Nigerian music stars and entertainers including Davido, Falz and several others have taken to social media to celebrate Arsenal’s historic Premier League title victory after 22 years.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Arsenal were confirmed champions following Manchester City’s draw against Bournemouth on Monday, which ended City’s hopes of overtaking Mikel Arteta’s side.
The result triggered widespread excitement among fans worldwide, with Nigerian celebrities leading online celebrations across various platforms.
Davido sparked reactions after posting on X: “BACK A GUNNER!!!”, publicly reaffirming his support for Arsenal.
The post attracted humorous responses from football fans, some of whom mocked the singer’s return to support after the club endured years without silverware.
Other Nigerian entertainers who joined in the celebrations include Falz, Seun Kuti, Tiwa Savage, Banky W and Timi Dakolo.
Political figures also joined the chorus of congratulations, highlighting the significance of the club’s achievement.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar commended Arsenal, describing the victory as a testament to perseverance and consistency.
Former Governor of Osun State Rauf Aregbesola also celebrated the milestone on his X account, calling it a long-awaited triumph.
Arsenal’s title success ends a 22-year wait since their famous “Invincibles” season in 2004, with the club finishing ahead of Manchester City, who trailed by four points with one game left.
The triumph has been widely celebrated across football communities and entertainment circles in Nigeria and beyond.
