He ranked pounded yam and egusi as number one and jollof rice as number two. He closely followed it with dodo, which goes with jollof rice and then efo riro, another soup.

He raised questions when the popular Ghanaian delicacy banku and groundnut soup was displayed as fufu, even though he ranked it as his number six.

He appeared not to be a fan of meals made from beans and flour, which was reflected in how he ranked Akara, moin-moin, and chinchin way down the list.

The Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles’ X account, also celebrated the 24-year-old, sharing a picture of him in the white jersey with the caption: “Happy birthday to our own @boniface_jrn 🎈🕯🎂Have a great one Vic 🥂🥂”

The birthday boy has been a full international for over one year but has yet to score his first goal, with frustration growing amongst the fans and technical crews.
