The 23-year-old made his debut for Nigeria in September 2023 after a brilliant start to life with Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. However, life in the national team hasn’t gone according to plan for Boniface.
In eleven appearances for the three-time AFCON winners, the former Union Saint-Gilloise forward has found the back of the net just once, and the Nigerian populace are increasingly becoming frustrated with the strikers lack of impact, especially after Nigeria’s AFCON 2025 qualifying games against the Republic of Benin and Rwanda.
Okpala has leaped to Boniface’s defence, urging for patience from the Nigerian football fans to allow Boniface flourish in attack.
In the meantime, Boniface is out of action for club and country due to a thigh injury he picked up while on International duty.
