The Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to qualify for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup after a 1-1 draw with the Black Stars of Ghana on Tuesday evening at the National Stadium Abuja.
The Black Stars of Ghana have qualified for the FIFA World Cup which will start in November 2022 in Qatar.
Last week, the Black Stars of Ghana held the Super Eagles of Nigeria to a goalless draw in Kumasi, Ghana, giving them an advantage over the continent’s allegedly titans.
Otto Addo’s men qualified for the global showpiece in Qatar thanks to a key goal in Abuja.
After holding Nigeria to a 1-1 draw in the second leg of their final qualifying game, Ghana qualified for the 2022 Fifa World Cup.
On Friday, the Black Stars held the three-time African champions to a goalless draw in Kumasi, and they advanced to Qatar with an away goal in Abuja.
Following Ghana’s failure to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Nigerians demolished the 60,000-seat stadium in Abuja.
The date March 29, 2022, is one that most Nigerians would prefer to forget quickly. It was a day that provided Nigerians plenty of reasons to bemoan and criticize everyone, particularly the country’s president, Muhammadu Buhari.
The terrible news began on March 29 when a group of robbers, many of whom were mistaken for terrorists, assaulted a train carrying passengers from Kaduna state to the country’s Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. During the incident, an unknown number of individuals died, and several were apparently taken.
A terrorism organization apparently targeted the railway line connecting Kaduna and Abuja hours later, but no killings or kidnappings were recorded.
These events occurred within a week of a terrorist attack on the Kaduna airport. There were no clear records of the attack’s casualties.
After a string of bad news, most Nigerians were hoping that the Super Eagles would give them something to cheer about by defeating Ghana and qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
