Nathaniel Bassey Prays For Messi

Nigerian gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey, has taken to social media to pray that Argentina wins the 2022 FIFA World Cup title in Qatar.

Taking to his Twitter handle shortly after Argentina defeated Croatia in their semi-final clash on Tuesday, Bassey, who was responding to critics on social media, queried that so because he is seen as a man of God, he cannot watch football or show support for his favourite?
