Okoye easily one of the biggest ladies crush in the Eagles squad due to his good looks and physique, may not have been too regular for the national team but has always oozed out confidence whenever in the Eagles camp.
Recall that Maduka who stands about 1.97m tall, was literally mobbed by ladies in one of his outings for the national team. It was AFCON match against Sudan in 2022 which Nigeria won 3-1, while some fans criticised Okoye for not saving what was considered a cheap penalty, most ladies came to his defence.
A Twitter user with the name @AriesQueeeenn said, “I don’t care if Okoye did not catch penalty, as long as he catches me when I fall.
Grace Amankwah wrote “My fave Sunset in Lekki. Anyways Okoye dey enter my eye sha, abeg I close am ooooo.”
Another lady with the name Edu tweeted, “Dear Maduka Okoye. Please don’t forget to apply balm on your shoulders; they would not kill you for us. Keep catching the ball gracefully. Ball can come and go but your drip is eternal.”
Another big admirer of the goalkeeper with the name Na Ment said, “Me personally care about my baby Okoye than the match abeg.”
