This is why the Nigerian league will not move forward.You dare not try this abroad else you would be given a life ban.

Some Nigerians are very wicked and deadly, always looking for the slightest opportunity to beat someone and in some cases burn. Most times even passersby stop and 'enjoy' the sight.... quite sad and inhumane...

Jungle justice is so bad because in many cases the victims are actually innocent. ...Someone may just shout thief theif, nxt thing people already bounced on him without seeking for the smallest possible evidence.. Bunch of insensitive and cruel people. .. mtcheeeeww. .

@topic, thankGod he wasn't killed but I doubt if he will ever be on the pitch again after this ugly incident....
