Amid growing excitement for the Super Falcons’ crucial match in Morocco, reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may be attending the game in person tonight have sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians with many expressing panic rather than joy.
This concern stems from a longstanding superstition among football fans: the belief that whenever a sitting Nigerian president publicly backs or visits the national team, it often ends in disappointment.
Social media has been buzzing with comments from fans begging the president to support the team from home, fearing that his presence might jinx the Super Falcons’ chances of victory.
Despite the unease, many remain hopeful that the team’s performance will defy history and bring glory to the nation.
Time to start the game this night?
