Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has taken to social media to express his disappointment with the transportation provided by the Libyan Football Federation upon the team’s arrival in the North African country. In a tweet accompanied by a photo, Boniface highlighted the “bus” sent to pick up the Nigerian contingent from the airport.
The image shows a small, worn-out vehicle that is starkly different from the luxury buses typically used to transport professional football teams. The photo has quickly gone viral, sparking outrage and mockery among Nigerian fans.
The Super Eagles faced significant delays upon their arrival in Libya, with their flight being diverted from Benghazi to another city due to security concerns. The incident, coupled with the substandard transportation provided by the Libyan federation, has further strained relations between the two countries.
As the Super Eagles prepare for their crucial AFCON qualifier against Libya, the controversy surrounding their treatment in the North African nation continues to escalate.
