“You Are Our Last Hope” Nigerians Call On Super Eagles To Beat South Africa For Davido, Burna Boy, Asake And Olamide Over Grammy Loss
The Super Eagles must defeat South Africa in order to get revenge for Nigeria's Grammy defeat.
In response to a significant Grammy rejection that resulted in five West African candidates losing the Best African Music Performance title to South African pop diva Tyla, the Nigerian Super Eagles have been challenged to seek revenge on the nation's Afrobeats musicians.

When the list of nominees for multiple Grammy awards was revealed months ago, six Nigerians were among them, and the news was warmly welcomed.
There were tears of disappointment when the winners were revealed on Sunday night, West African Time, as none of the Nigerian musicians who had been nominated in several categories had taken home a medal.
Burna Boy, the previous champion, lost four awards: Best Global Music Album, Best African Music Performance, Best Global Music Performance, and Best Melodic Rap Performance.
Nigerians, still reeling from the disappointment of losing to a continental foe, have urged the Super Eagles, who face Bafana Bafana in the AFCON semi-final on Wednesday, to seek revenge.
