The post ignited a firestorm of criticism on X
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is facing significant backlash after the official Black Stars social media account posted match highlights from their recent 2–1 defeat to Nigeria, accompanied by a soundtrack featuring Nigerian music.
The post, intended to engage fans, instead ignited a firestorm of criticism on X, with many Ghanaians expressing outrage over the choice of a song by Davido featuring Rema.
Many accused the GFA of insensitivity and questioned the decision to promote Nigerian music in the aftermath of a loss to the same country.
One user remarked, “Yet the post is still up… Wegyimi too much. Delete and repost. Idiot.”
Another stated, “And the admin is seeing all the disregard for the background song in the comment session and is still keeping the post. Delete this nonsense.”
Fans felt that using Nigerian music in this context was a misstep that failed to honor Ghanaian talent and sentiments.
As of now, the GFA has not issued an official response to the criticism.
