Nigerian singer Teniola Apata, commonly known as Teni, has called upon the Super Eagles to give their all as they prepare to confront South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in the semi-finals of the ongoing African Cup of Nations, AFCON, scheduled for Wednesday.
She passionately urged star forward Victor Osimhen and his fellow teammates to ensure a resounding victory over the South Africans, seeking retribution for the disappointment suffered by some Nigerian musicians at the hands of South African artist Tyla during the 66th Grammys.
Expressing her sentiments in a video message shared through her social media platform, Teni appealed to the Super Eagles players to rectify the setback faced by their compatriots at the Grammys by defeating South Africa in the semifinal showdown at Bouaké’s Stade de la Paix in Cote D’Ivoire.
She exclaimed,
“Grammy there’s a problem. We have many parties. You have killed our groove.
“South Africa, Tyla’s ‘Water.’ Alright. [Victor] Osimhen, over to you. [Ademola] Lookman, over to you. South Africa, you will dance Amapiano after your AFCON defeat. You killed my groove. Grammy why?”
