Super Eagles defender, Leon Balogun, has revealed that ‘Manya’ by Wizkid is his favourite Nigerian tune of the moment.

When asked by OmasportsTV about his best Nigerian act, the 29-year-old said: “It depends, it always depends on the song.

“For example, right now I listen to Mr Eazi a lot but right now, the African tune that I listen to, like my song of the month is Manya by Wizkid.”

Off the pitch, Balogun has shown to be an ardent fan of good music.

However, like many other Nigerians, he wasn’t ready to pick between Wizkid and Davido.

He added: “But there was also a time I listen to Tekno a lot. I don’t really have one I can say is the best, whether it is Tekno, Wizkid, Davido, RunTown, they are all amazing.”

On the pitch, Balogun has struggled with various kinds of injuries this term.

This has limited the Nigerian to just seven appearances for Mainz in the Bundesliga.

Nigerians, however, will be hoping he remains fit, especially as the 2018 FIFA World Cup approaches.
