BET Awards 2018: Nigeria’s Tobe Nwigwe rocks Super Eagles jersey to perform

Nigerian-American musician, Tobe Nwigwe, showed solidarity with the Nigerian Super Eagles when he performed wearing the Nike designed jersey at the 2018 BET awards.

Nwigwe and his crew of dancers rocked the awards stage with the critically acclaimed jerseys and tracksuits to the admiration of the crowd.

Nwigwe became the first artist signed on to ETA Records as an edutainer—essentially an artist who uses entertainment as a means to educate their audience on a particular subject.

The edutainer is well known for his nonprofit organization ‘TeamGINI’, a name derived from “Gini Bu Nkpa Gi?”—Igbo for “What’s your purpose?” which thrives to help people discover their life purpose.

Reminiscing on the show, he took to his twitter handle on Monday @TobeNwigwe to thank Nike for gifting the World Cup kits to his crew.
