Victor Boniface Trolls Terem Moffi Over 45-Minute Role in FC Porto’s Primeira Liga Title Win

FC Porto secured the Primeira Liga title on Saturday with a 1–0 victory over Alverca, handing Nigerian forward Terem Moffi his first major European league honour. The moment, however, was quickly overshadowed by a viral comment from Super Eagles teammate Victor Boniface, who wasted no time pointing out exactly how little of the action his compatriot had participated in.

Moffi, who joined Porto on loan from OGC Nice in January, celebrated the milestone on Instagram, writing: “First career trophy, Thank you Portistas and above all thank you God.” The post attracted widespread engagement — but it was Boniface’s reply that dominated the conversation.

The Bayer Leverkusen striker’s comment was brief and direct: “For 45min wey you play ….you no get shame.” The jab, delivered in Nigerian Pidgin English, referenced Moffi’s modest contribution to Porto’s title-winning campaign. According to the original report by Pulse Sports, Moffi accumulated 241 minutes of playing time across the season, a stark contrast to fellow Super Eagles international Zaidu Sanusi, who logged 995 minutes on his way to a second Primeira Liga winner’s medal.

Porto claimed the title with two matches still remaining in the season — a result that represents the club’s 31st Portuguese top-flight championship. The win underlines Porto’s return to domestic dominance and provides a significant boost to a squad that features several Nigerian internationals.

The exchange between Boniface and Moffi is not an isolated incident. The friendship between Boniface, Moffi, and Porto midfielder Raphael Onyedika has previously played out publicly in similar fashion. When Moffi finished last season without a trophy, Boniface and Onyedika reportedly presented him with a consolation gift so he could experience what it felt like to hold a trophy — a moment that circulated widely among Nigerian football supporters.

Fans responded to Boniface’s latest comment with considerable amusement, with many highlighting the unfiltered social media presence that has made the 23-year-old a popular figure beyond his performances on the pitch. Boniface has been a standout player for Bayer Leverkusen since joining the German club, establishing himself as one of the more prominent Nigerian forwards in European football.

Moffi’s loan move to Porto from Nice marked a significant shift in his career trajectory. The 25-year-old had been a consistent scorer in Ligue 1 but had not previously won a major league title. His stint at the Estádio do Dragão, even in a limited role, ends that wait.

Looking ahead, both Moffi and Sanusi are reportedly expected to link up with the Super Eagles squad for the Unity Cup in London, as well as high-profile June friendlies against Poland and Portugal. Boniface is also anticipated to be part of those international commitments, meaning the banter between the trio is unlikely to subside any time soon.

Whether Moffi will have an opportunity to respond — on the pitch or otherwise — when Nigeria’s internationals reconvene remains to be seen.
