MY FATHER MADE FUFU FOR ME BACK IN ENGLAND – MUSIALA
Read Time:1 Minute, 17 Second
Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala has endeared himself to Nigerian fans by revealing his love for one of the nation’s most classic dishes – fufu.
The 21-year-old midfielder, who represents Germany internationally, made the confession during an appearance on the popular culinary show ‘How Hungry Are You’ hosted by Chef Serge Ibaka.
“My dad is from Nigeria and he always tells me about the culture and everything about African foods. My dad made fufu while I was growing up back in England; he made this dish [fufu] every other day,” Musiala shared during the show.
“I have never been to Africa before even though I always wanted to but we have never really had the time to go over there,” he explained.
When asked to rate his hunger levels, Musiala responded cheekily: “After eating fufu.” in a video posted on TikTok.
His comments were a nod to the doughy West African dish made from fermented cassava widely enjoyed across Nigeria.
While he may have pledged his allegiance to Germany at senior international level, Musiala’s loving reference to fufu highlights the deep Nigerian roots that he still embraces.
The Bayern star was born in Stuttgart to a Nigerian father, giving him dual nationality and eligibility to represent the Super Eagles.
Despite being raised in England from age seven after his family moved to the UK, it’s clear Musiala maintains a strong appreciation for Nigerian culture – particularly when it comes to the nation’s cuisine.
