Injured Nigerian international striker Victor Boniface caused an internet sensation on popular streamer Carter Efe’s recent Twitch broadcast by facilitating surprise FaceTime calls with some of the biggest names in world football.
The interactive session, part of Efe’s unique “prison-break” themed stream, sent the host into hysterics and captivated a global audience.
Joining remotely, Boniface, currently sidelined from action with Bayer Leverkusen due to a knee injury, leveraged his star connections to bring a flurry of top-tier talent to the stream. Viewers were stunned as he FaceTimed Real Madrid’s electrifying winger Vinícius Júnior, his Bayer Leverkusen teammate Florian Wirtz, and Liverpool’s dynamic full-back Jeremie Frimpong.
The interaction was not just about star power; it was also filled with playful banter characteristic of Nigerian online content. Boniface notably “roasted” Carter Efe over his past public disses towards music icon Wizkid, and hilariously reminded him of his own hit song “Machala,” which once topped Apple Music Nigeria charts. Adding to the comedic spectacle, Boniface playfully “confiscated” Efe’s phone during the stream, fulfilling the terms of a previous bet between the two personalities.
The lively session also saw Nigerian music producer and DJ Tunez join the playful back-and-forth, further amplifying the stream’s high-energy atmosphere. Fans across social media lauded Boniface’s impressive network and sharp wit, appreciating his ability to engage and entertain despite his current injury woes.
The blend of high-profile soccer hype and characteristic Nigerian humor successfully transformed what was initially a subscriber push into a global spectacle, highlighting the increasing crossover appeal between sports, music, and digital content creation.
