Former Nigerian striker Jonathan Akpoborie revealed a unique moment in his career when he was unexpectedly called up to play for the Super Eagles during a match against Togo—right after enjoying a hefty meal of pounded yam!
Relaxing at Honourable Nduka Irabor’s house and later spectating the game, Akpoborie was stunned when coach Bonfrere Jo summoned him straight from the stands at halftime.
With Nigeria trailing, Akpoborie suited up, despite his recent meal, showing that when duty calls for Nigeria, there’s no time to digest!
