Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has become the subject of an interesting social media moment after Sharon Meeks, the mother of Florida-based content creator MikaaaMeeks, jokingly made advances toward him, Soccernet.ng reports.
Okoye, who is arguably Nigeria’s top goalkeeper at the moment, has experienced a remarkable resurgence at Udinese following a challenging stint at Watford. Last season, he kept ten clean sheets in 30 Serie A appearances.
However, while his on-field performances have been brilliant, Okoye often gets as much attention for his striking good looks as he does for his saves.
The 26-year-old shot-stopper stands at 6’6″ and possesses striking facial features that frequently leave fans in awe. It has become common for admirers to flood social media with posts praising his appearance, and now, MikaaMeeks’ mother has joined the trend.
Soccer Watch: What MikaaaMeeks’ Mum Said About Maduka Okoye
In recent years, Florida-born content creator MikaaaMeeks has gained popularity for her funny, relatable videos, often featuring conversations with her parents, Sharon and Pierre. In a recent clip, she and her mother discussed Okoye’s attractiveness, with Sharon playfully describing the Super Eagles star as “dessert.”
”Oh my gosh, do you have any more pics with his chest? You know our looks are from Nigeria, don’t you?” Sharon Meeks said in the video.
”Look at this—he’s a 5,000. He is definitely in the chesty-westy club. So, you’re going to bring the Nigerian food, and don’t worry about dessert—because you are dessert.”
Definitely, Okoye will continue being the object of advances from women. And more funny situations like this one with Sharon Meeks will continue. In the meantime, he will look to keep improving and shining for club and country on the pitch, as that is what matters most.
