Super Eagles Team Sneaks Into Nigeria In Midnight Flight After AFCON Failure by ijustdey(op): 9:04am On Jan 25, 2022

The Super Eagles on Tuesday morning quietly returned to Nigeria from the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon without fanfare.

The players and officials returned via a chartered flight from Garoua, where they played four matches.

They arrived at 1:10am at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, received by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) officials.

The NFF officials were led by their General Secretary, Mohammed Sanusi, accompanied by the federation’s executive committee members Yusuf Ahmed and Shehu Dikko.

A large chunk of the players and officials came down from the aircraft, alongside a large number comprising members of the supporters’ club and media personnel.

The aircraft later headed to Lagos, where it dropped off the few remaining players and officials while the rest headed to the Transcorp Hilton.

Sanusi welcomed the players and praised them for their efforts in Cameroon, saying it was now time to look ahead to the task of qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

”You have tried your best. It was just unfortunate that you failed to reach the final. But, right now, what is left is the unfinished business of qualification for Qatar 2022,” he stated. “We should put behind us 2021 AFCON and start preparing for the final qualifiers.”

The team captain Ahmed Musa explained that the team had put behind them the disappointment of failing to reach its target at the 2021 AFCON.

”We are now looking forward to the World Cup qualifiers against Ghana’s Black Stars in March. But right now, it is back to club business for us,” he said.

The Super Eagles, after three wins in the competition’s first round, which earned the tag of favourites, could not go beyond the second round.

They lost 0-1 to Tunisia in a match that saw them reduced to 10 men just after the hour mark.

The players are expected to return to their respective clubs abroad in the next one or two days.

What made the failure more painful was the fact SE started off so perfectly with 3/3 wins & had the quality to go all the way to the Final & even lift the cup. Anyway they can pacify many fans with a World Cup ticket at expense of Ghana.
Though I don't want to acknowledge this Buhari factor, but he should kindly keep off during the forthcoming WC playoffs. There are certain occurrences in this life that defy logic & scientific explanations.

how this super eagles couldn't come up with a clean sheet victory against a damaged Covid 19 Tunisian team still baffles me. I don't believe in Jinx or Bad Omen but after putting one or two together I concluded with other angry masses that it was dat phone call that destroyed d super eagles.

BUHARI IS BAD LUCK

BUHARI IS REALLY A FAILURE

Buhari is a failure that we know,but to now called super Eagle and they failed to enter the next stage of AFON shows that buhari failure is contagious and verified.

Buhari have been calling Tinubu that I know
And Tinubu want to become president.
My friend affliction should not be allow to repeat itself
