Popular Nigerian Juju musician, Oluwashina Akanbi Peters popularly known as Sir Shina Peters, has spoken candidly about his private life, revealing that he had his first child at the age of 14.

In a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the Afrojuju crooner explained that he started his career at the age of 10 and achieved success very early.

“I started my career at the age of 10. I had my first child at 14. I bought my first car at 13. I built my first house at 16,” he said.

The 67-year-old, however, shut down the possibility of him making a comeback to the music industry, stressing that the environment is no longer “conducive” for him to record anymore.

Sir Shina Peters noted that his fans cuts across ethnic groups, claiming that he has more Igbo fans than Yoruba fans.

“65 per cent of my fans are Igbos, not Yorubas. My fans are demanding that I give them new music but I don’t just go to the studio. I can’t go to the studio, the atmosphere is not conducive for me. I don’t know what to sing,” the music legend added.

Femi Azeez has declared his ambition to reach the Premier League after marking his Super Eagles debut with two goals against Zimbabwe in Nigeria’s 2-0 Unity Cup semi-final victory, a performance that made him the first Nigerian debutant to score twice for the senior team in 55 years, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The 24-year-old Millwall forward, who arrived at the tournament on the back of a 19-goal-contribution season across 35 Championship appearances, has quickly identified the international stage as the springboard to the next phase of his career.

“I had a good season in the Championship and obviously, to do it on the international stage as well was just that next step up,” Azeez told Sky Sports.

“Whenever I achieve something, I’m always hungry for more. I’m never satisfied with what I’ve got. I’m always going to work towards that next level because I’m ambitious as a footballer and as a person, and I want to reach as high a level as possible.”

The winger was direct about his top-flight ambitions, saying, “The Premier League is obviously the pinnacle of football. I’d love to play in the Premier League. So obviously, working hard, I’m going to do whatever I can to get there.”

Azeez arrived in the Eagles squad having already had a strong domestic season, earning a place in the Championship Team of the Season despite Millwall narrowly missing out on automatic promotion and falling to Hull City in the play-offs. His debut brace at The Valley, Charlton’s ground in London, only sharpened a hunger that was already well established.
