Daniel Regha, a well-known social media commentator, recently sparked discussion with his remarks about Nigerian footballer Ademola Lookman’s outfit at the Ballon d’Or ceremony on October 28, 2024.

He suggested that Lookman should have chosen traditional Nigerian or African clothing, referencing Senegalese player Sadio Mane, who gained attention in 2022 for wearing traditional attire at the same event.

Regha acknowledged that Lookman looked good in his suit but believed he missed an opportunity to highlight Nigerian culture on such a global stage

Daniel, recognized for his provocative views on nearly every online topic, wrote:

Ademola Lookman should’ve worn a traditional inspired outfit to the Ballon d’Or ceremony, to promote our culture & heritage; Just like Sadio Mane did in 2022. He looks good in his suit, but would’ve been a standout rocking any clothing that incorporates Nigeria or African designs.”

Some backed Regha’s suggestion, praising the idea of showcasing African culture through fashion and recognizing the meaningful effect it could have had.
