Nigerians Blame Okoye, Buhari As Super Eagles Crash Out Of AFCON

Nigerians have directed their fury at Maduka Okoye and President Muhammadu Buhari over the sorrowful elimination of the Super Eagles at the African Cup of Nations (AFCON).

On Sunday, Tunisia stunned the Super Eagles of Nigeria with a 1-0 win to send Augustine Eguavoen's men home from AFCON.

However, on a lighter note, Nigerians blamed Buhari for calling the Super Eagles ahead of the game.

Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye also shared in the blame as it was stated that the goalie was carried away by the flood of ladies pining over him on social media over his good looks.

It was also stated that the hot goalkeeper only wanted to maintain his 'fine face' and was uninterested in manning the goal post.

See some of the comments on Twitter:

If you let Nigerian girls enter into your head too much, you’d get distracted. Ask Maduka Okoye.

It’s also imperative to note that the Super Eagles are losing for the first time in this tournament after President Buhari spoke to them via Video Call...

I prefer not to speak?

Iwobi sent off. Nigeria down to 10 men & trailing behind Tunisia by 1 nil.

Did Buhari actually call the Super Eagles on video before the match? ??
