A Zimbabwean woman, identified as Angela Chukwubuikem, has sparked reactions online after playfully threatening to divorce her Nigerian husband if the Super Eagles defeat her country’s national team, the Warriors, in their upcoming World Cup qualifier match.
The Nigerian national team, Super Eagles, is currently in high spirits following their recent victory over Rwanda. In their last match at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, Victor Osimhen scored an important goal, helping Nigeria secure a crucial win.
As excitement builds for the upcoming match between Nigeria and Zimbabwe, Angela’s husband, Martins Chukwubuikem, took to social media to express his confidence in the Super Eagles. However, his Zimbabwean wife responded in a lighthearted yet firm manner, stating that if Nigeria defeats Zimbabwe, their marriage could be in jeopardy.
“I see Zimbabwe winning; that is all I can see. I know this is the home of the Super Eagles, but victory is ours,” Angela declared.
Her husband, Martins, humorously recalled how he had supported Zimbabwe in a past match against Nigeria and found himself in a tricky situation due to his divided loyalties.
In a viral post shared by Making of Champions on X (formerly Twitter), it was revealed that Martins even flew his wife to Uyo, Nigeria, to watch the much-anticipated game live. The tweet read:

As the post gained traction, social media users flooded the comment section with their thoughts, with many finding humor in the couple’s playful banter. Others, however, debated the seriousness of her statement and whether football rivalries should influence personal relationships.
With the highly anticipated match just around the corner, all eyes are on the Super Eagles and the Warriors to see how the game will unfold—and whether Angela’s playful “threat” will hold any weight after the final whistle.
