Content creator and actor Kehinde Adams, popularly known as Lege Miami, has responded to Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali after the footballer warned him against mentioning his late father during online criticism of the national team.
In a separate post on social media, Lege issued an apology for referencing Nwabali’s late dad but maintained that his initial remarks were meant to correct the goalkeeper’s on-field behaviour.
He wrote, “First, I am sorry I mentioned your late dad that made you upset, but you don’t like listening to corrections, when they correct you, you like to act like a big man on the pitch. Your hanky-panky on the pitch is too much. You are supposed to give your colleagues courage, but you play with the ball inside the box. You do a lot of mistakes, we are trying to correct you.”
The exchange follows Nigeria’s disappointing failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after losing to DR Congo in the African playoff: a result that triggered widespread criticism of the team and its players.
Nwabali, who saved two penalties in the shootout but could not prevent Nigeria’s exit, earlier warned Lege Miami to stop invoking his late father while making content, insisting that such comments were out of line.
