Super Eagles skipper Wilfred Ndidi ignited a storm with his pre-match comments, just before Nigeria’s shocking 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic.

This loss dealt a severe blow to their 2026 World Cup hopes, leaving them winless after four qualifiers and languishing in fifth place in Group C.

Fans are demanding Ndidi be stripped of his captaincy as the team grapples with back-to-back disappointments, following a recent 1-1 draw against South Africa and missing the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Can the Super Eagles soar to the 2026 World Cup, or will Ndidi's controversy clip their wings for good?
