Nigerians on social media blame Buhari as Super Eagles crash out of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations
The Super Eagles of Nigeria suffered a 1-0 loss to the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia in a round of 16 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) fixture played on Sunday, January 23, 2022.
The Super Eagles played for almost 30 minutes with 10 men after substitute Alex Iwobi received a red card for a dangerous tackle.
After three group victories against Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea-Bissau the Super Eagles are out of the competition in the round of 16 and Nigerians were not pleased.
Top of the trends was President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari.
The President dominated the trends after motivating the Super Eagles through a zoom call earlier in the day.
Nigerian football fans blamed the Presidents conversation with the team for the loss.
Iwobi red card, Iheanacho yellow card. All the time they have been playing this never happened. Why is it that it is the day they spoke to Buhari that these series of unwelcome events rained on us!
