Boniface did not hold back when responding to a fan who trolled him days after the Super Eagles’ heartbreak in Uyo.
Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has responded with characteristic wit after Nigeria’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The 24-year-old Bayer Leverkusen forward, who played in the fixture at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, took to his Snapchat channel to exchange banter with a fan who attempted to troll him following the team’s underwhelming performance.
Boniface’s witty comeback amid Super Eagles criticism
Boniface uploaded a photo of himself getting a haircut by a female barber when a fan mocked him on Snapchat.
Without hesitation, the 2024 Bundesliga winner clapped back with a sharp response, reminding fans why he is still the King of banter.
However, the online exchange escalated when another user took a more personal jab, referencing his past relationship by suggesting: “Your own babe fit dey do OS” (a Nigerian slang implying prostitution work).
In a swift and biting response, Boniface reposted the comment and retorted, “Na why I no date anybody for ur family.”
The backlash stems from Nigeria’s failure to secure maximum points at home against Zimbabwe.
Boniface was one of the players called out by fans on social media following the game on Tuesday, when he was involved in a heated exchange with fellow Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen.
However, the pair have since moved on from the full-time drama.
Despite the social media exchanges, Boniface has remained lighthearted, proving once again that he is unafraid to engage in online banter despite the bigger challenges on the pitch.
