Chai! Matter don serious o! As we dey talk so for this Christmas day, December 25, 2025, the wahala between Nigeria and DR Congo don reach FIFA table and e dey steam hot!
NFF (Nigeria Football Federation) no gree at all; dem don carry their “vawulence” go FIFA, dey find justice for the Super Eagles.
The Full Tori (Update):
- Wetin dey Sup?
NFF don file heavy petition against DR Congo. Dem talk say the Leopards “play wayo” for that their 2026 World Cup playoff match wey happen last month (November 2025). Nigeria say DR Congo use nine players wey no suppose play because dem get “double nationality” wahala. - The “Wayo” Players:
Inside the list wey NFF submit, names like Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Axel Tuanzebe dey there. Nigeria dey argue say based on DR Congo law, you no fit hold two passports, so those players no qualify to represent dem for that match. - FIFA Response:
FIFA don gree say dem don receive the petition. Right now, their legal “ogbonge” committee dey check the files one by one. Dem never give final talk yet, but the matter dey for “Review Stage.” - DR Congo People No Gree:
The Congolese football people (FECOFA) don come out dey yab Nigeria. Dem say Super Eagles na “bad losers” and dem dey try win match for table instead of inside field. Dem say all their players “set” and nothing dey happen.
Wetin go happen if Nigeria win?
If FIFA look the matter say NFF get point, things fit change fast-fast:
- 3-0 Dashboard: FIFA fit dash Nigeria 3 points and 3 goals for that match.
- Back to World Cup: Nigeria fit take DR Congo place go play the Intercontinental Playoffs wey go happen for March 2026.
The Bitter Truth:
Football experts dey talk say the matter fit hard small because FIFA dey look “Sporting Nationality” (if the country give you passport), dem no too concern dem-self with each country’s internal law.
