Since Nigerian-born Borussia Dortmund footballer, Karim-David Adeyemi’s remark on Fufu, the Nigerian staple is still making headlines.

It has just been refueled by his club’s tweet about the Fufu and Egusi soup combo.

It will be recalled that a video of the 21-year-old in an interview resurfaced, where Fufu became the topic of discussion following Dortmund’s 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 matches, on Wednesday night.

Adeyemi disclosed that his abilities on the field were a combination of the genetic attributes he inherited from his father and the power he gained from consuming Fufu, a traditional Nigerian dish derived from cassava.

Borussia Dortmund’s official Twitter page, still in the spirit of celebrating their victory, posted a dish of Fufu and Egusi soup.

It garnered millions of view, thousands of likes, and comment.

Today, Thursday, the club followed with a tweet of a video showing an Instagram influencer and some Nigerian preparing Fufu.

The video was blended with the moment Karim’s team launched a counter-attack that ended with him flicking the ball into the net while making a 360 degrees turn at full flight.

Some reactions are reproduced below:

@ABboy48: “We Nigerians are proud of our food called fufu.”

@olaayo_17 said, “Adeyemi to the world.”

@Bhandu17 said, “For a moment I thought Kehl was cooking.”

@Tytis said, “You didn’t have to do that.”

@marshybrawn said, “If I start to export Fufu to Germany now, everybody go wan follow put hand.” @Baron5Drug said, “OMG! Nigerians don’t know the difference between Fufu and Banku cos this right here is Banku.” (Vanguard)
