A video of Super Eagles and Fulham defender Calvin Bassey and his teammate, Alex Iwobi, granting an interview to their club’s TV station has gone viral.
However, something happened during the interview that got people talking online.
During the interview, the Fulham defender had to get permission from the interviewer to pick up a call from his mum.
Bassey’s action didn’t startle his colleague, Alex Iwobi, who is also a Nigerian, who instead couldn’t help but make a comment about African mums.

The Fulham winger reacted to Calvin Bassey’s mum’s call speaking about a particular behaviour that is common amongst African mothers.
He noted that he doesn’t understand why African mum’s love shouting when speaking on the phones even when the phone is on speaker. Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey were both in Cote d’Ivoire to represent the Super Eagles.
Their performances helped the Nigerian national team get to the final of the 2023 AFCON but lost the gold medal to the host nation.
