Financial expert and social media personality Gehgeh has taken aim at the Super Eagles after Nigeria's female Under-17 team won a championship, according to a report by Daily Post Nigeria published on 8 November 2026.
In a video he shared online, Gehgeh reportedly congratulated the young female players. He then argued that they had achieved something the country's senior male footballers have so far failed to deliver.
Questions over Nigeria's trophy drought
According to the report, Gehgeh questioned why Nigeria keeps struggling to win major football honours even though the country has produced several notable players. He named Victor Osimhen, Boniface, Musa and the former international star Okocha, and expressed disappointment over the senior team's record.
The Urobo fowl jibe
He also warned the senior team that they should give up the eagle symbol if they cannot win trophies for the country. In Pidgin, Gehgeh said: "If una know say una no go win anything for Nigeria, make una remove that eagle wey dey Super Eagles and put Urobo fowl there because it is a shame to Nigerians."
The source does not say which competition the Under-17 women won, when or where the video was recorded, or whether the Nigeria Football Federation or any Super Eagles player has responded to the comments.
