Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has threatened to beat up social media personality Kehinde Adams, more popularly known as Lege Miami, over comments he made about his late father.
Lege Miami had criticised several players in the Nigeria national team after they failed to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Although he singled out the likes of Victor Osimhen, Benjamin Fredrick, and Calvin Bassey, he reserved harsh criticism for others. One of these was Nwabali, despite the Chippa United stopper saving two spot-kicks during the penalty shoot-out.
The comments, which referenced Nwabali’s late father, whose funeral he recently attended, triggered an angry response from the goalkeeper.
Nwabali took to his Instagram story to warn the content creator, writing: “Lege Miami, remove my late dad’s name from your mouth if you are doing your content.
“If you don’t learn to respect people’s dad, you should respect the dead.
“I’m not your regular type of footballer. I go beat you mercilessly. You’re free to insult me, but remove my late dad’s name from your mouth.”
Hours later, Lege Miami reshared Nwabali’s message and insisted the goalkeeper must apologise to Nigerians, saying: “@nwabali32 you come to my dm to insult my personality due to I corrected your mistakes; anyway, all I want to say is for you to make an apology video for Nigerians.”
