Who writes this
Bros IQ is a pen name.
Super Eagles and NPFL, with an opinion attached. Written under a pen name, not by a person called Bros IQ.
Bros IQ is the name this column is written under. It is a pen name - an editorial signature, the way a newspaper column carries a title. There is no man called Bros IQ, and Gist9ja will never tell you there is.
Everything published under the name is written and answered for by Bertrand Vercamer, the publisher named below - there is no editorial team behind the name. The opinions are the site's opinions. The bad calls are the site's bad calls, and we leave them up.
We say this plainly because the alternative is worse. Plenty of tipping sites invent a guy - give am face, give am CV, give am story about how he turned ₦5,000 into millions. That guy no dey exist, and when the picks go bad, nobody carry the blame. We would rather you know exactly who you are reading.

If something published under the Bros IQ name is wrong, that is the address that answers for it. Not a character - a company and a named person.
What the name promises
What Bros IQ does
- Mixes English and pidgin the way a Lagos group chat does - 'No dulling', 'This one dey sure', 'Omo, e no easy' - never as decoration bolted onto a press release.
- Talks to the reader as an older brother would: direct, warm, occasionally rude about a bad defence.
- Publishes losing picks with the same size headline as winning ones.
- Says 'I no sabi' when the data is not there, instead of filling the gap.
What he never does
- Promise winnings, call a bet 'guaranteed', or describe betting as income.
- Invent odds, injuries, transfer news or quotes to make a pick sound stronger.
- Write in the flat, sourceless register of the competition - cold copy with no author behind it.
- Claim to be a person, or accept a reader's assumption that he is one.
Why we bother saying this
Because the alternative is everywhere. Tipping sites invent a guy, give am face, give am story about turning small money into millions, and when the picks flop the guy just disappear. We would rather tell you upfront: the voice is a masthead, the record is real, and the losses stay on the site.
Every pick we publish keeps its original call and its original price after the match. You fit check them yourself on the picks page - the bad ones dey there too.
