Asisat Oshoala teases Victor Boniface after ‘no memes show’ after recent goal

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala has teased her fellow Nigerian, Super Eagles star Victor Boniface, after his match-winning goal for Bayer Leverkusen against FC Koln. She joked about his lack of memes in his celebration post, which is something he’s known for.

The light-hearted banter between Oshoala and Boniface is linked to a running joke about Boniface’s social media, especially his love for sharing memes after his games. The joke started after a viral video earlier in the week.

Boniface came off the bench to score a dramatic 98th-minute winner, securing a 3-2 victory for Leverkusen and a place in the DFB Pokal semi-finals. Before the match, there had been some criticism about Boniface’s football skills, which was discussed in a viral podcast.

After the game, Boniface shared his usual victory post on social media. In response, Oshoala commented, “You Dey fear woman why u no add memes?” This was a playful dig at comments made by a presenter, Tea, who had suggested that Boniface’s frequent meme posts were due to a lack of football talent.

However, Boniface’s performance, including his second goal in two games since returning from injury, has proven his critics wrong. Oshoala’s comment wasn’t the first time the two have joked around online. After congratulating Boniface on his performance, she continued to keep things light-hearted.

Boniface has now scored 10 goals and provided an assist in 17 matches for Leverkusen, despite dealing with injuries throughout the season.
