“Una No Get Shame Nigerians Drag Super Eagles’ X Account Over France World Cup Exit Banter The official X account of Nigeria’s Super Eagles has sparked reactions online after mocking France following the European giants’ exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The account posted a taunting message aimed at France after their elimination from the tournament, a move that quickly attracted criticism from Nigerian football fans who questioned the timing and relevance of the post. Many Nigerians flooded the comment section, accusing the account of celebrating another country’s setback despite Nigeria’s own absence from the World Cup. Several users responded with the popular Nigerian expression, “Una no get shame asking why the national team’s platform was focused on France’s disappointment rather than addressing Nigeria’s own football challenges. The backlash came after France were knocked out of the competition, prompting football communities around the world to react to the unexpected result. While some fans found the banter entertaining, others felt the Super Eagles’ official account should maintain a more professional tone. Critics pointed out that Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, making the attempt to mock a participating nation uncomfortable for many supporters.

“Before laughing at others, we should fix our own problems,” one fan wrote, reflecting the sentiment shared by many commenters.

However, some supporters defended the post, describing it as normal football banter and arguing that social media interactions between national teams and fans are part of the entertainment surrounding major tournaments. The incident has renewed conversations about how national sports accounts should balance humour, fan engagement and professionalism, especially when representing a country’s football identity. The Super Eagles remain one of Africa’s most successful national teams, having won the Africa Cup of Nations three times and produced several generations of internationally recognised players. The team is currently focused on rebuilding and returning to major global competitions after recent qualification setbacks.
