May God forgive you! Fans tell Mikel

Still smarting from his team’s hurtful crash out of the ongoing World Cup fiesta in Russia, Super Eagles captain, Mikel John Obi, had tweeted his explanations for what many fans considered a not-good-enough outing.


“We fought until the end and we are all hurting with you. Your support has driven us throughout the World Cup and we cannot thank you enough.”

But if he felt the fans would readily accept his explanations, he was wrong, as many of his respondents tweeted back in anger and frustration:

May God forgive you oo

The fight that if your country had put in half, they would have qualified for the World Cup.

We are actually not hurt..The massacre in Jos is enough to be disinterested in anything else at least we can concentrate fully on that now that we are out of the world cup.
