AFCON 2023: Nigerians react as Asamoah Gyan banters Black Stars of Ghana

Asamoah Gyan responded tactfully to Ghana's match against Mozambique in their final 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) group stage game in Côte d'Ivoire.

Many have interpreted a cartoon animation that Gyan posted on his Instagram profile to represent different things.

The video was released just one day after Ghana and Mozambique drew in their last group stage match at the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara stadium during the 2023 African Cup of Nations.

In the animated clip, a massive boulder was heading toward the castle and was about to fall, but a massive stoner man rushed to stop it.

Lesson: remember to be grateful and appreciate those around you was the message displayed at the end of the film.

Asamoah Gyan's message appeared to be a response to Ghana vs. Mozambique, as suggested by many.

Some further joked that a lot of other people might not get the post's meaning.

The rivalry between football giants Nigeria and Ghana has been reignited at the continental showpiece.

Ghana and Nigeria started to banter when they arrived at the AFCON in traditional attires and are set to continue for the rest of the tournament.

The rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria in football is deep as their fans always take to social media to banter.

Ghanaians mocked the Super Eagles after a 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea, and Nigerians responded following their 1-2 loss to Cape Verde.

After the result against Mozambique, Barcelona Femeni forward Asisat Oshoala and Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface led the banter session to the Ghanaians on social media.
