AFCON 2021: Buhari, Okoye- Nigerians react to Super Eagles exit following loss to Tunisia
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The three-time AFCON kings campaign in Cameroon came to an end after a disappointing loss to the North Africans 

Nigeria’s Super Eagles were dumped out of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon after a 1-0 loss to the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia.

The Super Eagles were big favourites to progress to the quarterfinals because of their form, and the Covid-19 issues with the Tunisians.

Prior to the fixture, the Carthage Eagles had lost two of their matches in the group stage, while Nigeria had a 100% record.

However, form was thrown out the window as the Tunisians reigned supreme. A second-half effort from Youssef Msakni, and a poor red card to Alex Iwobi changed the complexion of the game.

Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari had a video call with the team before the game, and many Nigerians bantered that the President was responsible for the loss. Some also threw stones at the team for their performance.

Buhari: Finally jinx Super Eagles, and we're out of Afcon.
We need a committee to look into this ? https://t.co/QfDlmS2O04

He destroyed the economy. Pigeons refused to fly. Anthony Joshua lost his match. He called the Super Eagles & voooom, they were knocked out.

Whatever you do in life, avoid Buhari.

Buhari received Idobale from Anthony Joshua, Anthony Joshua had his first career lost.

He called Super Eagles they were knocked out of #AFCON2021 .

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Maduka Okoye did not have it so well on Instagram, as some Super Eagles fans attacked the Sparta Rotterdam goalkeeper for his error.
