A Nigerian man has stirred debate online after sharing his opinion on the Super Eagles’ chances of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup following protests against DR Congo.
Nigeria lost to DR Congo in the CAF World Cup playoff final on November 16, 2025. The match ended 1–1 in regulation time before DR Congo secured a 4–3 victory on penalties.
On December 15, 2025, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) filed a formal complaint with FIFA, alleging that DR Congo fielded up to nine ineligible players during the match.
Reacting to the situation, an X user identified as @bamskyee said Nigeria does not deserve to qualify through a legal reversal.
According to him, DR Congo has worked hard for the spot and deserves their qualification. He indirectly connected the Super Eagles’ failure to win the AFCON 2025 and also win against Congo during the playoff to the reason they do not deserve the spot on the FIFA World Cup table.
His post reads:
“FIFA set to deliver a crucial ruling on Monday. I am a Nigerian, but this is corruption at its peak. FIFA should allow DR Congo to go to the World Cup because they worked hard for it and deserve it. Nigeria does not deserve a spot because they failed.”
