Nwabali and Enyeama compared
Chippa United shut-stopper Nwabali proved his place as the undisputed number in Cote d’Ivoire after another inspired display for Nigeria at the AFCON.

Following his latest display, the former Wikki Tourist is proving to be an adequate answer to former skipper and Nigerian legend, Enyeama.
After the game against the Palancas Negras, a fan took to social media to share an interesting insight into the Super Eagles goalkeeping department.

“For generations to come, only those with this particular head shape should be allowed to become Super Eagles goalkeepers,” he posted on X.com.
The post humorously implies their similar skull shape is the secret behind Enyeama and Nwabali's goalkeeping heroics for the Super Eagles.

It comically calls for all future Nigeria keepers to have the same 'Enyeama-Nwabali head' that has brought success for both players in between the sticks.
The lighthearted tweet underlines how fans are celebrating Nwabali emulating his legendary Nigerian shut-stopper Enyeama with his performances at AFCON 2023.
