Octopus Paul, based in Germany, came to world fame by correctly predicting the outcome of all seven of that country's World Cup matches in South Africa.

Paul who also predicted correctly that Spain would beat the Netherlands and win the coveted trophy for the first time, is due for retirement, according to its owners, however an obvious admirer of NPP flag-bearer, Alan Kyerematen, nursing hopes that his choice may prevail over hot favourite Nana Akufo-Addo, has created an image showing octupus Paul picking Alan ahead of Nana. The image is currently doing the rounds on social networking site, Facebook.
