Isbae U’s Show Turns Heated as Footballer Victor Boniface Fires Back
Adebayo Ridwan Abidemi, known as Isbae U, a popular comedian and content creator, faced a challenging episode on his show ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’.
Victor Boniface, a Nigerian footballer, was featured as a guest on Isbae U’s show, which turned into a contentious encounter marked by verbal sparring. Isbae U, renowned for his YouTube podcast where he often poses provocative questions, elicited strong reactions online. The clash began when Isbae U humorously labeled Victor as the second-best ‘Victor’ player in Nigeria’s Super Eagles, teasing him about wearing a fake wristwatch. Isbae U also playfully suggested Victor looked older than his age and teased him about losing the Europa League to fellow player Ademola Lookman.
In response, Victor Boniface fired back with sharp retorts, playfully renaming Isbae U as ‘Nikky the Barbie’ and poking fun at his short beard. The 24-year-old footballer didn’t hold back, even commenting on Isbae U’s career and family, which left the comedian momentarily speechless and eventually led him to exit his own show prematurely. During the interview, Victor Boniface clarified that he is content with his current team, Bayer Leverkusen, and has no immediate plans to move to the Premier League.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
