Renowned singer, songwriter, and music producer, Timi Dakolo, has described himself as a “church boy”, who hardly misses Sunday service.He stated this at a press briefing about the “Jesus+Nothing” concert organised by Love of God in Christ Church in Lagos on Friday.

“I am a member of this church. This is my father’s house. Sometimes I wonder why I am like this. I will explain it in one phrase. When the Prodigal Son was coming home, did he ask him five steps? Did he even tell you about Faith before you saw your father? It is my father’s house. I have always been a church boy. “I have always loved Jesus. I have always praised him. I have always wanted to know more about God. You will never catch me anywhere on Sunday morning if not in God’s house, because we know where we are coming from,” the 2007 Idols West Africa winner emphasised.

Arsenal have survived the loss of both Havertz and Gabriel Jesus to make the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2009 with a famous 5-1 aggregate victory over Real Madrid.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said being forced to watch the Champions League latter stages from his sofa instead of the touchline is providing motivation to qualify for the competition next season.City bowed out at the play-off round to Real Madrid in February — failing to reach the last 16 for the first time since the 2012-2013 season.

It was also the first time in Guardiola’s managerial career that he failed to reach the last 16, but he has enjoyed the spectacle this week as Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Inter Milan booked their places in the last four.“They’ve been good games,” said Guardiola on Friday. “It’s a motivation. It’s not a bad thing to fight to qualify for the Champions League. Hopefully next season we can be there with the big clubs in Europe and challenge them better than what we have this season.”
