Super Eagles of Nigeria

It is very popular in football for new players in a team to stand in front of their new teammates and perform as their initiation.

At the Super Eagles camp in Seychelles ahead of their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against the Southern African countries, the newly called up players had their initiation ceremony during dinner on Wednesday, September 5.

Next was Porto B midfielder Nwakali who performed a popular Igbo gospel song but the comic moment in his performance was during his introduction when he introduced himself as an ‘Arsenal player on loan to Porto’ But midfielder John Ogu was quick to cheekily tell him that he shouldn’t have mentioned Arsenal.

It was Kalu’s performance that brought the most hilarious part of the initiation as he started off by saying; “I’m going to sing 2face by African Queen,” when 2face was actually the name of the artiste while ‘African Queen’ was the title of the song.
