Liverpool Football Club has warmed the hearts of Nigerian fans especially the Yorubas after they hailed their teenage sensation Rio Ngumoha with the popular Yoruba phrase “AGBA BALLER” on their social media handle.
The term “Agba Baller” is a street slang in Yoruba which means “experienced baller” or “big baller”, often used to praise someone with extraordinary football skills beyond their age.
By using Yoruba language to celebrate Ngumoha’s talent, Liverpool has not only shown recognition of the youngster’s Nigerian roots but also strengthened their bond with millions of fans across Africa.
