Nigeria’s Cuisine and Football Legends Are Unmatched, Says Awoniyi
Taiwo Awoniyi, a Nigerian footballer based in England and currently playing for Nottingham Forest, recently shared his thoughts on why he believes Nigeria surpasses the United Kingdom in several aspects.
In an engaging interview with Livescore, the striker discussed his strong opinions on his home country, offering insight into his love for Nigerian culture.
Awoniyi confidently stated that Nigeria’s cuisine is unmatched, praising the diverse flavors and rich culinary traditions that make the nation’s food exceptional.
From the ever-popular jollof rice to the delicious suya and pounded yam, he believes Nigerian dishes hold a unique charm that the UK’s food scene simply can’t replicate.
He also mentioned Nigeria’s football legends, suggesting that the country has produced some of the best talents in the history of the sport.
Awoniyi’s pride in his nation’s footballing legacy was evident as he spoke of Nigerian icons who have made an impact both locally and internationally.
Names like Nwankwo Kanu, Jay-Jay Okocha, and the legendary Rashidi Yekini came to mind as examples of the extraordinary footballing talent Nigeria has nurtured over the years.
In addition to football, Awoniyi expressed his admiration for Nigeria’s weather, which he believes far exceeds the often rainy, cold climate of the UK.
When it comes to music, the 26-year-old striker revealed that his favorite artist is none other than Nigerian rapper Olamide.
Known for his catchy tunes and influence on the Afrobeats genre, Olamide has gained massive popularity both in Nigeria and beyond.
Awoniyi credits the rapper’s music for energizing him and keeping him connected to the cultural heartbeat of Nigeria, even when he is away.
The footballer also touched on the topic of fashion within the Super Eagles squad.
He named Victor Osimhen as the most fashionable player in the team, praising the Napoli striker for his stylish and sharp fashion sense.
Osimhen’s bold choices and modern looks have made him a fashion icon for many, and Awoniyi seemed to agree that the young forward stands out in terms of on- and off-field style.
Finally, Awoniyi shared that Nigeria is his favorite destination for holidays.
Despite his busy football career abroad, he makes it a point to visit home whenever possible.
