Prior to this, the friendly banter was usually over whose Jollof reigned supreme and still takes center stage in many inter-regional conversations.
That is why it took many African football fans by storm when Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi of Nigerian heritage attributed his speed on the pitch to Fufu.
This comes after the 21-year-old talisman scored the only goal from a brilliant solo run, beating Chelsea’s €121 million buy Enzo Fernandez and Kepa Arrizabalaga, to win the game.
Interestingly, Ghana also has a similar food as a native delicacy, which meant that the comment did not sit well with them.
The team posted a photograph of the German forward on Twitter with the caption, ‘Fueled by fufu’.
This phrase has drawn the battle lines once again between Ghana and Nigeria, and the turf is social media.
Ghanaians jumped on the tweet with sharing their thoughts on the matter.
