Super Eagles and Mainz 05 defender Leon Balogun has revealed his
favourite Nigerian meal and also his love for the hit song Ojuelegba done by
Nigerian music super star Wizkid.
In an interview with Omasports TV, the German-Nigerian defender
told Oma Akatugba about his love for the country he successfully helped qualify
for next year World Cup in Russia.
“Egusi is my favourite. I also like plantain”, was his response
when he was asked about his favourite meal during the course of the interview
where he also revealed he has a German girlfriend.
Balogun further said he listens to Nigerian music with Wizkid’s
Ojuelegba among his favourite tracks which also includes Tekno’s hit song Pana.
“I listen to Wizkid a lot, and I like the remix of ‘Ojuelegba ‘.
I also like pana”, he said before proceeding to singing some lines of the song
as demanded by the interviewer.
“I also like the song
Omalicha. I listen to Nigerian songs before games because they make me happy
and give me a good feeling. They give me release”, he further said.
“In the dressing room, there are Turkish and German songs, even
English songs, but they’re always very sad and slow. But the Nigerian songs
come with lots of energy. I played with Claudio Pizarro, and he always listened
to his South American music and they’re similar to the Nigerian songs. They
give a lot of energy”
