Don't Come To The Super Eagles If You Know You Are Not Ready To Give Everything - Bovi Blasts Super Eagles Following AFCON Exit

Popular Nigerian comedian, Bovi Ugboma, has blasted the Nigerian national team, Super Eagles, over their loss in the African Cup of Nations Semi-final against Morocco on Thursday, January 14.

In a viral video broadcast, Bovi, obviously reeling from the painful exit, emphasized the importance of football as a tool of 'unity in nigeria.' He admonished the players and intending players to remember that their participation in the national team is a potential to unite the country.

He added that the weight of the country lies in their hands, stressing that they should not bother playing for the national team if they're not ready to give their best.

He said: "Football is the only thing that unites Nigeria. So dear Super Eagles and intending Super Eagles, have it in mind that if you are playing for Nigeria, regardless of how the NFF treats you, understand that you have the potential to unite Nigerians.

I forgive Samuel Chukwueze for missing a penalty. But you need to understand that the weight of a nation lies in your hands. But if you go for glory before victory, more often than not, you will become the victim…

“Don’t come to the Super Eagles if you know you are not ready to give everything for the nation. If NFF delays your payment, let it go. Social media has distracted you all, and the praise got to your heads. Not just from this tournament, but also previous tournaments. You don’t understand that the fans don’t like you, they like what you do.”

Recall that The Super Eagles of Nigeria saw their AFCON quest come to an abrupt end, following their 2-4 penalty shootout loss to the host, Morocco in Rabat.
