The world of social media was set ablaze after the AFCON tournament.

Few AFCON tournaments in history ever receive this level of publicity. But with Sam's performance being the driving force of the publicity, the attention of the whole football world turned to the continent of Africa and its tournament.

All the major football news channels in the world covered the event, highlighting the legendary season that Sam was already having.

Never in the history of the AFCON tournament has a player won the golden boot award and also gave the most assists, winning the golden ball award also. And yet Sam, a 20-year-old did it.

What Sam did created history, he set a continental record.

Before now, a lot of football fans already knew who Sam was by now, most especially after his crazy performances for FC Barcelona in the UEFA champions league.

The Catalan club was one of the most popular clubs in the world, and one of the most scrutinized. Playing for Barca now, more limelight now shone on Sam.

And under so many eyes, he was not crumbling under the pressure. Rather, with his mamba mentality, he thrived like an apex predator in a jungle, the jungle of elite professional football.

Even as the whole world entered a rave for the boy named Sam, catching bits and pieces of his highlights from the AFCON tournament online since not everybody watched the tournament, that was when a YouTube video dropped online.

A video that soon took the world by storm, breaking records, setting new viewership records and like records.

(Samuel Moses- Volume 2: Conquering Africa!)

Sometime ago, an encounter with Sam changed Gregory's life.

Leaving his pitiful life behind, filled with conviction and purpose, he decided to become a fulltime youtuber, creating his channel around the rising Nigerian footballer, Samuel Moses.

This decision was the best decision that Gregory ever made in his life.

The first video of his channel, Samuel Moses- Volume 1: Rising from the streets of Abraka covered Sam's rise from the suburbs of Abraka, rising all the way to Fulham, England, and then to Barcelona, Spain.

That video changed Gregory's life, exploding in popularity. But the popularity of his first video paled in comparison to what his second video got.

It was only his 2nd video in his channel.

And like usual, having informed Kayla before posting it, Kayla promoted the video on all of Sam's social media platforms, and that was where the boom came from.

BOOM!

Like an explosion, it skyrocketed.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

"…!"

Gregory could not believe his eyes.

He knew that miracles lied with Sam, he's seen, tested and proven it. But still, this miracle…, this miracle was still far beyond his expectations.

It was a very straightforward video but one that he poured his heart and soul into just like the first video that it made.

It exclusively covered Sam's journey in the AFCON tournament.

Sam was too busy in the tournament to notice, focused on bringing the trophy home but all the way from matchday 1 in the group stage, Gregory was there, having travelled to Morocco to get first hand experience of the tournament.

Going to Morocco, it was one of the best decisions of his life and career.

With first hand perspective, he watched Sam in every game, watched him perform miracles on the pitch, watched him make fool of opponents, watched him show just how superior he was to any other player on the pitch.

And then, Gregory was hit with an epiphany. 'A video!'

His eyes gleamed. 'I must make a new video… a video on the tournament!'

He made the video, working his ass off after working every Nigeria game in Morocco to compile the masterpiece video that he uploaded.

Conquering Africa took Gregory to the peak of his career.
