‘Who is this fine babe?’ - Nigerians gush over Deborah Abiodun after speaking out against Cameroon’s ‘Juju’ drama
During the Paris 2024 Olympic qualifiers, Nigeria's Super Falcons encountered unexpected drama as a Cameroonian player attempted to use ‘juju-like’ materials at their goal post.
However, the indomitable lionesses saw their attempt check-mated and the situation was diluted, preventing the Lionesses from breaching Chiamaka Nnadozie’s goalpost.
Speaking after the match, Deborah Abiodun addressed the incident, stating, "We kind of saw it as a point of distraction in the game and were able to keep our focus high, regardless of whatever they believe in."
