Gareth Bale netted a brace including an audacious overhead kick to snag the limelight off Christiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah who dominated all the pre-match headlines. After just coming on for Isco, Bale produced a sensational overhead kick in the 64th minute to put Real Madrid back in the lead.

Falz’s “This is Nigeria” Video Generates Controversy as Muslims Call Him Out for Using Girls in Hijab
Falz who describes his style of music as “Wahzup music” infused comic with the contemporary hip-hop in Yoruba accent. He is one of the most gifted rappers in Nigeria till date whose style has endeared him to lots of people. He’s a master crafter in the art. And the message in his songs is always inspirational and portrays happenings around us.
However, he has shown in his latest song that he is here to stay and would remain for a long time with the release of the video. The visuals, directed by Prodigeezy, talk about corrupt politicians who are well-known but are left by successive government to walk free with head held up high. It also presents the criminal Fulani herdsmen who are on the rampage across the country killing people like chickens without being arrested or prosecuted.
Falz’s “This is Nigeria” is not just a song but a cry for everyone to wake up and act now!.
