Nigerian singer Teni Apata expressed her dramatic reaction to the Super Eagles’ exit from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after Nigeria was defeated by Morocco in the semi-finals. Her response, shared on Instagram, quickly went viral and sparked amusement among fans and fellow celebrities.

In the video, Teni was seen receiving an intravenous (IV) drip while two nurses attended to her, wincing as the injection took effect. While clearly in discomfort, she humorously aired her frustration over Nigeria’s defeat, jokingly blaming Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale and Ghanaians for “betraying” Nigeria. She even teased that Ghana would face consequences for the outcome.

Teni added a playful message directed at President Bola Tinubu, requesting a fighter jet to “avenge” the national team’s loss, emphasizing just how personally affected she felt by the match. She admitted that she had been feeling off ever since the Super Eagles’ game on Wednesday, January 14, 2026.

Fans quickly reacted to her theatrical display, sharing laughter and memes online. Some joked that the nurses should “inject her mouth” to calm her down, while others sympathized with singer Davido, who reportedly lost millions of naira betting on Nigeria to win. Social media users shared playful comments:
