Nigerian artist Seun Kuti related a personal account of his prior encounter with Nigerian football players following their draw with Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the national team\u2019s opening game at the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast ended in a 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea.<\/p>\n

According to the saxophonist, there was an occasion when he witnessed the Super Eagle players going through their pre-game routines.<\/p>\n

He recounted a specific event from a previous AFCON that happened in Ghana, where he witnessed Nigerian players eating balls of fufu and pounding yam just before they were supposed to play.<\/p>\n

He went on to argue that the majority of players who participate in the AFCON do so at their employers\u2019 (the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF) invitation.<\/p>\n

He recognised a few prominent African players who are doing well for their teams in his video.<\/p>\n
