Football has been my favorite sport since i was growing up. I regularly go play football every saturdays and sundays with other veterans clubs. I like to follow Champion and Euro League especially when Paris Saint Germain is playing were we have Lionel Messy, Killa Mbappe and Neymar.
I also like listening to music especially when i feel so bored and lonely. I often play music like Westlife, Boyz 2 men, Micheal Jackson etc..
Reading novels has always been part of me. I like novels like ; Beautiful ones are not yet born by Kwei Armah, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and many others.
