Nigeria’s English Premier League stars were shocked to find out they’re sharing a bed in the national team camp ahead of their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Nigeria national team stars Alex Iwobi and Ola Aina were left stunned when they checked into the national team camp ahead of the Super Eagles’ World Cup qualifiers.
Iwobi, who plays for English Premier League side Fulham, and Aina, of Nottingham Forest, witnessed their teams secure big wins last weekend to boost their hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, in what has been a great season so far for the two teams.
That meant both Iwobi and Aina checked into the national team camp in high sprits but their excitement soon turned into disappointment when they got into their hotel.

Aina filmed a disappointed Iwobi, who said: “Bruh, ooh my days ooh. Surely this [bed] cannot be separated. I will sleep on the floor.”
The Forest star jokingly told him: “It’s started. Alex, don’t kiss me, do not kiss me.”
Nigerian fans will be hoping that the little ‘shocker’ does not spill over to the pitch as the Super Eagles are in dire straits as far as qualifying for the 2026 World Cup is concerned.
