In a recent video post on his X account, Ghanaian YouTube personality Kwadwo Sheldon, also known as Bernard Kwadwo Amoafo, expressed his distress over the possibility of Nigeria winning the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Sheldon adamantly stated that if Nigeria were to emerge victorious, it would be catastrophic for Ghanaians.

Following Nigeria’s 1-0 victory over Angola in the AFCON quarter-final, Sheldon conveyed his concerns, emphasizing the implications of a Nigerian triumph. He articulated, “We can’t allow Nigerians to win the Africa Cup of Nations because if they do, we are dead. We are gone.” Sheldon further lamented the potential accumulation of achievements by Nigerians, alluding to the impact of combining an AFCON victory with Nigeria’s renowned Jellof rice and Afrobeat music.

Amidst his distress, Sheldon’s sentiments have sparked attention and engagement, as his video articulates the intensity of the rivalry and national pride associated with the AFCON tournament. With the final matches drawing near, the sentiments expressed by Sheldon offer a glimpse into the passionate fervor and spirited competition that characterize the African football landscape.
