was oblivious to the raging silent war between religion, music and sports. As he sang, a Pakistani fanatic dashed to the stage, snatched Ahmad’s Gibson Les Paul guitar from around his neck and smashed it into smithereens. Nothing happened. The fanatic could not understand Ahmad’s temerity to play rock music or music in general which Arabs potentates of the Islamic religion once referred to as “a prompting of the Devil” and an affront to Islam.
The same week, at the Brisbane Stadium in Australia, while Nigerians momentarily forgot the harrowing pain inflicted on them by their new rulers and were wrapped up in celebration of the country’s win in the women’s World Cup football event, the “prompting of the Devil” debate returned at full throttle.

My dad not happy with my shirtless celebration – Asisat OshoalaSuper Falcons skipper Asisat Oshoala has revealed her father’s reaction on how she chose to celebrate her the third goal against Australia on Thursday at the ongoing FIFA Women World Cup. The Super Falcons striker, during the enthralling encounter in Brisbane, extended Nigeria’s advantage over Australia in the second half. The Barcelona ace broke into a shirtless celebration after netting the ball in the match that ended 3-2 in favour of Nigeria. Oshoala took off her jersey leaving just her bra top on the pitch, an act which elicited diverse reactions from football spectators and the online community.
