Nollywood actor turned clergyman, Pastor Jimmy Odukoya has caused a stir online as he mocks South Africans using their popular song by Tyla, Water.
It is no longer news that Super Eagles defeated South Africa in the semi-final. The game ended in a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes, but Super Eagles won the keenly contest with 4-2 on penalties.
Consoling South Africans, Pastor Jimmy made a remix of their artiste, Tyla’s Water, which he dedicated to them. He admitted that though they played a good game, Nigerians had to win.
He stated that if there is any consolidation for their loss, it would be the Grammy Water. However, he would keep praying for them.
“My fellow Nigerians, listen first of all South Africans, well done, the boys played a good game but at this point, it’s time for the boys to go to sleep. It’s your bedtime but as you go to sleep, this song comes to mind, ‘You have played, You have missed now, you have lost your breath, you need water’. But if there is any consolation it is Grammy water.
But you know what we would be praying for you, as you go for the third place.
But you know what my Nigerians, God no go shame us. We are taking the Cup. We are bringing it home. We are the Super Eagles, we keep flying”.
Many celebrities like Deyemi Okanlawon, Juliana Olayode, Omowunmi Dada, Uche Jombo, and more flooded his comment section.

Unlike him, BBNaija Ike Onyema is doing trade by barter with South Africans.
The ex-boyfriend of Mercy Eke, via the micro-blogging platform Twitter now known as X, appealed to South Africans to give Nigerians their fast-rising singer, Tyla, who beat Davido, Ayra Starr, and others to win a Grammy Award. In exchange for her, Nigerians would give them Pere Egbi and can add Phyna as a bonus.
Meanwhile, singer, Kizz Daniel had pledged to fly a fan to the UK following Super Eagles win.
The fan had taken to the micro-blogging platform to plead with the singer to fly him to his next show in the UK if the Super Eagles win and surprisingly, Kizz Daniel had agreed.
Following Nigerians’ victory, Kizz Daniel had urged the fan to go get his Visa ready as he is flying him to the UK.
