Nigerian Gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey is praying Lionel Messi wins the world cup. In his tweet, he stated, “Father, Please give Him the World Cup and silence His mockers …😌.

Stating the reason for his prayers, he said “So because I want my favourite player to win the World Cup, I don’t pray for Nigeria Abi? Schm. Is it today you found out I’m a huge Messi fan. So being a man of God means I can’t watch football as one of my hobbies. 😌😏.”
