Leon Balogun finally came out on twitter as at 8:00 am this morning to pour out his apology to Nigerians football fans for his defensive error that led to Madagascar first Goal.

Nigeria went on to lose the match 2:0.


Here are screenshots of his tweet and replies from Nigerians

"You can love me or either leave me, but I'm only human & I make mistakes. Try not to hold that against me tho. I accept full responsibility for my actions, so if ya'll expect me to be perfect, I apologize for being human. No mistake's too great to recover and bounce back" �����

Come stand for oshodi bus-stop talk am na...u dey apologies inside social media.

We're Nigerians!
only God can forgive you...we don't!

Leon we know you made an error and the hallmark of a great man is his response to his fall.
So start fasting and praying if you're not playing the next match or die on the pitch if you're playing, whichever way, make 100% sure we win and get to the finals QED!
BTW, we love you too much

This is not an apology, it's emotional blackmail. Sounding like my girlfriend that always tries to guilt trip me despite doing something wrong
