For Bobrisky, the excitement that surrounds the sport in Nigeria is something he cannot relate to, especially when it involves men gathering to cheer.

His statement came at a time when football was dominating national conversations following the Super Eagles’ AFCON defeat.

Many Nigerians were sharing their views on the match, but Bobrisky’s post stood out because it dismissed the sport entirely rather than focusing on the team’s loss.
