Can someone explain this paragraph for me
Awoniyi please don’t go to Leicester stay clear from that team, I ve my reasons.
If he goes to Leicester he’ll become a bench warmer. His career would go down. England is a vampire country, where white people use the blood of black people to improve their own.
No Nigerian footballer can prosper in EPL.
