Nigerians are blaming President Muhammadu Buhari for the failure of the Super Eagles to beat Tunisia that struggled to qualify for the round of 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nigeria lost 1-0 to Tunisia at the Roumde Adija Stadium in Garoua in Cameroon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nigerian team were stunned by the Eagles of Carthage in a match that was predicted to go in the way of the Super Eagles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately for the favourites, they were defeated by Tunisia whose 12 squad members and five coaching crew members missed out due to Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buhari on Sunday charged the Super Eagles to continue to make Nigerians happy by defeating Eagles of Carthage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said via zoom, \u201cI want to thank you for what you have done for the nation so far. You have to keep winning. Nigerians are proud of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have demonstrated patriotic zeal and a high level of discipline, determination and commitment in all the games you have played so far, and that is why we all are happy with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe government will continue to support you within available resources at our disposal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But reacting to the loss, Reno Omokri, a critic of Buhiri said, \u201cIwobi red card, Iheanacho yellow card. All the time they have been playing this never happened. Why is it that it is the day they spoke to Buhari that these series of unwelcome events rained on us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEnergies are very contagious. Avoid negative people!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
@damidawson tweeted, \u201cThe second I heard Buhari called the Super Eagles, I knew it won\u2019t probably end well Weary face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is something about Bubu and how he expresses himself, the effect is always slow and uncertain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
@I_Am_Ilemona tweeted,\u201dNever conceded first until he called them. No red card till he called them. What he cannot destroy does not exist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
@docneto tweeted, \u201cWe conceded a goal got a get red card. He would have listed sports as achievement if we had won.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
