Popular Nigerian Comedian Mr Macaroni, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and Toyin Abraham-Adedeji were in attendance as brand ambassadors of Nigerian Breweries.

The Salernitana defender also revealed what his tattoos mean and why he loves them so much. 

“I love tattoos; that’s very obvious." 

"The tattoos on my arm pay homage to my roots - being a Nigerian and spending a lot of time in Nigeria.” 

Brand Ambassadors charge Super Eagles stars 

Nigerian Breweries brand ambassadors present at the event commended the Super Eagles side led by captain Ahmed Musa for their dedication to their fatherland. 

Furthermore, they admonished coach Peseiro’s boys to always give their best when donning the Green and White colours of the Super Eagles of Nigeria. 

They added that criticism from football fans, especially when results do not go our way, should not deter the boys from bringing their A-game every time they represent Nigeria.

During his remark, comedian Mr Macaroni revealed that he had to delete bad comments about the Super Eagles he had posted on Twitter before he joined them for the dinner.

According to him, the action was necessary to avoid any ‘mob action’ from Nigerians on Twitter.

He said,

“When they said I am coming to interact with the Super Eagles, I first went on Twitter, typed my name and Super Eagles.”

“You know, when you do that, all the things you have said about the Super Eagles will come out. So, I deleted everything bad I had said about the Eagles before Twitter (people) would help me to carry it.”

“Now, I will snap pictures with all of you and post and Twitter way ‘oh, when you abused them, you didn't know?”
