The 2-1 defeat to AFCON host team has left many Nigerian supporters crestfallen, while their Ghanaian counterparts reveled in the misfortune of their arch-rivals, the Super Eagles.
Among those who took to social media to express their elation was Ghanaian musician, Black Sherif.
The artist wasted no time in seizing the opportunity to engage in some light-hearted banter aimed at his industry Nigerian colleagues, Odumodublvck and BlaqBonez.
With a series of tweets laden with wit and humor, Black Sherif playfully teased his counterparts, reminding them of the fervent taunt they had thrown at him when Ghana suffered an early exit from the AFCON competition.
Recalling the taunts and jests hurled at him during Ghana’s disappointing campaign, Black Sherif sought to turn the tables by relishing the chance to reciprocate the banter in the wake of Nigeria’s defeat.
