After suffering a humiliating loss to Portugal in a World Cup warm-up match, Ghanaians have taken a jibe at Nigeria, noting that the loss justifies why the country won’t be participating at the World Cup in Qatar.
Nigeria were downed 4-0 on Thursday night in Lisbon by a superior Portugal side.
A brace from Bruno Fernandes in the first half, and a goal each from Goancalo Ramos and Joao Mario ensured that the Super Eagles left the Estadio Jose Alvalade with the bitter taste of defeat.
Recall that Ghana are responsible for Nigeria’s absence at the World Cup after the Black Stars pipped them to the qualifying ticket on two legs in March.
Making a mockery of Nigeria on social media, some Ghanaians asserted that Nigeria’s performance against a ‘Ronaldo-less’ Portugal is a proof to why the country could not qualify for the World Cup.
Read tweets:
Portugal 4-0 Nigeria!
And that’s why these cousins are not going to the World Cup.
They would have just gone to disgrace us all!

So if Nigeria qualified for the World Cup this is the performance they’d have displayed. They can’t even score common Portugal. Ghana can’t too but we qualified tho.

Portugal smash a very bad Nigerian team 4-0 in friendly
That will make them think they will whip us too
But they don’t know they have been deceived because that Super Eagles team is just bad 😂
