Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Remmy Njoku has reached out to her fans and followers for assistance ahead of the 2023 AFCON final, where Nigeria’s Super Eagles will face Cote D’Ivoire for the championship title.
In a social media post, Mary solicited help in acquiring Asoebi for her family to wear during the final match, expressing her enthusiasm for supporting the Super Eagles. Additionally, she sought recommendations for purchasing original jerseys to further show her support for the national team.
The excitement surrounding Nigeria’s journey to the AFCON final was palpable, with widespread jubilation following the Super Eagles’ victory over South Africa in the semi-final. Nollywood actor turned clergyman Pastor Jimmy Odukoya joined in the celebrations, offering a humorous tribute to South Africa with a remix of their popular song “Water,” acknowledging their efforts while celebrating Nigeria’s triumph.
Celebrities such as Deyemi Okanlawon, Juliana Olayode, Omowunmi Dada, and Uche Jombo showed their support for Pastor Jimmy’s creative tribute. Singer Kizz Daniel even pledged to fly a fan to the UK following the Super Eagles’ win, fulfilling a promise made on social media in response to a fan’s request.
However, amidst the celebrations, some experienced unexpected mishaps. Actress Eve Esin shared a screenshot of her injured leg sustained while celebrating Nigeria’s victory, humorously attributing the injury to running away from the tension of a penalty kick awarded to South Africa during the match.
Despite the ups and downs, the collective pride and joy of supporting the Super Eagles united Nigerians across various platforms, reinforcing the spirit of camaraderie and national pride in the face of sporting triumphs.
