Ademola Lookman's goal in the first half ensured Nigeria's victory, prompting Omokri to take to Twitter and applaud Angola not only for their performance but also for their exceptional sportsmanship.
"Angola lost the match yesterday, but they won my respect and the admiration of others," Omokri remarked. "I never knew they were such decent people. They congratulated Nigeria. Officially. There was no backlash on social media. Their fans did not resort to violence. There were no anti-Nigerian sentiments. They just moved on."
Omokri's praise extended to Angola's behavior transcending the sporting event, portraying them as a race of people worthy of admiration. He expressed a desire to visit Angola, emphasizing the uniqueness of their conduct not just within Africa but globally.
