The girlfriend of Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen has caused a stir on social media by publicly showing her support for Cameroon over Nigeria in the ongoing African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.

The controversy comes just hours before Nigeria is set to face Equatorial Guinea in a crucial Group D match.

The girlfriend, whose name has not been disclosed, shared a series of posts on her social media accounts expressing her love for Cameroon, the country where her mother is from.

The posts have been met with mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing their disappointment and others defending her right to support her mother’s country.

The incident has added an extra layer of intrigue to Nigeria’s upcoming match against Equatorial Guinea, as Osimhen is one of the team’s star players.

The Super Eagles are currently second in Group D, with a win and a draw in their two matches so far. A victory against Equatorial Guinea would see them secure a spot in the knockout stages of the tournament.

As the controversy continues to swirl, all eyes will be on Osimhen and his teammates to see if they can put the distraction aside and focus on the task at hand.

The match against Equatorial Guinea is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 PM local time at the Olembe Stadium in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

In particular, the appointment of a female referee for Nigeria’s match against Equatorial Guinea has been met with criticism from some quarters, with accusations of bias against the Super Eagles.

Despite these controversies, the AFCON tournament has provided plenty of excitement and drama, with some thrilling matches and impressive performances from the participating teams.

As the group stages draw to a close and the knockout rounds approach, the competition is sure to heat up even further.
