A kaduna based radio presenter, Mohammed Suleman, who is also known as Mowiz, claims he broke the transfer updates of top Nigerian footballers plying their trade overseas faster than any other Journalist in the world. His assertion came after he was vilified by football fans following his comments on Fabrizio Romano’s post.
The Kaduna based Sport presenter who is widely known in Kaduna State as the best sports presenter in the state by his fans reposted Fabrizio Romano’s post on Arsenal’s linkage to Ivan Fresnada in Valladolid with a capture in African parlance “This news has been on for three days but na now my gee want to tap in” with a smile emoji attached.
Mowiz was slammed by fans for indicting Fabrizio Romano for plagiarism. They described him as having been hating and envious of the Italian football transfer Journalist Fabrizio Romano, who is regarded as the best football transfer journalist in the World.
With umpteen condemnation by football enthusiasts who have credence and think highly of Fabrizio Romano’s reliability, Mowiz made a post accusing his critics of being ignorant. In his post, he first explained what he meant by the phrase “Tap in”
On his social media account, he said: “I used the word tap in on Fabrizio and a lot of people commented, taking it as an insult. The problem I see is the decadence in our educational sector, producing too many educated illiterates.
Social Media coupled with free mode to access it has left most of us at the mercy of those who can’t comprehend.
For starters. Tap-in is not an insult, it means finishing what someone else started and taking the credit for it because of your image, which is something bigger than the owner of the move.
I can’t teach you everything. If I had accused Fabrizio of plagiarism, then it’s a different thing entirely, but I didn’t, and I will never.”
Furthermore, the local presenter with Kaduna State Radio station made a list of 10 top Nigerian footballers he broke first their transfer update faster than any other journalist in the world.
“Finally, those asking which transfer news did I break ahead of everyone. Let’s count a few.
Osimhen to Napoli
Chukwueze to Villarreal
Simon To Levante/Nantes
Sadiq Umar to Almeria/ Real Sociedad
Leon Balogun to Rangers
Ekong to Salernitana
Awaziem to Leganese/Boavista
Ejuke to CSKA Moscow
Zaidu Sanusi to FC Porto
Bonke the Lorient
Most of you don’t know what I do that has earned me respect nationally. So I no blame una.”

Most Football fans have never developed a reason to doubt Fabrizio Romano, even at his most recent controversial moment when he confirmed the deal of Marc Cucurella to Chelsea as a done deal but was countered by Brighton who rebuffed his claims to be untrue, Fabrizio stood by his words and loyal fans stood by him. The transfer guru was proven right a few hours when Chelsea confirmed the deal to be a done one.
