A slight tweak in Mohammed Kudus\u2019 trademark celebrations has spurred reactions on social media, with various interpretations being ascribed to it.<\/p>\n Kudus\u2019 celebrations are often typified by sitting on the advertising panel or on a chair belonging to a steward.<\/p>\n However, in West Ham\u2019s game against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, December 21, 2024, the Ghanaian forward unleashed an improved version of the celebration after scoring the equalizer for West Ham.<\/p>\n Instead of the advertising panel or steward\u2019s seat, Kudus sat on an elephant-shaped stool, obviously made in Ghana.<\/p>\n Disclosing the reason behind the new stool, Kudus said that he was paying homage to the country as the stool is a feature of Ghanaian society.<\/p>\n The forward was also happy to have played a key role in West Ham\u2019s victory, stating that the point is a valuable one for the struggling side.<\/p>\n \u201cI am happy to score; it is very important to help the team. The stool is from Ghana. I brought it from there. A lot of people do it, so I brought it to show where I come from. The chiefs sit on a stool, so that is why I sat on it. It is also meant to showcase my country\u2019s culture,\u201d he said in his post-match interview.<\/p>\n Despite Kudus\u2019 explanation, Ghanaians on social media are reading meanings into it, with some ascribing political connotations to it.<\/p>\n Some Ghanaians believe that there is a connection between Kudus\u2019 celebration and the NPP\u2019s defeat in the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n Read some of the comments below<\/b><\/p>\n Are you trying to tell us that Kudu is NPP<\/p>\n \u2014 Mai Kudi (@MaiKudi1500) December 21, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n So like if he no score dem go Dey carry this stool go stadium like Nana Addo en chair till he scores ?
