Nigerians on social media, especially X (Twitter), mocked their West African rivals Ghanaians after the Super Eagles progressed to the semi-final of the 2023 Africa Cup Nations.
The two countries have a long rivalry that sees both countries banter with each other over the best food, and best music, among other things.
The rivalry is deep-rooted and thus sports, this time, football open an avenue to go at each other.
After the win over Angola, Nigerians trolled Ghanaians with the progress of the Super Eagles as many Ghanaians were backing Angola to eliminate the Super Eagles.
The Super Eagles grind out a 1-0 win over the Antelopes at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan.
Ademola Lookman scored the only goal that secured the Super Eagles their 16th semi-final appearance in the competition history.
The Super Eagles, following the win, will now face the winner of the Cape Verde-South Africa quarter-final tie.
Nigeria are now two wins away from winning their fourth AFCON title, which will also be their first since 2013.

If Nigeria manage to win this Afcon, we’ll use the money to buy Ghana and turn it to our 37th state.

If we get to play South Africa, please respect yourself and drag Ghana. We are not bantering South Africa. It is the Haters Cup snd South Africans take the hate to the street.
