Yes, while Nigeria was chasing goals, this brother was chasing vibes in the stands, and Nigerians noticed immediately.
On the pitch, Nigeria kicked off their AFCON 2025 campaign with a nervy but deserved victory over Tanzania in wet conditions.
The Super Eagles dominated the first half and were rewarded in the 36th minute when Semi Ajayi rose highest to nod home Alex Iwobi’s inviting cross, BBC reports.
Nigeria nearly doubled their lead before half-time, but Tanzania goalkeeper Zuberi Foba was not having it.

Tanzania later shocked Nigeria early in the second half when Charles M’Mombwa equalised, briefly silencing Nigerian fans.
That silence didn’t last long. Just two minutes later, Ademola Lookman reminded everyone why he was a conversation during the summer transfer window, unleashing a beautiful strike to restore Nigeria’s lead and secure all three points for Eric Chelle’s side, beIN Sports reports.
But while football fans were celebrating the win, social media had already shifted focus to the real “battle” happening off the pitch.
Somewhere in the stands, a Tanzanian supporter decided AFCON was also a matchmaking event.
A viral photo captured the exact moment he attempted to toast a Nigerian woman rocking a dark-green Super Eagles jersey.
The image shows the man leaning in, clearly trying to collect the lady’s number or at least spark a conversation.
Nigerians on social media spotted the scene almost instantly, and what followed was inevitable.
Within minutes, the photo was everywhere. X lit up, and the Tanzanian fan unknowingly became the main character of the night.
Nigerians react ruthlessly on social media
As expected, Nigerians wasted zero time before unleashing premium cruise and savage humour.
E-wisdom daily posted:
"He no find out why Nigerian guys no near the lady. 😆🤣. He go learn."
Celebrity Tailor added:
"If that guy was a Nigerian, she wouldn’t have given him attention."
Dan reacted:
"Na billing she go use kpai him, he go run las las."
Cloud Engineer posted:
"He has lost 100 times over on this one o. Na him bank account go first feel am."
IAMSK tweeted:

From jokes about billing to claims that he “won AFCON before the final,” Nigerians turned the moment into pure comedy gold.
