In a sarcastic manner, @oku_yungx enumerated their names twice and referred to them as Lekki slay queens.
He warned that the NFF would have some explaining to do if those names get called up for the next AFCON tournament.

He advised NFF to go local
Speaking further, @oku_yungx advised the NFF to look towards the local league when scouting for players to represent the nation as the 'old heads need to rest.'
"...We have hungry heads ready to play their lives for the country wasting in our LOCAL LEAGUE. Send scouts to do their job.
"Jettison the old heads. They need to rest. You know them," he wrote.
He added that the Super Eagles need attacking midfielders, wingers and dare-devil strikers like Osimhen. He also appealed to NFF to get a local church and not interfere in his selection.

"Perfect, infact they should be sent away with immediate effect. Include that Yusuf, Moses Simon (this one couldn’t make a complete dribble), and Aina also should all be sent off the team.
"Nonsense!!!"

"I dunno mehn, but Iwobi did his job especially considering he was used in an unfamiliar role...he did very alright to me.

"We will take stock in the next two days, we will analyse Nigeria; even though we played them in the group stage, we will see the strategy to implement for the final," the coach said in an interview before the game.
