Social media personality and actor Kehinde Adams, popularly known as Lege Miami, has apologised to Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali for mentioning the footballer’s late father in a recent online post.
Lege Miami said his remarks were intended to highlight Nwabali’s mistakes on the pitch, not to disrespect his late father. He wrote on social media:
"I am sorry I mentioned your late dad that made you upset, but you don’t like listening to corrections. When people correct you, you act like a big man on the pitch. Your play inside the box is too risky. You are supposed to inspire your teammates, but you make too many mistakes. We are just trying to help you improve."
The apology comes after Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup following a loss to DR Congo in the African playoff. Nwabali, who saved two penalties but could not stop Nigeria’s exit, had earlier warned Lege Miami to stop using his late father’s name in online criticism, calling the comments disrespectful.
