Beer flowed, Nigerian hip-hop stole the show in Germany after Leverkusen’s first-ever Bundesliga triumph last Sunday. One man that played a key role in transforming the Germans from nearly men to champions is Akure-born Victor Boniface, writes PETER AKINBO
In the illustrious history of German football, Bayer Leverkusen are associated with the infamous moniker ‘Neverkusen’ due to their penchant for coming agonisingly close but falling short of major titles.
A typical example from the Nigerian point of view is Karibe Ojigwe, who joined Die Werkself from fellow Bundesliga side Kaiserslautern in 2000.
Before the Aba-born midfielder switched clubs, Leverkusen had only managed one major title — DFB-Pokal in 1993 — in their then 96-year history.
