These same folks killed Gaddafi, a leader who loved Africa and Afrcans.
i guess it's time the world knows who and what they are and punish them equally.

Imagine messing with the lives of a whole internationally known and valued team like Super eagles in the name of a 3points.

CAF and FIFA must intervene in this case.😢

@SAKO960

Its a a humiliation, black people need to wake up, these invaders are not even African, why people give them so much values? Its not the first time they doing this to black people, just before the war against Gaddafi, they humiliated the African delegation who went to Benghazi to help negotiate a peace deal. Why the Africans keep going there, good for them, if you don't respect yourself, why do expect these ignorant, racists and negrophobe thugs to respect you?

@NnekaUmeano

Thanks to Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary super witch Clinton who took the good man Ghadafi out. This wouldn't happen under his watch. Terrorists took over the country apparently.

@justramon1

This is the modus operandi of the North Aftican teams.

This is child's play compared to what happens when african club sides play against North African clubs in a semi final or final match

@ashrafwj3528

Why don't you talk about the Libyan team when they traveled to Nigeria and were treated badly in Nigeria and their match was delayed for eight hours and they waited at the airport for six hours. Why don't you talk about these facts? Why do you lie?

@oluyomifadipe5634

Complete BS. An investigation needs to be done.

@dapootolasun1852

When i first heard this, one thing that comes to my mind was Libya included in the Nations cup tornament?

I believed this is beyond mind
game.
This country is currently unstable.
I believed there was evil planned against the whole super eagle team, but something came in between and the super eagle team were miraculously safe.
Let just thank God.

@cybergeek9152

Libya has always been dangerous

@abolger539

Nigeria has a record of doing such stunts all the time

Everything in Africa is always poor quality you wonder why big companies never really pay Africa no mind . You wonder worldcup only held in South Africa . Hmmmm they always say if a white man is not leading it it will never be at a good standard this shows that’s statement to be true.

@flaimzypolymath4246

Libya 🇱🇾 should be disqualified and 3 points should be awarded to Nigeria 🇳🇬
This behavior from Libya is very cruel and disgraceful

@User-sf2ni

CAF is useless. Nigeria should boycott the african cup and divert the budget to the local league.

@Lemonothéismearuise

Before you treat people with racism and contempt, think about your future, you will be treated in the same way… The Nigerian Football Federation deliberately tortured the Libyan delegation …. finally and was met with similar actions

@benwalid6702

The Nigerians did the same thing a week before

@weebdeity7310

Lybia should be banned for years

@iheanyifranklyn6335

CAF shouldn't have allowed Libya to play in their country for security reasons.

Benghazi is controlled by Haftar and his govt is not recognized by UN so why did CAF choose the rebel controlled area for AFCON…so so bad.

@SmailBekkair

hypocrites , what happens first in the previous game , what did the Nigerian done to the lydian team ?

@drhossawy

I guess they are saying that the Nigerian federation did the same to them in the first leg. That’s not right! Even if this happened with their team, you shouldn’t retaliate this way. You should treat other teams with dignity and respect no matter what. You may however send a formal complaint to Fifa about what happened earlier. Nevertheless, African federation needs to work on their constant issues happening in Africa. There’s a lot of work to be done related to infrastructure and logistics.

So when Nigerians do this to other countries, South Africa and Benin Nigeria did this to us for SA for 18 hours, no boycott, Nigeria must stop thinking Africa owes them. They started with these games

@Seyiwale6127

This’s why Africans can never move forward. What a shame treating your fellow Africans such way.

@geraldgeaf1292

Why is Libya even in the qualifier – who goes to Libya in its current state to play football?
Why does Libya itself wants to be playing football right now?

@AnthonyGodfrey-e4t

The Lybian FA has been Fined $10m and banned from playing home games in Lybia for another 2 years

@NamZuluC10

Didn't Nigeria do the same to Libya??

@sportinz

The experience meted to the Super Eagles was not sportsmanly at all. It should not be encouraged against any Team . We await CAF's decision.
