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.

Liverpool’s Diogo Jota and His Brother Dies in Heartbreaking Car Accident

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, 28 years old, has tragically passed away alongside his younger brother André Silva, following a terrible car accident in Spain. The crash happened early this morning, July 3rd, on the A-52 highway, near Cernadilla, in Zamora province, Spain.
Reports say Diogo and André were travelling in a Lamborghini when the car’s tyre burst, causing them to lose control while overtaking another vehicle. Their car crashed into a barrier and immediately caught fire. Despite efforts by emergency responders, both brothers lost their lives at the scene.
This tragedy comes just 11 days after Diogo’s wedding to his longtime partner, Rute Cardoso, who is now left heartbroken with their three young children.
Football fans, teammates, and even world leaders have been sending messages of love and shock following the tragic news. Liverpool FC, where Diogo became a fan favourite, described the loss as “unbearable” and sent their support to both families.
Club manager Jurgen Klopp, visibly shaken, said, “Diogo wasn’t just a brilliant footballer, he was a wonderful father, a loving husband, and a true friend to many.”
Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo’s Portugal teammate, shared his heartbreak online, writing: “It’s hard to accept this… just days ago we celebrated your wedding. Life can be so unfair.”
Portugal’s Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, also expressed his sorrow, calling their deaths “an enormous loss” for the country. Meanwhile, football clubs around Europe, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Wolves, and Atlético Madrid, all sent their condolences.
UEFA has announced there will be a minute of silence before the next Women’s Euro games to honour both Diogo and André.

Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his shock and heartbreak over the sudden death of Diogo Jota. Jota, along with his younger brother André, lost his life in a car accident during the early hours of Thursday.
The two brothers were travelling together when the tragic incident happened. Both were footballers, with Diogo playing for Liverpool and André following his own path in the sport. Ronaldo, who shared the pitch with Jota for Portugal’s national team, couldn’t hide his pain. In an emotional message posted online, he said:
“It just doesn’t make sense. We were together recently with the national team, and you just got married. To your family, your wife, your children — I send all my condolences and strength. I know you will always be watching over them.”
“Rest in peace Diogo and André. You will both be missed by all of us.” Just last month, Ronaldo and Jota lifted the UEFA Nations League trophy together for Portugal, making this loss even harder to accept.
