Social media activist Verydarkman lambasted the Super Eagles players after their stunning 2-1 loss to Rwanda in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers. Despite securing top spot in their group with 11 points, Verydarkman slammed the team’s reliance on “mere luck” to win games, questioning their ability to secure trophies. Nigeria’s coach, Augustine Eguavoen, faced criticism for omitting key players like Victor Osimhen and Alex Iwobi from the starting lineup.
The Super Eagles’ underwhelming performance, including a struggling first half and conceding two quick goals, fueled Verydarkman’s frustration and sparked debate among fans about the team’s potential for future success.
