Ivory Coast’s Emmanuel Eboue takes on all of Nigeria on twitter

If like me and the many unexcited football fans you have yet to watch a single AFCON 2013 match I’ll suggest that you at least check out the hilarious tweets from Ivory Coast’s Emmanuel Eboue.

Eboue has opened a whole can of sh*t talking at Nigeria and my Naija people dey vex.

After Nigeria beat Ethiopia yesterday and qualified for the quarter finals where they’ll face off against Ivory Coast, Eboue went in hard on his timeline. He tweeted about everything from corruption in the Nigerian FA, to the fact they should be ashamed that captain Mikel Obi was the nation’s best player.

My favorite tweet though has to be where he tweeted “cover your face” on the shame that Nigerians should feel at Naija TV’s inability to broadcast the games to its people.

Thanks to Eboue we’re all gonna have to tune in to watch Nigeria vs Ivory Coast. In the meantime you can find more hilarious tweets @therealeboue. So so shakara!

Eboue has only spoken his mind, and by all standards that shouldn’t be a crime. Why do Nigerians find it so hard to accept that we do not have a good team these years?
That is only normal, fortune come and go. Today countries like Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana are the darlings of African football, it was Senegal some years ago. It has once been Egypt, Morocco and Nigeria has taken its turn.
Abeg, glory doesn’t live in a specific country, let the joy go around jare.
