2026 WCQ: ‘Nwabali not different from Onana’ – Nigerians react to Super Eagles’ win over LesothoPu

Some Nigerian football fans have reacted to the Super Eagles’ 2-1 win against Lesotho in their 2026 World Cup qualifier on Friday.

DAILY POST reports that goals from William Troost-Ekong and Akor Adams gave Nigeria the victory against Lesotho.

Nigeria will now face the Benin Republic next Tuesday in Uyo in their final Group World Cup qualifier.

Following the match, supporters took to their X accounts to share their thoughts on the game.

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from X:

@middlechighld: “Nwabali is no different from Onana. His goalkeeping decisions are almost comical.”

@RockyPosh: “Not an impressive performance though.”

@jaustinuche: “Nwabali needs to be benched. His performance was absolutely horrendous.”

@Fazlurfarah: “Well, after all the wobbling and fumbling of this team and the stupidity of @thenff, this is still a good result. I believe Nigeria will still qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.”


@muawiya_sarina: “Nwabali should not start in our next game, please.”

@Joj0xn: “No be small miscommunication una do for that last minute.”

@mimshach_md: “If someone doesn’t give Nwabali a spank on the head in that dressing room, I’ll be upset.”


@bodybyamadi1: “Nigeria’s probably gonna miss their second straight World Cup tournament, and I’m fine with that. This team isn’t ready for the big stage — just focus on AFCON and international matches. I’ll still support them, but still.”

@Lilwizprince: “Congratulations on winning the battle, but the war ain’t gonna come this easy! Make una do better.”

Onana is doing well in his new club. Nwabali needs to step up his game, he's making too many costly errors

atobs4real:
Shit happens sometimes. Thank God it didn't cost us much.
Congratulations Super Eagles
We are no more super chicken

The guy should just calm down, I saw some comments on X already suspecting sabotage

That match was a disaster. That goalkeeper was paid to cost the eagles the match. He plays in the South African league after all. I have never seen such incompetence from a goal keeper before.

The eagles will not qualify for the world cup and I am fine with that. The team is mediocre and has no future. There is no way the eagles can beat Benin.

They are not far from the Truth. It's almost like it's premeditated

They observed that most of his throws were to opponents and that error that almost cost us 3 points, no serious attempt to run back to ensure the ball doesn't go in...as in it was just somehow
