Nigerian rapper Tobechukwu Ejiofor, popularly known as Illbliss, recently made a bold statement about the Super Eagles, our national football team.
In response to their recent performance, Illbliss described the team as “lethargic, inconsistent, and confused,” much like the current state of the country’s governance.
On his X formally (Twitter) handle, he wrote, “The Super Eagles is a reflection of the government. “Lethargic. Inconsistent. Confused…”
The Super Eagles’ embarrassing 2-1 defeat in the 2026 World Cup qualifying series against Benin Republic seems to have drawn this comparison.
Illbliss believes that the team reflects the Nigerian government’s own challenges. It’s an interesting perspective that highlights the intersection of sports and national affairs.
Nigeria is yet win a match in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers and remains 5th in Group C with 3 points.
