Wizkid had Bieber on the remix of his successful record ‘Essence’, which is off his 2020 album ‘Made in Lagos’.&nbsp;

Bieber’s appearance on the record has further driven the song up the <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/wizkids-essence-moves-up-to-no-9-on-billboard-hot-100/bm9v696">Billboard Hot 100 Chart</a>-the remix is currently number nine.

Speaking about the remix, Wizkid revealed that it was Bieber that reached out to him.

“He reached out to me and he loved the record. He sent the verse and it was just fire,” Wizkid told American entertainment media platform, Complex.&nbsp;

“We linked up and we performed it together. We got some more music together as well.”&nbsp;

Bieber was excited when he jumped on the remix, taking to his social media to thank Wiz for letting him be on the 'song of the summer'

He also went ahead to create his video for his verse and brought out <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/wizkid-joins-justin-bieber-on-stage-at-made-in-america-to-perform-essence/j2m21pw">Wizkid to perform the song</a> on his set at Made in America.

Wizkid has broken several records with the record ‘Essence’, which also features Nigerian singer Tems.&nbsp;

Nigerian music star Burna Boy has opined that hypocrisy is why marijuana has not been legalised in Nigeria.&nbsp;

Marijuana (also called weed, skunk or Igbo) is still illegal in Nigeria, although it hasn't stopped its widespread use.&nbsp;

A 2018 report by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) revealed marijuana to be the most consumed 'drug' in Nigeria, being consumed by an estimated 10.8% of the population.&nbsp;

During a conversation about it in an interview with Home Grown Radio in Los Angeles, Burna Boy said he believes that hypocrisy is the reason it has not been legalised in Nigeria.&nbsp;

"It's not a zero tolerance. It's like everybody does it, but no one wants to be the one that is seen with it. It's just kind of hypocritical out there. Everybody smokes weed," Burna Boy said.&nbsp;

The Grammy award-winning singer also said that misconception around the drug is another reason why it has not been legalised.&nbsp;

"It's like some dumb shit, bro. You know those old shit when they talk about it frying your brains. They try to make it seem like if you smoke it, you will go mad," the singer said.&nbsp;

"Right now, everybody is relaxed, everybody does it, and everybody knows that. It's just a topic no one wants to talk about.&nbsp;

"No one wants to talk about it; everybody is cool. Nobody wants to make it a thing."&nbsp;

Asked if people get arrested for possession of marijuana in Nigeria, the 30-year-old singer says it depends on who you are.&nbsp;

"If you can please the person that is stopping you at a time," he added.&nbsp;

Burna Boy, in the interview, also said he likes coming to Los Angeles because weed is free in the state and that the best one he has had was in the city.

Burna Boys says everyone smokes weed in Nigeria.

<a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/wizkid-features-justin-bieber-on-essence-remix-with-made-in-lagos-deluxe-set-to-land/vsyb6s5">Wizkid and Bieber recently collaborated on the remix</a> of the record and the two performed it for the first time on stage at the Made in America music festival in Philadelphia.

<h1>The news that 12 of Europe's biggest clubs have planned to launch a breakaway European Super League (ESL) has triggered a storm in the football world.&nbsp;</h1>

As confirmed by the found clubs in a joint statement, AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have agreed to launch the ESL to replace the Champions League.&nbsp;

<h2>So what would this competition look like</h2>

According to the promoters, the ESL would operate in the form of a regular-season between 20 clubs.

The 12 clubs and plus three unnamed clubs that are expected to join the founding teams soon, would be the 15 clubs that would automatically qualify each year and the other five would be drawn from invitations through a system based on their performance from the previous season in the domestic leagues.&nbsp;

At the end of this first phase starting in August, end of season play-offs would be organised until May to award the trophy.

Games will be staged in midweek, and the club would be split into two groups of 10 that would play each other home and away.&nbsp;

The top three from each group would progress to the quarterfinals, which means there would be no round-of-16.&nbsp;

They would be a two-leg knockout before a single-leg final in May at a neutral venue from the quarterfinals stage.&nbsp;

The founding clubs say they are doing it because of money that would results in greater revenue distribution throughout the game.&nbsp;

They believe that football would be more sustainable for the long-term with the revenue generated from the ESL.&nbsp;

&nbsp;The founding clubs will receive a one-time payment of the order of 3.5 billion euros.

This represents a more significant revenue than currently generated by UEFA for all of its club competitions -- Champions League, Europa League and European Super Cup -- which generated 3.2 billion euros in TV revenue in 2018-2019.

The founding clubs say the global pandemic has "accelerated the instability in the existing European football economic model" and as such, they want the money from the ESL.&nbsp;

"In recent months, extensive dialogue has taken place with football stakeholders regarding the future format of European competitions," they said in the statement.&nbsp;

"The founding clubs believe the solutions proposed following these talks do not solve fundamental issues, including the need to provide higher-quality matches and additional financial resources for the overall football pyramid."

UEFA worked to reform their elite club competition, the Champions League and had just announced their plans to expand it from 32 teams to 36. That would be a minimum of 10 games for each team.&nbsp;

But the 12 founding clubs do not believe in that reform.&nbsp;

News of the ESL has triggered a seismic reaction from the football world. There have been wild spread criticisms of the concept.&nbsp;

The Super League said they hoped to work with UEFA and FIFA to avoid a civil war in the sport. Still, <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/sports/football/european-super-league-whos-saying-what/exbs4pp">the governing bodies </a>and the respective football associations in Europe have all threatened to ban all the clubs and players that partake in the ESL.

<h1>Mali on Sunday, February 17 beat Senegal on penalties in the final of the 2019 U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to win their first title. </h1>

After beating Nigeria to get their first U20 AFCON final, Mali took a step further by clinching the title after a nervy final played in Niamey.

Mali win their first U20 AFCON title (CAF)

The final got to penalties after the game and extra-time ended at 1-1. It was Mali that scored first before Senegal equalised to force the game to extra time and then penalties.

Mali took the lead in the 15th minute through Mamoutou Kane who hammered home Hadji Drame’s pass.

That was the first time Senegal were going behind at the 2019 AFCON and they fought back through FC Metz forward Amadou Ndiaye who volleyed in from close range.

The game was forced into extra time but both teams couldn’t get another goal.

In the penalty shoot-out, Senegal missed their first spot-kick which hit the post while the Malians converted their next three consecutively.

Amadou Ndiaye scored to bring Senegal back to the game (CAF)

The tournament's leading goalscorer Amadou Ndiaye later missed for Senegal before teammate Ousseynou Niang also missed to secure Mali the title.

This was revenge for Mali who had been beaten 2-0 by Senegal earlier in the group stage of the tournament.

It was also a third successive final loss for Senegal in this tournament but they can take solace in the fact that they had earlier qualified for the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup courtesy of their place in the semifinals.

Nigeria who finish fourth, South Africa who grabbed brace and winners Mali are the other African representatives at the World Cup.

Ndiaye of Senegal finished as the highest goalscorer of the tournament while teammate Moussa Ndiaye was named Player of the Tournament.

This was revenge for Mali who had been beaten 2-0 by Senegal earlier in the group stage of the tournament.

<h1>The Super Eagles of Nigeria ran out 2-1 winners in the shitshow of a friendly game against Liberia that had 51-year-old</h1>

Henry Onyekuru and Simy Nwankwo gave <a href="https://sja.sportradar.com/w/Pulse/4785-48238/020100" id="e3f83dd4-c069-5825-a540-7da121834e71">Nigeria</a>a 2-0 lead before halftime but Kpah Sherman reduced the deficit from the penalty spot late in the second half.

<a href="https://www.pulse.ng/sports/football/super-eagles-to-play-liberia-saudi-arabia-friendly-cancelled-id8822356.html" id="b4c5d145-5890-59f1-a24b-b345b1902d0d">The game was billed to celebrate Weah</a> and formally retire the No.14 jersey of the former Liberia international, Ballon d'Or Winner and FIFA World Footballer of the Year in 1995.

President Weah led out the Liberian team at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complete in Monrovia.

Despite the fanfare, the Super Eagles meant business and dominated proceedings from kick off.

With the captain’s armband, John Ogu who was deployed as a central defence alongside Semi Ajayi watched Weah closely.

It took Onyekuru only 12 minutes to open the scoring, turning three defenders at the edge of the box before firing into the top corner.

The Super Eagles had most of the possession and just before the end of the first half, they doubled their lead through Nwankwo who rose the highest to head in a cross from Oghenekaro Etebo.

The Lone Stars of Liberia were better in the second half as Weah impressed with a couple of touches, drawing huge cheers from the home crowd.

He tried creating chances for Liberia and went very close from a freekick in the first half. He sent a fine pass to send Sherman through on goal but the referee correctly called for offside also in the first half as he tried to summon the deftness of his playing days.

He was able to play for over 75 minutes before he was substituted.

After his withdrawal, the Liberians kept coming at the Super Eagles and were rewarded with a penalty in the 89th minute.

Sherman stepped up to blast the ball past substitute goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi to score for Liberia.

Former Liberia international and current coach of the national team, 48-year-old James Debbah also started the game alongside Weah.

The game was billed to celebrate Weah and formally retire the No.14 jersey of the former Liberia international.

Every month, come up with the Nigerian Players Power Ranking where we rank the top 50 Nigerian players of the month.

The monthly piece is done to recognise the performances of Nigerian players all over the world.

The best Nigerian player at the moment despite little club actions. Ahmed Musa was Super Eagles bright spot at the <a href="https://sja.sportradar.com/w/Pulse/139502-48238-4785/030100" id="0fb7cf73-d600-5c2b-826c-2f7a7872fd4e">2018 FIFA World Cup</a>, providing the most memorable moment of 2018 in Nigerian football with his brace against Iceland.

His performance at the World Cup earned him a big-money move to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr where he also started with a bang, netting on his debut.

For the Super Eagles on Saturday, September 8, the 25-year-old continued from where he stopped at the World Cup and was Nigeria’s best player again in their 3-0 win over Seychelles in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.

Since his move to Leicester City from Belgian club Genk in 2017, Wilfred Ndidi has been the most consistent Nigerian player.

His performances have seen him become one of the top midfielders in the Premier League. He put in a decent performance at the World Cup and has been ever-present in the Leicester City starting lineup this season.

After bouncing back from an injury that halted his progress, Henry Onyekuru is clearly on course to hit the form that saw him become one of the most exciting young talents in Europe in 2016/2017.

Since joining Galatasaray on a loan move from Everton, Onyekuru has managed two goals in four league games for the Turkish giants and has gotten a recall back to the Super Eagles.

Despite a disappointing World Cup campaign, Odion Ighalo has continued to be one of Nigeria’s best players in the last month.

He was made the scapegoat for Nigeria’s exit at the World Cup after missing some decent chances in the 1-2 loss to Argentina. But on <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/sports/football/nigerian-players-watch-ighalo-simi-ndidi-moses-id8322548.html" id="69b823d9-051b-54a9-935e-eab59ea39b1b">return to his club Changchun Yatai</a>in China, the striker has continued to bang in goals at the Chinese Super League (CSL).

Since he returned from the World Cup, the 29-year-old has scored nine league goals in 10 CSL games for Changchun Yatai.

Leon Balogun has had a great start in the Premier League with Brighton. He made his league debut for the Seagulls in their 3-2 win over Manchester United and also played 90 minutes and held his own against the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane when they lost 0-1 away to Liverpool.

Balogun led the Super Eagles defence in the 3-0 win over Seychelles in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.

The Nigerian defender had a good month too, taking to the Serie A like a duck to water after his move from Turkish club Bursaspor to Udinese.

He started the season with a bang, scoring in Bursaspor 1-2 loss away to Fenerbahce in the opening week of the 2018/2019 Turkish Super Lig season. The next week, he was lining up for Udinese in the Serie A after signing for the Italian club.

Since then he has continued to impress at the back for Julio Velázquez-led side.

7. Emmanuel Bonaventure (Club Brugge)

Since the start of the 2018/2019 Belgian Pro League season, unknown Nigerian striker Emmanuel Bonaventure has been very impressive for Club Brugge.

In August, the 20-year-old scored in two consecutive games for Club Brugge. He netted in Club Brugge’s 5-3 win away at Zulte Waregem and before that, in their 2-1 win over Anderlecht.

John Ogu has been one of the best Nigerian midfielders in recent years. In the last one month, he has continued to be solid for Hapoel Be’er Sheva. This season, he has played in the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers and remains one of the important players at the club.

Nigerian midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has gradually gotten into form since the beginning of the current season and has been consistent fo far for Trabzonspor in Turkey. Just before the international break, Onazi scored in Trabzonspor’s 4-0 win over Galatasaray.

After a disappointing World Cup, Iwobi has started the season well with <a href="https://sja.sportradar.com/w/Pulse/352770-54571-42/030100" id="a315a858-ecfa-531b-aac5-c322bf961fc9">Arsenal </a>having been given a new contract as a sign of the faith shown on him by Unai Emery.

He was impressive for Arsenal in their 2-3 loss at Chelsea where he scored a goal and assisted another.

11. Anthony Nwakaeme (Trabzonspor)

Nigerian striker Anthony Nwakaeme has had a fine start to life in Turkey with Trabzonspor helping them a huge 4-0 win over giants Galatasaray with a brace. Before his move to Turkey, he scored for  Hapoel Be’er Sheva in a Europa League qualifier.

Very unknown in Nigeria and playing in the obscure the division two in Croatia, there is, however, no question to how good Iyayi Atiemwen has been in the past month. He has had three goals from six starts.

Former Plateau United forward has been in good form for AS Trencin. He has made four appearances in the Slovak Super Liga but it is in the Europa League that he has been more impressive, his brace in the 4-0 thrashing of Feyenoord.

14. Ebere Eze (Queens Park-Rangers)

Nigerian forward Ebere Eze has been consistent so far this season with Queens Park-Rangers. The 20-year-old forward has played in all QPR’s games this season and managed a goal.

Samuel Kalu is gradually adapted to his new club after his move from Belgian side Gent to Ligue 1 club Bordeaux.

The attacking midfielder has managed to catch the eye in his three appearances for Bordeaux, earning himself a first-time call-up to the Super Eagles. He made his Super Eagles debut in the 3-0 win over Seychelles where he was one of Nigeria’s best players.

Nigerian defender Efe Ambrose has been very consistent for Hibernian since the start of the season. He has also scored two goals in the Europa League for the Scottish side.

It has taken Oghenekaro Etebo a little time to settle at his new club Stoke City but the Nigerian midfield has managed to put together some solid performance for the Potters.

Nigerian defender Semi Ajayi has been very solid for Rotherham in the English Championship so far this season. Due to injuries, Ajayi has been made to play the defensive midfield role where he has also impressed. He also got a first-time call-up to the Super Eagles ahead of the game against Seychelles.

19. Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City)

Kelechi Iheanacho scored a couple of goals for Leicester City during pre-season but the Nigerian forward has struggled since the season started. However, he has managed to make a couple of appearances and had an assist in a recent 1-2 loss to Liverpool.

Taiwo Awoniyi has been very consistent for Gent so far this season, playing in all of their seven games so far this season. Although he has scored just a goal, the contributions of the former Flying Eagles cannot be overlooked.

The monthly piece is done to recognise the performances of Nigerian players all over the world.

Top 50 Nigerian players of August 2018

The FIFPRO on Monday, September 9 released the 55-man shortlist for the 2018 World XI with five goalkeepers, 20 defenders, 15 midfielders and 15 forwards all shortlisted.

From the 55 players shortlisted, only two African players Mane and Salah both of Liverpool were included.

<a href="https://sja.sportradar.com/w/Pulse/217704-54571-44/030100" id="e46efefa-4d9a-5e99-9d74-6eb71d34b308">Mane</a>and Salah are part of the electric forward line-up of Liverpool that got to the final of the Champions League in May.

The 26-year-old scored 27 goals in total for Liverpool but couldn’t stir Senegal to the second round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

It was an incredible year for <a href="https://sja.sportradar.com/w/Pulse/159665-54533-44/030100" id="5725d83e-ea38-5414-944e-0421767e66ec">Salah</a>who scored 44 goals for Liverpool last season in a remarkable debut campaign for the  Egyptian at Anfield.

The 26-year-old forward, however, failed to replicate that form for Egypt at the World Cup in Russia partly due to an arm injury he suffered during the Champions League final against Real Madrid in May.

The Egypt international has already made the final nominees for the UEFA Player of the year and FIFA’s The Best Player of the Year awards.

Last year, <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/sports/football/moses-aubameyang-salah-bailly-ke-ta-snubbed-for-fifpro-id7352285.html" id="4ecc3e53-7800-51ba-85c3-6a1758634842">no African player made the 55-man shortlist</a> for the FIFPRO XI.
