2026 WCQ: ‘Nwabali not different from Onana’ – Nigerians react to Super Eagles’ win over Lesotho

Some Nigerian football fans have reacted to the Super Eagles’ 2-1 win against Lesotho in their 2026 World Cup qualifier on Friday.

DAILY POST reports that goals from William Troost-Ekong and Akor Adams gave Nigeria the victory against Lesotho.

Nigeria will now face the Benin Republic next Tuesday in Uyo in their final Group World Cup qualifier.

Following the match, supporters took to their X accounts to share their thoughts on the game.

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from X:

@middlechighld: “Nwabali is no different from Onana. His goalkeeping decisions are almost comical.”

@RockyPosh: “Not an impressive performance though.”

@jaustinuche: “Nwabali needs to be benched. His performance was absolutely horrendous.”

@Fazlurfarah: “Well, after all the wobbling and fumbling of this team and the stupidity of @thenff, this is still a good result. I believe Nigeria will still qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.”

@muawiya_sarina: “Nwabali should not start in our next game, please.”

@Joj0xn: “No be small miscommunication una do for that last minute.”

@mimshach_md: “If someone doesn’t give Nwabali a spank on the head in that dressing room, I’ll be upset.”

@bodybyamadi1: “Nigeria’s probably gonna miss their second straight World Cup tournament, and I’m fine with that. This team isn’t ready for the big stage — just focus on AFCON and international matches. I’ll still support them, but still.”

@Lilwizprince: “Congratulations on winning the battle, but the war ain’t gonna come this easy! Make una do better.”
