See his quotes


·         Fashion is bigger than football? That is like saying Nigeria is bigger that the United States of America.
·         Football has been around for decades, people just started paying attention to fashion.
·         Football unites everybody, there is no sentiment when it comes to football
·         Mention football to people living in Sokoto or even in the village, everyone can identify with it.
·         Who knows lanre Da Silva? But everyone know Okocha, Kanu and the big footballers
·         It is not what Ronaldo puts on that makes people pay attention to him, it is what goes on the field for 90mins that makes people respect him.
·         It will take decades for fashion to meet football


Join the conversation, pick a side: #GoFashion versus #GoFootball
