Ahead of FIFA’s decision on the World Cup eligibility dispute between Nigeria and DR Congo, a journalist shared what his source told him regarding the ruling.
The individual took to his page to react to a statement and revealed what he had heard from his source.
Before his statement, a media user, @TheKayodeBadmus, had spoken about the petition filed by Nigeria against DR Congo.
He said the petition filed by Nigeria is a valid one, noting that FIFA might have rejected it if it were not. He added that it is a legitimate case.
The user @TheKayodeBadmus had posted this online.
“Everybody knows what DR Congo did. They might scale through, but the petition was valid. If it was a frivolous request, I am certain FIFA wouldn’t just throw it out—they would have penalised the NFF. But everyone knows it’s a valid protest, irrespective of the outcome.”
After coming across the post, the journalist @QualityQuadry, explained that his source had given him feedback about the case filed against DR Congo by Nigeria.
According to his source, it is a lost case for Nigeria as they’re likely not to play in the World Cup.
His statement:
“Thank you, brother. People never believed we had a case until I started talking about it. The source that was giving me info told me yesterday that it’s now a lost case. I’m fulfilled because our petition was valid, and I never regretted being so optimistic that we would win the case.”
He added in another post:
“He said we should forget about it.”
