Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi has showcased his unwavering pride in Nigerian culture, delivering a resounding 5-0 win for his homeland in a playful “Culture Clash” game with Livescore, as reported by Sportsblog247.com.

Awoniyi, who joined Nottingham Forest in 2022 from Union Berlin, has spent over two years in the United Kingdom. Despite his long stint abroad, including stints in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, the 26-year-old remains deeply connected to his Nigerian roots.

In the fun cultural comparison, Awoniyi didn’t hesitate to champion Nigeria’s superiority over the UK across five key categories: food, music, football legends, weather, and fashion.

Better Food: Awoniyi confidently declared Nigeria’s cuisine as unmatched, scoring an easy first goal for his homeland.

Music: Highlighting Nigeria’s vibrant music scene, Awoniyi named hip-hop star Olamide as his personal favorite, making it 2-0.

Football Legends: When asked if the UK had better football legends, Awoniyi dismissed the claim as “false,” giving Nigeria another point.

Weather: The UK’s unpredictable weather was no competition for Nigeria’s sunshine, with Awoniyi humorously calling the UK’s claim to better weather “a big false.”

Fashion: For the final blow, he declared Nigerian fashion unmatched, cementing the 5-0 win. Awoniyi even gave a nod to his Super Eagles teammate Victor Osimhen as the squad’s top fashionista.

While Awoniyi remains a cultural ambassador for Nigeria off the pitch, he will be eager to rediscover his scoring touch on it. The forward, who netted six Premier League goals last season, is still searching for his first league goal this term after eight appearances.
