Don't forget the jab that he is not learned

Silly standards they don't apply to others nor can they bear if applied to them.

I could put up with outright haters, it's the pseudo-lovers that disgust me

😂 Yes o I remember wella they say na illiterate im be awon moral instructors isonu

BankyGee:
...If they pass.

😂 I go lie for you?

Blueelf:
CAmeroon will beat them

The only reason they are a test is because they are the hosts and refrees will be biased towards them

Else, I am even more wary of CIV

Morocco is gonna win I know some folks wants Cameroon in the semi final but I doubt the host go Dey look Cameroon to stroll past them. The Cameroon team is young and experience at this stage is beginning to count

Danielnino00:
Some people, for no tangible reasons just develop dislike for certain people...over time, that dislike turns to hatred...
In Osimhen's case, it was after that spat with Finidi that many people brought their hatred to the limelight...
One thing I've observed in most controversies involving Osimhen is that he isn't always the instigator...starting from his feud with Napoli, issue with Finidi, his refusal to sign with Chelsea and now this.... It is his reaction to the issue that people always focus on rather than issue itself..
The fact is that not everybody is cool headed... people react to issues differently... Even Lookman that some people are praising as being cool headed, well brought up child had issue with his club too...


In the end, Osimhen is one of the most passionate player this country has ever produced, and that's based on facts!

Even before the Finidi case the hatred has been there from the last Afcon where Osihmen could only score one single goal. His offside slips has been a major source of that hatred being used as an excuse to justify that he’s not good enough which is funny for a player who has over 30 goals for his country in fact on this thread some folks downplay his goals tally by saying if not for that match against Seychelles or so. What about his transfer saga where many said he should take a wage cut to play in the epl all in the name of legacy. The player is not liked by so many in fact he is lucky he keeps scoring goals to regulate the hatred. Today he can’t dribble, tomorrow he can’t pass, another day na one on one matter all sorts of bunkum, ok shebi e Dey score still he can never be good in their eyes. There was even a time some here were accusing him of not being nice to his family which they say is a reason for big clubs not signing him. The matter long no be small 😂

BankyGee:
CIV bloody o... That their orange jersey dey make me see them like Netherlands seff 😂

If they reach final dem go win! That Amad guy na beast!

They must be stopped o!

Mujtahida:
If we tear this Algeria apart, we will send a tremor throughout Africa.

Morocco go Dey wait Una na that one gan na the real battle!

Another country that’s scary is CIV I pray Egypt stops them. I won’t be happy honestly seeing that country wins Afcon back to back I go cry sef 😂

Mujtahida:
Like Dannyxy said I noticed it was becoming toxic. People began to aim for his spirit. Not to correct him but to crush him. We will not allow that.

Dude is the most hated player in that squad when he does well those haters who come for him when he slips never comes out to even commend his efforts that’s how bad it is. If you observe many monikers who aren’t regular here all came out in droves to heap all sorts on him for that spat with his teammates and they will never change. Already he’s going to be scapegoat if Afcon is not won. They are just waiting 😂

minfelix:
Them dis ones want to bundle and fling cameroon out of the afcon🤣🤣🤣
Ref and VAR

😂 So you think Cameroon will win Morocco before?

If dem do anyhow dem go chop red card tire!

Clint02:
Past and present?

Present!

ThunderFireAgba:
Those people hoping that FIFA final verdict on the eligibility of Congolese players, How Far??
Or are you still hoping on NFF to update you guys??
Otilo.
Na NFF u go dey put hope

Make Congo Dey World Cup abeg, if in Afcon we can have so much drama like this then imagine how World Cup will be. We go see raw physical fight on the pitch, hotel even inside team Bus. God abeg e don do make everybody Dey go their house. Can’t deal with this anymore 😂

Me I wan see that Congo mobile statue well well for World Cup. I go support them all the way! Sorry if I offend anyone with this. Enough is enough

Stats of where Afcon players were born.

France is seriously having huge impact on Afcon my God

semid4lyfe:
Algeria invited the DR Congo Lumumba super fan to their camp.

He was given their home jersey personalized with Lumumba's name and the away jersey with Amoura's name written on it.

Nice and classy gesture at the end from the Algerians.

Am glad to hear this. Thanks to all who condemned Amoura behaviour and shame to those who saw it as ordinary banter. Phew

TheSuperNerd:
Such a funny response. It's just like saying after CIV lost 4-0 to Equatorial Guinea at Afcon 2023 after we beat them 1-0, that they also were not a real test.

😂 na continuous assessment no be test

Mujtahida:
You are hitting your head against your own imagination.

A thing can happen where a man is reprimanded. However beyond a certain point, it starts looking like malicious attack. You beat a child with your right hand, you draw him close with your left hand.

Osimhen is our golden egg. Whether you guys like it or not. He's human. He erred. Not out of a selfish desire for self aggrandizement but due to his desire to win.

I saw many ungrateful, entitled Nigerians saying that what has he done sef. Gosshhhh I detest black people. That's why this race is one of the most backwardest race in the world. Stupid, ungrateful race. It never appreciates anything and that is why it never progresses because ingratitude is a stumbling block and the most ungrateful race is the black race.

Osimhen fa? Someone that was almost ready to die for us to qualify for the world cup. Look at that goal against Benin when he dipped his head right in front of the boot of the Beninoise defender. Do you know how many screws that young man has in his face? Yet today, just because of an on-field outburst, Nigerians say he's done nothing.

See them, people who are being raped by politicians daily and they offer no single resistance forming self righteous prudes condemning another man who is striving to bring honor to the country.

What he did is bad. Our condemnation must be measured and marked by grace rather than this rashness I see you spewing.

Even if we win Afcon they will continue to condemn him, Delaw you don’t know Nigerians enough! The great keshi with all he did was condemned like a criminal!

Samueltemi337:
When we win Algeria don't be surprised to see people talk down on the Algeria team

No be naija? 😂 in 2013 they say na by luck we win na.

TheSuperNerd:
Chriskels, You no dey tire? Rest this thing nau, Nwanna.

Una go get headache ooo

😂 Shebi if we start our own some folks will say we should move on or we are getting emotional but the bashing can continue and everyone will be happy that it’s ok. The hypocrisy here eee 😂

AndSunGorilla:
What if NFF has been posting dem since by making unfulfilled promises.
Remember dat time wey u dey tell oga landlord to come next week until next week reach 2 years!!!!

😂 😂 😂 you dey talk from experience Abi

But seriously the players shouldn’t be 4 games gone before demanding their pay. Immediately after two games if you aren’t paid then you shouldn’t be showing up for the next. They know the nff well so they should not be allowing stuff drag that long. I will always find it difficult to be totally on the side of the players.

This will surely tell on our next match, no cap!

Danielnino00:
NFF! NFF!! NFF!!

Why is it so hard to do simple things properly in this country??

Pay them their bonus FGS!


Abi Na mind game??

😂 let’s hope it’s a mind game. The only issue I have with our players why is it when they want to play a game they are not sure about they come up with this stunts. They should have done this immediately after first round games especially having qualified for the second round knockout

Hugo broos complaining about lack of European based players 😂

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos says the team was at a disadvantage because some of the teams that were at the AFCON have most of their players playing in European leagues. He says SA players need to get the opportunity to go to Europe and be challenged more. @Yolulwe_Qoshe… pic.twitter.com/YBRloVTqc6

Southies as usual don abuse am tire as they can never accept reality 😂

zicky:
if Osihmen say he wants to go back to his club they should leave him. He will sit out and heaven will not fall.

Very good 👍

FiveFootNinja:
It was a distasteful celebration to be honest. It would have made sense if they did the Congo fimbu celebration dance to troll the Congolese. That Lumumba mockery was out of order given the context.

I know I shouldn’t be saying this but I’ll surely like to see that guy in the stands at the World Cup. The guy go hammer 😂 cos he will be a global phenomenon! He’s a great example of patriotism that should be encouraged!

Make Una no come for me o abeg o 😂

zicky:
Banter, That's the beauty of football (AFCON) nothing to fine or punish there.

That’s a banter gone too far, that Congolese deserve better respect than that. The best way as an opponent who has won Congo is to even go over to the fellow and take pics with him in the spirit of sportsmanship.

Kog45:
Oga Goke,things don die down nau,well check this out,not Osimhen vs Lookman oh but check Lookman stats especially creation of chances cuz to you he is very selfish

Ok let’s osihmen sit out the next game since Lookman can now lead the line. I’ll support this 💯

EEGA:
Osimhen is the only indispensable player in SE.

We beat Benin 4-0 without Lookman (suspended as a result of accumulation of yellow cards).

Chukwueze had 2 assists in that game with only 45mins played.

Osimhen deserves some respect.

Pass the ball to your striker or it is perceived as sabotage.

Lookman shouldn't have interfered.

We've Lookman's replacement on the bench, who grabbed 2 assists against Tanzania, but non on the bench can deputize for Osimhen.

We don't need any form of apology from Osimhen.

Gala in Turkey reveres him, but we belittle his achievements in SE colours.

Till you produce a striker similar or at the same level with VO9, pls always pass the ball.

Chelle can't drop VO9, but will advise his players to always pass the ball to their striker.

Every team relies on their striker for goals.

Immediately Osimhen got injured and was receiving treatment on the sidelines,the Carthage eagles(Tunisia) raised the tempo of the game, attacking the SE left with quick transitions from defence to midfield and then attack.

He possesses that fear factor that stops defenders and midfielders from attacking (defensive cautiousness on the part of the opponent).

Go!Go!!Go!!! Super Eagles.

We don’t deserve the guy, I pray he quickly surpasses the Yekini record and retire from the national team I don’t even care about any yeye trophy anymore. Most of the other players can’t even score when he’s not on the pitch, they need him more on the pitch to even score their own goals and yet he’s the problem. 45 minutes against Congo in the playoffs our entire attack went dead and it’s not like players no Dey o! But we keep deceiving ourselves we can do without him Oya let’s try it and see.

All over the world it’s when you have better options or good enough alternatives that you can easily freeze any player out of the team but if you have no better option you stick with you have, manage it and get your desired result. It’s only in Nigeria you’ll hear trash even when there’s no better solution just deceit upon deceit.

Akkin:
Osimehn shouldn't have reacted like that because the only reason why you would lose a 3 up advantage is poor defence...he should've been clamoring for mass defense and high possession of the ball not more goals especially when few minutes remained

That's what they need to be doing against Algeria....score early,score at least 2 or three,mass defend and possess the game till the last minute

The best form of defence is to attack especially when you have a very potent one no matter how many goals you’re leading, you kill off the game as quick as possible. Do you know many goals Germany used in defeating Brazil in a semi final match in the 2014 World Cup Brazil hosted? 7 clean goals that made the players cry like babies and the president consoling all of them so all these excuses you’re giving for Lookman childish behaviour no enter at all and it’s not a good sign that shows how serious we are.


Your defence is weak if you like score 3 or 4 goals against Algeria until the final whistle is blown you haven’t won the game. And any player saying goals are enough is so silly

TheSuperNerd:
See wetin Algeria's Amoura do to the "Statue" of DRC. Now that is what you call wickedness. We must deal with Amoura on Saturday. No breathing space for that Wolfsburg midget

He was thinking about this😭😭 pic.twitter.com/I4CFPEehuI

— Fantasy (@UgubaJ) January 6, 2026

CAF suppose to punish the player as that was too provocative, yes that mobile statute 😂 as annoying as it is especially playing against Congo brought so much glamour to the competition and am happy to see the CAF president meeting and taking photos with the guy to recognise the colour he added to the AFCON.

Amoura shouldn’t be doing this and his FA should be fined if they don’t want to punish the player directly.

Odunayaw:
+1

Glory to God

It’s your birthday no be plus 1 Happy birthday 🎂 my dear comrade! More blessings and grace

ChrisKels:
Adegoke rest abeg. We were in control of the game. Yes, Osimhen was right to call for more goals, but Lookman wasn't wrong to ask to take things easy as the shout on Bruno was disrespectful, but Osimhen was totally wrong to have reacted childishly the way he did.

I no go rest make Lookman try that shit against Algeria whether things no go blur for am. He suppose chop better slap for that yeye talk. I no get time. Where was the same Lookman when we played SA away in the wcq, where was he against Congo? If he no sabi talk make e getat.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol. Patrice Lumumba is the name of their former leader who this fan imitates. His own name is Michel Kuka Muladinga aka Lumumba Dea.

He returns to Kinshasa to have a chat with the real Lumumba statue he was emulating, to find out why this stunt failed.

😂 boss be nice small I no know say you wicked like this haba, na only you waka come 😂

ChrisKels:
Lookman is mature and cultured. Now we know why the childish one is playing in Turkey in his prime. He should be sent home.

Your striking partner told you to take things easy that you already have two goals and there was no need to be over stressing, and you started throwing stewpid tantrums as if he was competing with you for anything. Osimhen should be banned from the national team abeg.

This is bulshit and very unprofessional from Lookman, let him try it against Algeria who can equalise the yeye two goals he was talking about. So it’s now a crime to be hungry for more goals because someone has two. Shebi it’s because it was Mozambique. Osihmen you guys are bashing is the one that’s more mature to know that after what happened against Tunisia it’s the wisest thing to pump in as more goals as possible. This gentle nature of Lookman that’s deceiving all of you, I will be here to mock all those that will complain again by the time the same Lookman starts playing like the way he was doing during the wcq and some were already saying he should be benched. You folks forget the past easily. Make una continue

That moment figurine returned to normalcy 😂

CIV has been unplayable so far.

Their attack with Amad is scary. This is not same civ in the last Afcon
