Fatawu Dauda's lion-roar celebration after Cape Verde win
By Ameenu Shardow
Ghana goalkeeper Fatawu Dauda has promised to continue with his frantic ‘lion-roar’ celebrations at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 27-year-old’s wild jubilation in the 2-0 win over Cape Verde in the quarter-finals has seen him become a big hit on social networking sites especially on Twitter and Facebook.
The AshantiGold shot-stopper’s face in the television camera celebration with a huge roar like a lion after the final whistle on Saturday has also gone viral with massive hits on internet video website, Youtube.
Some have however criticized the celebration – saying its nightmarish especially to children while others just think it is hilarious.
Dutch legend Ruud Gullit for instance in his mild criticism of the celebration said: “I don’t think we should show this to children under eighteen years.”
Dauda is however determined to take his frantic celebrations even a step further when the Black Stars win their semif-final game against Burkina Faso on Wednesday.
“Some (players) chose to dye their hair and with various hairstyles, mine is to celebrate like that,” he said.
“I think I will do more when we win our next game (against Burkina Faso).”

Lioooooooooooooon
Monki no fine but ghana dey like am.
Hahahaha. Seriously I was scared when I saw it too.
Hahaaaaass funny keeper! I love his enthusiasm!
Daudasy, every lion is fearsome and nobody can take your heroic away from you. Go on roaring to conquer Africa!
Next game you’ll cry like a baby….Ghana cannot win the cup with this style of play.
I disagree with some comments of ghanaians that dauda should be the number one goal keeper based on his current saves he made against cape verde,for me i call it a lack on the side of the blackstars an the keeper as well.less we not forget the performance of Adam kwarasey on ghana’s friendly against brazil and some few matches played by the black stars when kwarasey was defending the post.for me Adams Kwarasey is far better than dauda.interms of age wise,dauda will soon fade out because he is out of date.
This guy is good. I like him
This Guy is sooo ugly! anyway Andre Ayew scored an own goal yesterday and i was very sad.
Totally unnecessary.. Just keep the post and stop the theatrics.. You’re not an actor..
please try n tuin your face please
my son have never been sleeping since he saw this face pls plastic surgery will help n skin lite
Wel done chuku but dat wee is a flish fool
Dauda save d day for ghana. I foresee a drug test for substance taking if Dauda pulp out his eyeball again. Some people have started hating him.
Is he wearing a haloween costume? Scary being!
