Boniface explained that the celebration was influenced by a popular TikTok trend in Nigeria.
He clarified, “I don’t want to provoke anyone with it. I only did it in front of our own fans,” Boniface told Sky Germany via WELT.
“It’s a TikTok trend from a Nigerian influencer, and he’s a big influencer. He choreographed the dance and asked me if I could do it. I told him: no problem.
“I would have done it in the first two games, but I hadn’t scored a goal yet. And when I did score, it was time to keep my promise.”
