An Ivorian man, identified as Anselme Santos, has issued a public apology to his wife and kids after a video of him during the ongoing AFCON (Africa Cup of Nations) went viral.
In the circulating video, Santos was seen asking a Senegalese lady for her phone number during an AFCON game. The incident occurred when Ivory Coast, the host nation, played against reigning champion Senegal on January 29th, 2024. The match ended in a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes, and Ivory Coast secured victory in the penalty shootout, leading to Senegal’s elimination.
Following the viral video, Anselme Santos took to social media to publicly apologize to his wife and children for his actions during the AFCON game. The incident has sparked discussions online about the potential consequences of social media visibility and the impact of public actions on personal relationships.
In his words; “I told her ‘give me your number’. But she didn’t want to. So I didn’t insist. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the lady, my wife, and my children!”
