Nigerians have said that the national team, the Super Eagles, crashed out of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2021 after President Muhammadu Buhari called and spoke with the players in Cameroon.
Watch the video:
The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency @MBuhari @NGRPresident spoke with the entire team today. We are grateful and we will do everything to keep making Nigerians happy. #SoarSuperEagles #Team9jaStrong #AFCON2021 pic.twitter.com/83a4Bg1jok

Reacting to the call, however, Nigerians said the call was a bad omen as the match ended in the favour of the opponents.
Below are a few examples:
Who gave Buhari the team phone Number??? 😑#Badomen #AFCON2021

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! #AFCON2021 #TableShaker

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

Anthony Joshua was minding his business. Eguavoen & the Super Eagles were doing a good job. Until Buhari decided to show his face.
Everything Buhari touches…..🌚🥶

Anthony Joshua snapped pictures with Buhari.
He lost his next bout.Buhari paid a visit to the Falcons, they lost scandalously at the AWCON.
Buhari called super eagles, and oh well.
Not saying anything, but baba yen n gbe epe dani.

5 reasons we fumbled AFCON:
~ Nigerian women interest in Football Twitter: Maduka Okoye is the weak link
~ Buhari's prayers: which are actually curses
~ Desmond Elliot: thunder still has to fire him
