Nigeria defeated Benin 2-1 in their opening 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match on Wednesday but football enthusiasts were left worried by the broadcast on television.
Goals from Victor Osimhen and Samuel Kalu completed the comeback for the Super Eagles at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium after Stephane Sessegnon opened the scoring for the visitors in the second minute.
Despite the resilient spirit shown by Gernot Rohr’s men to delight fans in Uyo, the game was marred by an underwhelming broadcast and shabby commentary, which has the entire country talking.
SOPEIN@Sopein1Refree blew the whistle….. Nigerias commentator did not hear he just saw movements …..so he said im believing thats the end of the match

Olaleye Dada@olaleyedadaThose of you that watched the Nigeria vs Benin match for 90 minutes are the real heroes.
I couldn’t cope with that 1909 coverage.
I had to change the channel.
Anyway, congratulations to Super Eagles
Facesbykoco MUA!@FacesbykocoMuaThe match btw Nigeria and Benin Republic though!! The commentator so whack, I couldn’t keep still. At the end he was like “Super Eagles-2 , Nigeria-1”. Even blew the whistle 7mins before the end of the match. WTF??? #NGABEN #ShameOnNTA

Nigeria can’t even broadcast a competitive game to football fans but want to pass a bill recommending death sentence for hate speech. When living in Nigeria and being Nigerian is almost a death sentence. Joke of a country.#NGABEN
