The actor boasted of Ghana’s impending victory via Instagram asserting that “there is no way Nigeria will win today’s match.”
The 38-year-old actor and politician also vowed to “walk barefoot from Accra to Lagos tomorrow morning with his ginger on his head” if Nigeria defeats Ghana tomorrow in the World Cup qualifiers match.

“Super Eagles my foot” John added.

“Start to wash your leg for that walk you need like full basket of ginger, start walking because we will win,” Sharon Ooja responded.
