Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known by his stage name, Skales (an acronym for “Seek Knowledge Acquire Large Entrepreneurial Skills”), is a Nigerian hip-hop and R&B pop star, known for his famous hits like Shake Body, Temper, and Ijo Ayo.
Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams were all involved in Spain’s 3-3 draw against Croatia in the UEFA Nations League clash last night. Omorodion (Now called Aghehowa) was an unused substitute on the bench as La Roja sealed victory via a penalty shoot-out.

It is also worthy of note that the three Spanish stars can be traced to African roots. Lamine Yamal’s parents have roots in Morocco and Equatorial Guinea.
Nico Williams‘ parents fled Ghana while his mother was heavily pregnant with his elder brother, Inaki, while Samu Aghehowa’s parents are Nigerian although he was born in Spain.
Music has been one of Nigeria’s entertainment exports, cutting through every cultural sphere, beyond Africa. The Super Eagles’ next opponents, Zimbabwe, were seen vibing to Davido’s “If” a few days ago.
Away from acting, Skales doubles as an actor as well, making his debut in the Nollywood blockbuster movie – Seeking Justice.
