Nigerian comedian and content creator Woli Agba has gone viral with a hilarious reaction video on Instagram after Spain defeated Argentina in the FIFA World Cup final on Saturday, July 19, 2026. The video, delivered in a mix of Yoruba and Pidgin English, targets Spain's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, whom the comedian mockingly calls "Lamidi Yamal." Woli Agba takes issue with the young star's celebratory behavior around Lionel Messi after the final whistle, arguing that a 20-year age gap demands a very different kind of respect—the Nigerian kind.
Woli Agba Questions Yamal's Respect for Messi
In the video, Woli Agba insists that the young Spaniard should have gone on his knees to greet the Argentine legend. "Is Messi your mate? Is it Messi that you are greeting and parting at the back? I expect you to go and prostrate for Messi and say good evening, sir. He carried you when you were a baby. He is older than you by 20 years. You made our legend cry, and you are happy. Whatever you reap, you will sow. Your child will do that for you," he said.
Comedian Recalls His Own Football Career
To soften the blow of the loss for Messi fans, Woli Agba also recalled his own brief and unremarkable football career. He described a moment on the pitch at Liberty where he became a spectator mid-game, standing on the field and cheering the ball as it passed him by rather than actually playing. This self-deprecating humor provided comic relief for many grieving supporters.
