If as a Nigerian, you didn’t watch that match yesterday and cheer them on, you are part of the problem in this country 😁

Although we played very well but We are lucky they used Ondoa who happened to be a cousin to Onana and very incompetent at his job, no wonder an 18year old boy is picked as first choice in his club . As worse as Onana is I don't think that weak shot would have escaped him. Thank God Cameroon no get better goalkeeper to the advantage of our country.
Exactly. I told someone during the match that Cameroon made a mistake not fielding Onana. They allowed emotions get the best of them. Onana would have caught that Lookman's weak shot

Osimhen really tried yesterday

He was constantly challenging for the ball thus giving the cameroonian defenders no breathing space at all
Osimhen was playing like a gladiator who took an oath before zeus. He was on double warrior mode.

It's actually a worrisome thing that Osimhen is the best footballer Africa has to offer this period...
I have always thought that I am the only one battling this prevailing culture of mediocrity in Africa's recent footballing sector.

You're the one causing problem here. You're an agent of division.

No matter the way you wanna hide it still pops out from you.

Shut that useless mouth of yours.
Wat sort of life do some of u even live??
Wat has brought about Yoruba and Igbo in this now?
Is Osimhen an Igbo man?
Did u even read the actual thing CAF said about his fighting spirit that brought d first goal. God-forbid this kind of person.

Onana would have save those two goals.

The two shots from Lookman were all weak.

Osimhen is actually a big threat to any opponent. As it is right now, any country playing Nigeria seems to be focusing more on Osimhen, while other players are doing the irreparable damages to our opponents.

I wish Victor Boniface was not injured pre-tournament so that he would have assisted in diverting too much attention from "The Lion of Africa," Osimhen!
Our ignorant coach should pair him with ihenacho for him to flourish more,the guy didn't go to AFCON for decor

His passion and aggression is a good attributes of world class strikers. He will do excellently well in a well structured teams like Man City or Real Madrid. No strikers from Africa origin possessed the same quality at this moment, so he is indeed a Lion of Africa as was called by CAF.

You are right but Madrid will be a good fit for him, he can’t play in man United or Chelsea for instance else he will have to work extra else career is gone.

You guys should stop this already, after yesterday's game if you don't see any exceptional trait of a good player in Osihmen then you have a problem with appreciating good things.

That young man deserves all the praises he is receiving at the moment. What makes a player an excellent one? Go and watch that game again, the guy is not that type of average striker who waits for ball to get to him before attempting to score. He hustles for the ball, he is all over the pitch ensuring that his team is on track, there is hunger for winning in him.

How many strikers currently in the whole world are better than him? What he needs to bang goals for us is a creative midfielder. The balls are not reaching him well, he goes to source for ball himself. Appreciate whose is doing well.

So Onana and Ondoa are cousins?

How true is this?
