Angry fans on Tuesday night stormed the pitch after Nigeria lost a ticket to the World Cup forcing security forces to disperse then with tear-gas.
Some facilities in the MKO Abiola Stadium were destroyed. The main bowl of the stadium where the match took place was rehabilitated by billionaire, Aliko Dangote, free of charge over a year ago.
On social media, others thought Nigeria did not deserve to be at Qatar 2022. Nigeria drew with Ghana 1-1 in Abuja with Ghana giving the other West African country a berth at football biggest tourney.
Two of the comments:
An Insurance Professional:▪︎We deserve this (loss) now. The mood does not justify any victory in any match. One eye cannot be weeping and another one rejoicing!?
▪︎Imagine all the families in sorrows now. close to 920
▪︎We should go and sit down Egbon (senior)
A newspaper man: ▪︎ Haba!! What is sad in that?? What is bad in losing to a better or luckier side???.Lets keep life moving sir.
