Nigerian comedian and popular skitmaker Nasboi has sparked laughter and debate online after jokingly referring to men who don’t watch football as “James Brown.” The playful comment, shared on his Facebook page, quickly went viral, garnering attention from fans and celebrities alike.
In his post, Nasboi humorously wrote, “Any man wey no dey watch football na James Brown. Goodnight ❤️” a remark that blends his usual comedic style with a tongue-in-cheek critique of men who do not follow one of the country’s most beloved pastimes.
Nasboi’s statement playfully implies that men who are uninterested in football are somehow out of touch with the cultural norms of masculinity in Nigeria, where football has long been a source of national pride and unity. His comment was met with a mix of laughter, agreement, and some playful disagreement in the comments section, with many fans expressing amusement at the comparison.
The skitmaker’s post also highlighted his penchant for using humor to engage his audience on social media, where he frequently shares jokes, memes, and skits that reflect everyday Nigerian life.
Football is an integral part of Nigerian culture, with millions tuning in for matches both locally and internationally. However, Nasboi’s comment reminds followers that while sports remain a significant part of life for many, there is always room for playful banter about the shared cultural experiences that unite the country.
In typical Nasboi fashion, the post ended with a warm “Goodnight ❤️,” demonstrating his signature blend of humor and affection for his fans.
While some took the comment in stride, others jokingly defended their lack of interest in football, contributing to a light-hearted conversation about gender norms and personal preferences.
