Nigerian entertainer, Peller, has voiced his disappointment over the silence from Super Falcons players, particularly star striker Asisat Oshoala, following their victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
The Super Falcons secured their 10th continental title in a dramatic 3-2 comeback against host nation Morocco at Rabat’s Olympic Stadium. The victory came despite Nigeria trailing 2-0 early in the match, with a spirited second-half performance turning the game in their favor.
To celebrate their achievement, President Bola Tinubu rewarded each player with $100,000, a three-bedroom apartment under the Renewed Hope Housing Scheme, and the national honor of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON).
However, Peller alleges that since the win, his attempts to reach out to the team have gone unanswered. Speaking in a recent livestream, he claimed that Oshoala and several players have ignored his messages for over two weeks.
“I texted Asisat Oshoala since two weeks ago and she never replied. All of the Super Falcons refused to reply my messages. We were chatting before, and I even planned to travel to Morocco for streaming, but they said it was late and we’d meet in Nigeria. Since they won, I sent congratulations, but no one replied. I even sent voice notes—still nothing,” Peller lamented.
He further suggested that the players’ change in attitude might be linked to the financial rewards they received, saying, “If the money finishes, I won’t reply either. Life is not like this; they’ve used me.”
