“I didn't want to provoke anyone, I did it in front of our fans. It's a TikTok trend from a big influencer in Nigeria. I promised him I would celebrate like that, I just hadn't scored yet,” he said.

The former Royal Saint Gilloise forward had an underwhelming performance for Nigeria during the international break despite starting both games.

The fans of the three-time African champions hope that their player can replicate his club form with the national team to achieve the goals alongside Victor Osimhen.
