They are not envious of Nigerians but found Nigerian very annoying, dishonest, aggressive, boastful, uncivilized without regard for rule of law. Now , when you xray the Nigerian society you would understand that Nigerians are do not fall far from these labels everyone placed on them.

Even in here in Houston, Nigerians have very bad reputation. Very criminal minded, aggressive, boastful , uncivilized and gravely corrupt.

So when Africans treat is bad its because of our bad behavior. For me , I carry myself with dignity and many times people to believe I am a Nigerian. I want to change that rotten narrative. Nigeria has a very poor image around the world....and they are loud and boastful and think they are better than anyone. It's very embarrassing and infuriating

we should stop all these, every country has its bad eggs among its citizens, but it's us who normally rush to the media to expose what the bad eggs among us do. Most countries don't behave that way. I think Nigerians are unnecessarily being profiled negatively around the world and it's our fault especially the way we disgraced ourselves on social media. In south London, if you don't secure your car steering or pad up your pedals, your car will be moved before you wake up the next day, do you see Brits going on social media to call their country a shit hole? Banditry has been in South Africa for donkey years before it started in Nigeria, do you see South Africans lampooning their country for all their security problems? Nairobi is also called Nairobber where robbery is the order of the day, do you see Kenyans bashing their country? The Houston you say you're living in, don't they raid shopping malls regularly there, I know this myself but what's the media image of Houston being projected as?

We are the ones responsible for our bad image out there and those other Africans who bash us are only complimenting what we do. If we start projecting Nigeria differently, they will also follow likewise. Kenya and South Africa are not better than Nigeria in terms of security but how are those countries projected? Just think about it

lbrichman2:
That was a straightforward pass actually
Nothing special about it
Another striker might have lost that ball or be bullied off by the defender
Kudos to Osimhen for that sharp turn, holding off the defender and scoring
Osimhen did all the work
The pass wasn't special

true, even the studio analysts admitted he created the chance by himself. They even said his performance was not top-notch on the night but he kept fighting until he got the goal. Osimhen is a player o and he's yet to get back to 100% fitness.

Princezibk:
God bless you for this ,,, I made same comment on instagram and also told my colleagues. What if it was our neighbors that envied us ??

We are actually being envied despite not winning afcon so tey paseiro we see as a useless coach is being courted by many including our neighbours. I only hope we manage this success well.

jihday:
he saw that one but didn’t see the thousands that praised him? The national award and gift by the president too doesn’t count? Mtcheew, he can fak off

Any player quitting the national team after this afcon except those we know that are of retirement age is just a coward.

jihday:
it’s not worth it, if England loose euro final tell me if they’ll get any special government recognition. You people are too quick to say rubbish about this country

I tire o, some people even believe our boys were overewarded sef to the envy of their African nations. The way we Dey bash our country na wa o. But we will never change

lovewins:
All the people that can't wait to type "Victor Osimhen is not a big game player", Oya delete your drafts.

You Dey whine?

do4luv14:
Which one is Oshi Baba again,
biko don't call him that name,

it's Osi Baba, not Oshi

Baby calm down, highly noted

Odunayaw:
If na the gods of AFCON now they'd have brought VAR against our boy

Shebi na CAF carry VAR for head, phew

Oshi baba

Blueelf:
if an iwobi is near that box eighteen, ideas go leave his brain

Yet we are suppossed to pamper him

nonsense

Na Daddy wey Dey pamper na im be the boy matter o

ChrisKels:
No disrespect to these players of old but sometimes na nostalgia dey make us rate them or even think they were better talented than our present stars. Omo if you watch videos of some of these guys, you go come dey wonder what the rave was about.

really? Have you watched the kind of goals Yekini scored in Afcon then, even set pieces? don't go there o, there is a reason people bash our so-called current stars, we saw the best of attacking football back then compared to the scrappy play these days. It's what it is.

Samueltemi337:
Frank Onyeka starts for Brentford against Manchester City

Missed a glorious chance

I thought Niger does not want to have anything to do with Nigeria again since ecowas to them is useless.

Hypocrites. If they truly want to have nothing to do with Ecowas they should try hunger

komekn:
The negative defensive posture and structure failed Iwobi not Iwobi failed us.

I think it failed other players as well

komekn:
It's difficult to criticise Haaland.

Because since the day he first kicked a football ⚽ he has been phenomenal.

Every league he has been to he has broken records.

Currently from 19 games he has scored 16 goals and is one again in his second season top of the premier League. As an international 29 games for Norway and he has scored 27. This dude is a freak it's crazy 😧 this guy is just beyond description incredible.

What makes you world 🌎 class is CONSISTENCY, even with defenders doing PhD thesis on Haaland they still can't stop 🛑 him completely. Anywhere he goes he is always top and don't forget he is just 23.😯😯

Am I surprised?

if na oshimen miss the chances wey haaland miss today we no go hear word for this place o

Odunayaw:
I see you have continued the badbelle after AFCON

It takes bad belle to win afcon, ask Ivory coast how many Nigerians you see for stadium for final. There were more Nigerians outside the stadium than inside.

I bet you will see how the North Africans especially the host will do everything to win Afcon next year, club World Cup or whatever. Omo you never see anything,

Odunayaw:
The North Africans too will suffer because their clubs that'd participate in the CWC produce the bulk of their NTs.

Imagine finish CWC and running straight to AFCON

Good, another west African country can win again

Odunayaw:
And then it will in turn clash with resumption of Europe's calendar.

CAF and own goal

It won’t take off the shine from Afcon. Na the European leagues go hear am. I support and praise CAF for not bending towards the whims and caprices of uefa

Kog45:
Just love how our players are appreciated by their club sides after good Afcon performance.

Afcon viewership this year was mad. Whatever the organisers did to make this Afcon a global spectacle needs to be sustained subsequently.

The next year edition is in Morocco, I won’t be surprised to see lots of Europeans on summer holiday in Morocco next year because of Afcon. Flights tickets are very cheap for Europeans to Morocco. The Moroccans will surely take advantage of this.

jihday:
I think there are reports of the players bringing in prostitutes to the camp

The blood of Jesus! 😦

dozymars:
Reverse psychology

You got the drift, it’s a response to Trump’s statement against NATO last week

leathalbeast:
don't be overconfidence coz Ghana is also looking for a coach. You guys better hold on to him well before we snatch him from u.

make una manage Tom Saintfeit and leave Paseiro alone, no be every soup una go dey shook una hand inside

Nigeriagood:
On Tuesday, the Equatoguinean Football Federation issued a statement announcing Nsue’s suspension due to “significant indiscipline,” keeping him out of international duty until more evidence surface

aaah, afcon highest goal scorer, who e offend?

Not bad if you ask me, looks like the coach still wants to work with the players he must have formed a bond with. If he wants to stay we should extend his contract.

Profile of Angola coach whose contract ends in June 2024

you dey front for this guy?

jihday:
Egypt coach to Afcon was on a 200k salary. These Northafrican countries get bastard money

Can you blame Paseiro for thinking or looking at that direction? If na me I no go think am twice

elyte89:
I am indifferent about this anyway…but I am sure jpes will want to stay ,baba no get any option

I hear Algeria is on his radar

elyte89:

MetalJigsaw:
Is AFCON ’25 going to be next year or in two years time?

TheGoodJoe:

I disagree. His response is so unprofessional. These so called bullies are mostly kids on social media trying to be funny. Ignore them and focus on those emanating love.

the same unprofessional response that got Uzoho to where he is today. . I can bet you if Umar comes back to the national team and plays rubbish, his backlash will be worse.
