wanted to be a Doctor, I guess that was like the most attractive/lucrative profession, later on I discovered we all wanted to be engineers; those were the days when our parents always warned us to face our books whenever we devoted time to display any talent.
Amazing how time changes things, now people want to be footballers and parents support now but the most fascinating is the recent urge for music. It is like in Nollywood if you have not released a single you haven’t attained stardom, let’s leave Tonto Dike for now because it’s already entering the sports world.
John Obi Mikel recently lunched his new Record label MMM (Matured Money Minds) who says his love for music is an emotional attachment.
The Chelsea Midfielder explains “Apart from football, music is another thing I had passion for while I was growing up in Jos. I have so much emotional attachment to music. It lifts my soul and makes me happy. The arrival of MMM Records has gone a long way to show the deep love I have for music. I want to contribute my little quota to the growth of the music industry in Nigeria. I’m a good song writer and singer. If I wasn’t a footballer, I would have done well as a singer or a disc jockey (DJ).”
Well, maybe one can understand why the soccer star snubbed 2 face when the later visited London, met with Mikel and offered a handshake, the snub will later inspired 2face to write the song ‘Only me’. If you ask me, I think his contribution will make more sense in Nigeria football development that the Nigerian Music Industry but all the same well done Mikel.
