On Monday, Ghana surrendered a two-goal lead to get a 2-2 draw against Mozambique in their final Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) group match.
Two Jordan Ayew’s penalties were cancelled by two late Mozambique goals in added time, and the result condemned the Black Stars to just two points from three games.
Ghana are third on the Group B log, which has Cape Verde in first place and Egypt in second. The Ghanaians are on the brink of elimination from AFCON, except the results in other group matches favour them.
The predicament of the Ghanaian national team has dominated discourse among Nigerians on X, formerly Twitter. Many Nigerians have taken to social media to crack one or two jokes at the expense of their West African arch-rivals.
Asisat Oshoala, Super Falcons striker, led the banter after posting an artificial intelligence-generated painting of a woman cooking food and captioned it with: “Food is ready…. let’s have it. God of banter did it again”.
Hydra of Bitmama, an X user, said it is Ghana’s failure “more important” to him than the Super Eagles succeeding at AFCON.
