Fondly known as “Eppppaaaa”, the ever-smiling groundnut seller from Kwara Stadium has become a beloved symbol of grassroots football passion in the state. A diehard supporter of Kwara United and all state teams, she has followed them tirelessly — from the North to the South, East to West — never missing a match, no matter the distance.
Her presence at the final in Lagos was a reminder that football is more than a game; it’s a community. Fans, players, and even strangers in the crowd recognized and celebrated her dedication. Her simple trade, grounded in the stadium terraces, has made her part of Kwara United’s story — a walking emblem of loyalty and love for the game.
Congratulations to “Eppppaaaa” — this victory is yours too. Safe travels, and thank you for reminding us what true support looks like.
