E no get who dem put sugar for mouf wey no go lick am. Shame ko shame ni

Super eagles will fly to the World Cup next year 😉🥰🤣🤣🤣

some mumu fans dey talk of shame. Wetin concern me with shame. Gbewa joor.

yinkeys:
Can we beat this Mbeumo, Anguissa & Cameroun if we replay WCQ 2026 in Morocco?
Most local Nigerian fans just want Osimhen at the World Cup
Our federation & football don’t deserve it

Like we do all this wahala and Cameroun now wins us. Chai, the embarrassment will be colossal

Toylove:
The law, why haven’t you put us through the technicalities of this case, Abi na only to Dey do “D law” for that Tonga coach you sabi ni 😋😋

I like to reduce legal technicalities to its most basic. The point is that if as we read Congo's law prohibits dual citizenship, fielding players with dual nationality automatically means they fielded ineligible players. I see comments online from Congolese saying what is Nigeria's concern with Congolese citizenship laws. Well we have no concern with their laws. Our only concern is whether they fielded eligible or ineligible players. Surely that is a matter that impinges on FIFA's laws.

charlesemeka85:
Congo’s congo must be shined 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

properly

TheSuperNerd:
By next week, na still same story we go hear. Tonga, Samoa, even Palestine wey play for FIFA Arab Cup no fit hire u because u no follow. U need go upgrade at TheGoodJoe's School of coaching and tactics. Your Haram Route 1 don cast before e take off.

Be careful.

charlesemeka85:
Shebi I beg u mk u take that Tonga 🇹🇴 job u no gree

There are rumors that Chelle will leave in February. My client will resume duties and take us to the Intercontinental playoffs.

Do you guys remember we used to have one colorful character here called Congo shiner.

Well, it's time to shine the Congo of Congo (through the backdoor, if I may add) 😂😂

Joebie:

Actually I've been laughing on this Congo issue. It's funny one kind

charlesemeka85:

I don too suffer.

charlesemeka85:

The guy na swegbe. I been dey very enthusiastic about am but he disappointed me.

Joebie:
As long as their passports are not forged, they are citizens of DRC. In other words their country gave them a waiver for Sports purposes.

Lookman and every person who has one Nigerian grandparent (think Ashley Plumptre) are citizens of Nigeria. Why didn't we just hand them passports and viola feature them?

elyte89:
The match was not an official game ,so it won’t be part of chelles record meanwhile he be like say Congo ppu knw say dem flaunt deir laws o

😂😂😂 You and this Congo matter ehn

QueenJazz:
After reading countless comments both here and on X, I still insist that people temper their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup. This case doesn't feel as strong as the SA Mokoena case to me. FIFA might look at it as the NFF just splitting hairs. Then again it depends on how involved FIFA themselves were in the push of this case, as alleged by certain people.

For me I think the strongest case we have here is the falsification of documents that were submitted to FIFA. If truly DRC presented fake or tampered documents to FIFA, then that's a serious case that might even lead to DRC's suspension or expulsion from competitive football entirely. That's a very grave accusation and one that I believe FIFA won't let slide no matter the context.

Time will tell how true this is and if the NFF truly have evidence for this or it's an exaggeration.

At the end of the day, I'd rather err on the side of caution and assume we don't have a case. It's better to be pleasantly surprised than painfully disappointed. Again.

I was 100% convinced during the South Africa point deduction and Eritrea withdrawal saga.

This one, I'm about 35% convinced, which isn't enough to raise my hopes.

If I perish, I perish. See you in America next year. In sha Allah.

humility33:
So The coach still doesn't know that Onauchu is not tailored for Africa football.
I will prefer Tolu and Moffi to start ahead of Onauchu, dude is not good for Africa blend of football


Well I thank God we have Akor and Oshimen

Don't mention Tolu again oo. He's wearing blouse now. We have seconded him to the Falcons.

Subzero0477:
I see we have been sucked into the Onuachu vortex again

Sad

He always flatters to deceive. I've said it: once you are tall like Onuachu and Tolu, otilor for you. I will never select you.

chrisooblog:
Hmmm D'Law I no to sure again o. Some respected journalists and analysts who's opinion I value a lot as saying otilor.

Me I don commot mind can't give myself false hope.

We can't suffer more than we already have. All I know, you see that world cup, naija must dey there.

jihday:
See the Onuachu you people are always clamoring for

😂😂😂 Tolu oo, Sadiq oo, Onuachu ooo. Once you tall like that you will never make my team if I were a coach unless you are exceptional like Kanu

Papi85:
FIFA president don pass judgement

Real Infantino 😂😂

Odunayaw:
😂 I don't even know what fate sees in us that we get rewarded with these lifelines

If we scale this, it will be mad to see another "drama" at the Intercontinental level.

This little hope, GBEWA!!

Gbewa oo, Kia Kia

Bannedlargejr:
You must be an illiterate. Wetin consign fifa with nationality law? If I fictitiously obtain another National team passport and send it to fifa, they should clear me when it was an obvious Theft? The only way that I see congo getting out of these is for the aforementioned players clearly indicating with Documented evidence of their Renouncing their other national team passport with evidence. For example, Aaron wan bissaka has to disclose with documentation of his renounciation of his British passport prior to November 11. Anything contrary, it sets a bad precedent on FIFA laws and its laws shouldn’t be respected. Players like Orban should be playing for the super eaglea

Be careful or else. This is the season of petitions.

Papi85:
the bar DRC will be disqualified

In sha Allah.

That moment where we are all waiting for the VAR to confirm if it was a penalty.

Fans are arguing: na pena, no be penarity. I say na penality. Oya naww make we wait.

This will be the longest VAR check in the history of football.

😂😂😂 Oma said it's Cameroun that did Congo dirty by filing the petition oo. I don laugh tire.

A lot of people asked about the DR Congo rumour, so I made this video to break it down properly. FIFA rules vs nationality laws. pic.twitter.com/8HTzacjpc4

If we use this route qualify, Africa go hate us the more 😂😂😂

chrisooblog:
D'Law e be like say na ya people go land us that ticket las las.

Bro. Chill. We dey go America.

QueenJazz:
The fact that we aren't making moves to cap Arthur Okonkwo and we're busy calling up Uzoho is giving me sleepless nights.

This country is cursed. Seriously.

Uzoho reminds me of those kind children those days wey watching film scarce die, wey don already manage enter the house wey dem dey watch home alone. Only for one senior to spot am and say hey you, you never baff. Oya go outside. Dem go rush quickly go baff, then hang for window. Any small opportunity, dem don run squeeze enter the house again.

Uzoho was one of the first people to hit camp. My man been hanging by the window of the team. Small opening, he rush enter. When I saw the people in camp and saw his name, I just laugh. Na player wey no sabi play dey rush first come camp.

charlesemeka85:
as I dey reason the matter I believe Fifa are the one ratting Congo DR out to us jus to smuggle super eagles in because without fifa it will be difficult for the Nigerian FA to know if certain DRC players completed their eligibility switch before turning out for them

FIFA have a hand on this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another angle. 🤔🤔

Mr. Congo come outside oo. Time to answer ya papa name oo. What's happening in Kinshasa?

charlesemeka85:
I swear, all way na way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My heart come dey warm small. I thought that I don hard pass football heartbreak but that game enter me. Now with this story - whether true or false - the cold wey dey my body don dey comot.

Goke7:
I don’t just want to argue initially but you nailed it here. Most of us Nigerians don’t understand how the western or global world works. Just like you said it’s all about documentation to verify any claim just like it was found out about the SA player who had two yellow cards to be suspended, was it documented that he was suspended? Of course yes and that’s it. It has nothing to do with what anyone said at any time but paper and documentation to back up any claim. What Congo needs to do is to back up whatever they claim with documentation or credentials as you call it and all arguments will cease including those talking about wuruwuru. In fact I will be happy for DRC if all documentation shows they are in order but if not o ti lo.

This your last sentence make me laugh.

People think it's personal but that's a projection of the Nigerian mind set where laws are not respected but are instead used as a tool to either favor one person or punish another person.

That's not Oyibo man's outlook. Outside the qualification process, Fifa does not care if Nigeria qualifies or not. They are not interested in favoring Nigeria or punishing Congo. Rather It's about the sanctity of the law. It's about consequences, it's about tomorrow.

If Congo failed to follow due process, the axe that fell on SA will fall on them. Shikena

semid4lyfe:
I'm embarrassed we're discussing a wuruwuru route to the world cup

Ko Kan mi 😂😂😂. All way na way. I'm shameless like that. The prophecy must be fulfilled.

QueenJazz:
D Law no gree for anybody 😂

Gidigba.
