In the wake of Libya’s recent victory over Rwanda, Nigeria’s Super Eagles have officially secured their spot in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco. While celebrations are in order, this qualification has sparked a unique ripple effect in Group C. Libya, now holding onto a slim chance of qualifying, depends on Nigeria’s performance in their final matches. For Libya to have any chance of joining the Super Eagles in Morocco, Nigeria must defeat both Benin Republic and Rwanda in their upcoming fixtures.

But not all Nigerian fans are on board with this idea. Some, humorously or otherwise, have started hoping that Nigeria might not go all out in these matches. They would rather see Libya miss out on the chance for AFCON glory than aid their path to Morocco. This tug-of-war between qualification dreams and national loyalties has added an intriguing twist to the closing stages of the qualifiers, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
