One of the things that is hiding a great destiny is indiscipline

More reason why many are loaded but not needed.

As long as APC remains the ruling party in Nigeria, Nigeria will continue to struggle with things like this, including football, that's the truth. Leadership matters. Nigeria have the talents, the youth population to continually produce one of the best football and sport teams in the world, but due to bad leadership, we will continue to struggle with virtually everything national development and progress.


Super Eagles performance at today's match and in the whole of the world cup qualifying match have been woeful if we all can tell ourselves the truth. Congo DR deserved the win from the start of the match. Our first goal was just a lucky goal, nothing spectacular, just luck.

APC an evil party that condones and celebrate wicked, soulless men like Reno Omockery, Nyesome Wike, Godswill Apkabio, Bola Tinubu, Matawalle and co can never produce anything good, including in football matches like this world cup qualification match.


Nigeria's failure to qualify for world cup today was as a result of failed leadership of Nigeria nothing more or less. The forces of nature are against Nigeria in all ramifications, including in football matches like this that once gave Nigeria global recognition.


You cannot continue to neglect the lives of vulnerable and defenseless citizens cut short by soulless Jihadists for no justifiable reason while expecting God and nature to bless your nation and all it does. Nigeria need cleansing. Nigeria need spiritual purification and it can only come after APC and their evil occultic leaders are sent away, if not no way.



If Una like rebuild Super Eagles football team till eternity, forces of nature are working against Nigeria as a nation. Nigerians can succeed individually as people based on their individual efforts, grace and God's mercy on individuals and the families they represent, but collectively as a nation, Nigeria will continue to struggle until we start condemning evil, corruption and failed leaders irrespective of their tribes. Tinubu and APC have done so much evil against Nigerian citizens who got wasted away by Fulani herdsmen Militants, Jihadists and terrorists, tell me if those lost souls and their spirits will be happy with Nigeria? Innocent children, women, elders cut short and government does nothing, citizens do nothing, no nationwide outcry, instead they defend the killers, na football Una wan celebrate while people perish and suffer daily.


If you watch the match it was as if Super Eagles players were under a spell inside the football pitch not to perform, it was like a jinx was working on them inside the pitch, these guys play in their respective clubs and they do perform to some good extent but once they wear that Nigerian national Jersey, the jinx and spell overwhelms them.
You guys love to politicise everything, and your messiah still won't be president,
See facts below about football and even basketball under APC

⚽ Football

1. Men’s Senior National Team (Super Eagles)

Nigeria has not won the Africa Cup of Nations since 2015. Their last AFCON title was in 2013.

In the 2023 AFCON, Nigeria reached the final but lost.

Their U-23 team did win the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations in 2015 (the year APC came to power).

Also in 2015, Nigeria’s U-17 team (“Golden Eaglets”) won the FIFA U-17 World Cup.


→ So in men’s football, under APC (from 2015), at the senior level, they have no major continental trophies, though they had success at youth level (U-17 and U-23).


2. Women’s National Football Team (Super Falcons)

Nigeria won the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in the 2024 edition (played in 2025), bringing their total to 10 titles.

Prior to that, they had won WAFCON in 2016 and 2018.


→ So under APC, that’s 3 WAFCON titles: 2016, 2018, and 2024.

🏀 Basketball

1. Men’s Basketball (D’Tigers)

Nigeria won the FIBA AfroBasket in 2015 (right at the start of APC’s period in power).

According to FIBA, that is their only AfroBasket title so far.



2. Women’s Basketball (D’Tigress)

The D’Tigress have won three consecutive AfroBasket Women’s Championships during APC’s time: in 2017, 2019, and 2021.

According to a fact sheet from the Buhari-administration (2015–2023), that’s part of their achievements.





---

✅ Summary: Since APC came to power (2015–present)

Sport Number of Major Titles Won

Men’s Football (Senior) 0 AFCON titles
Men’s Football (U-23, U-17) 2 (U-23 AFCON in 2015; U-17 World Cup)
Women’s Football (Senior) 3 WAFCON titles (2016, 2018, 2024)
Men’s Basketball 1 FIBA AfroBasket (2015)
Women’s Basketball 3 AfroBasket Women’s Championships (2017, 2019, 2021)

Let's keep supporting corruption o...

Corruption sweet 😹😹😹😹
DR congo also has massive corruption and insecurity issues. Has had them for decades ( the last time they went to the world cup, their leader was Mobutu who at one time was richer than his country. Mobutu makes even abacha and tinubu look like very poor men self)

It's basically a worse version of Nigeria, in the rainforest.

The fact is, our national team has been bad for a very long time. Blame the NFF which doesn't develop polices like strengthening school sports, youth training, better funding, etc.

Blame our clubs also for not focusing on youth development and so forth.

We also changed coaches very late. Chelle has done well, but if we had gotten rid of Peserio earlier, maybe..

The world cup is only for serious countries.

Nigeria is not a serious country.

Your forecast was wrong
Of course it was. Except that it was right in goals coming before the 52nd minute.

Hmmm. Left to watch Italy v Norway after the Congo equaliser and equally left Gattuso and co at half time.

Well, won't say I was disappointed with the Eagles seeing the result this morning. I really didn't expect them to make the world cup.

We don't have an FA in deed, just in name. You cannot see their inputs in growing the game in Nigeria and unfortunately everyone else has caught up.

As for the team it is obvious who should continue and who should be dropped. Mistakes were made in the team selection today and it showed poignantly in the way and manner the goal was conceded. The midfield is dead and required a complete rebuild.

Chelle should continue. He is a decent gaffer. Let him take us to Morocco and possibly prepare the team for Saudi 2030.

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) Board is in urgent need of a thorough review and restructuring.
Too many issues continue to plague our national teams — Unmotivated players due to unpaid salaries, substandard accommodation during training camps, and several other issues. These challenges not only affect performance on the pitch but also tarnish the image of Nigerian football globally.
It’s time for real accountability, better management, and a renewed commitment to the growth of the game in Nigeria.
