Cole Palmer, the talented Chelsea FC footballer, recently found himself in the spotlight after he commented on a humorous photo circulating on social media.
The image featured a Zimbabwean commuter omnibus, affectionately known as “mshikashika,” which amusingly bore his name.
This particular kombi is owned by the Zimbabwe Commuter Omnibus Transport Association (ZICOTO), one of the prominent kombi associations operating in Harare.

Palmer took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts with a playful message: “How are y’all doing 🇳🇬 People 🔥🥶.”
His comment sparked a flurry of funny and lighthearted responses from users, each showcasing their own humor and pride for Zimbabwe.
One user quipped about how the country gets allocated the less desirable things, while another proudly celebrated the beauty of a Zimbabwean number plate. Others chimed in with jokes about the kombi being their taxi or sending love from Zimbabwe.
Amidst the banter, one user pointed out the mix-up, reminding Palmer that the kombi was indeed from Zimbabwe, not Nigeria, and cheekily requested him to show some national pride by featuring their flag.
Another user humorously questioned whether British people are ever satisfied with the local kombis. This delightful exchange not only highlighted Palmer’s engagement with fans but also underscored the vibrant sense of community and humor among Zimbabweans.
Below are some of the humorous comments from X users:
