Chukwueze in Hot Waters for Mocking His Teammates for Being Committed Despite Unpaid Allowances

A video has emerged of an interaction between Super Eagles player, Chukwueze and his teammates ahead of the match against Morocco at the ongoing Nations Cup.

In the viral clip, Chukwueze was seen mocking his teammates, Nwabali and Bassey, for risking their bodies to play despite unpaid allowances and bonuses.

In the clip, Nwabali said, "I never see anything," and Chukwueze replied:
"Una get mind sha o, you haven't seen your money and you were defending with your life and delaying the time, you even almost inj¥red your knee."

Many Nigerians are now criticizing him over his statement and linking it to his missed penalty kick during the match against Morocco.

They are claiming the video exposes a lack of respect for teammates' commitment.

Not after the game, was before

Faith0:
Not after the game, was before

Does it matter if it was before or after. "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks".

Ok sir

This should be the last time he will be wearing the shirt.

One South Western boy missed penalty in the last match (Third place). Why everywhere quiet?

Northernblood7:
One South Western boy missed penalty in semi final. Why everywhere quiet?

Who?

COMRADES, so this boy is not patriotic? This means he missed the penalty deliberately

But na lie eim talk?

How did this get out from their phone?

This is what you get in a country governed by a cocaine sm0king drug baron cr!minal

Don't ask Nairaland members for contact details (email, phone, bbpin) or investments.

Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.

Chukwueze should be flogged 30 lashes before chased out of super eagles

This calls for a sober reflection as a country on how we conduct ourselves.

This is not the time for a Chukwueze blame culture.

In deed, every Nigerian is a Chukwueze, from top to bottom. No one really cares about this biitcch called Nigeria.

#Period

Why do Nigerians find it hard to pay people their money? As I am speaking like this there was a program we did 2 weeks ago up till now they still neva pay us. And this is not the first time something like this is happening. To think it is happening even in an international level is a shame to us as a people.

He isn’t in any hot water. He was clearly joking, and everyone knows it. Chukwueze jokes a lot, and we all know that.

Let’s avoid these unnecessary sensational headlines that only stir up needless hatred towards the young lad

You can go and drink otapiapia if you don't like what he said. Chukwueze did well; he knows the country too well.

E de really pain me when I see sports posts, sports o, football o, then una carry this una useless tribal comments enter. Person said something absolutely disgusting and all you have to say is this? I would really appreciate it if we could keep our football discussions focused on the sport itself, without bringing in tribal or religious aspects. Leave football news for me to read here in peace. Thank you so much.

You better go and replace him first 2028 abi when is the next AFCON.

Only serious country that pays on time can pull off that move

He should be removed from the National team asap.

Ask yourself before you bring tribal dimension to crucify him . Is Nigeraa worth dying for .

Timely payment or not, as long as you agreed to wear that shirt, such a thing should not be heard of you.

Let assume or agreed they did not pay them, it will have be wise for him not play the game, but he play and miss p...

Now his past hurt him.

Sometime we need to appreciate the opportunity given to us. Even if the country does not what it at times because they are alot of people who will play the football not for the money but love and pride for their country.

Nigerians will decide

Then do not bother entering the battle as if he were not happy to be drafted to represent Nigeria.

It was a joke, are you all too thick to see that?

Goo0dHardDick:

Throw away transparency and Excellency in the name of tribe and hatred.....

Why will you leave his points and be talking about punishing him because of the Government irresponsibilities

I said it earlier — the guy deliberately missed that penalty. Chelle should never invite him back to the Super Eagles again. Chukwueze hates Nigeria with a passion, and he is not alone.
