3 Prominent Nigerian Artists Who Are Set To Perform At The 2022 FIFA World Cup In Qatar 

After four years of anxious wait, another FIFA World Cup is set to begin today, Sunday November 20, 2022. This is coming four years after the last edition of the football tournament was held in Russia and won by France.

Despite the anticipations that have greeted this year’s edition of the competition, Nigeria, which is regarded as one of the African Football Powerhouses, will be missing in action at the football fiesta scheduled to take place in Qatar.

Notwithstanding the non qualification of the Nigerian National Team, some artists from the country are billed to mesmerize fans and the entire world who will be glued to their TV sets to catch all the actions at the tournament.

Three prominent artists from the Nigerian soil who will be digging it up with their sensational tracks on the stage are Kizz Daniel, Ckay and Patoranking.

For Daniel whose real name is Oluwatobiloba Anidugbe, this is a dream come true. The ‘Cough’ singer had taken to his Twitter page months earlier to write that he wished to perform his hit song, ‘Buga’ at the tournament.

He wrote on June 22, “God, I want to perform ‘Buga’ for (sic) the World Cup with a mass choir. Help me say ‘amen’.”

A few months later, he is set to perform at the opening ceremony of the games.

Reggae-dancehall singer, Patoranking, whose name is Patrick Okorie, is scheduled to perform at the Al Bidda Park in the country’s capital, Doha, on November 28, 2022.

The ‘Girlie O’ crooner has undoubtedly carved a niche for himself with his style of music.

Born and raised in Ijegun-Egba, Lagos State, he started his entertainment career as a dancer. The singer also seems to be an ardent lover of football. He stated that he got the inspiration for one of his songs, ‘Abule’ while playing football.

Chukwuka Ifeanyi, better known as Ckay, will join his Nigerian counterparts to perform at the tournament too. In an interview with Al Jazeera, the singer stated that he was excited to be one of the artistes that would be performing at the World Cup. 

He had said: “Even though we (Nigeria) did not qualify for the World Cup; at least, there is still Nigeria representation in the area of music.

Nigerians, especially the football fans who are still nursing the injury caused by none-qualification of the Super Eagles, can therefore take solace in the performances of these sensational artists from the country.
