A Twitter user said, ”Buhari has carried his bad luck to Super Eagles. We won’t win this AFCON. It’s official”.
According to a Twitter User, @HenrySheild, he tweeted, ”May Buhari never call you”.
Another tweep user @Reno Omokri said, Iwobi 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! Energies are very contagious. Avoid negative people.
I remember Anthony Joshua was doing very well, the same with the Super Eagles, Until Buhari decided to call them.
May we never receive any call, that will take us from top to bottom. Amen pic.twitter.com/0rFk4R6eBY
