Eboue, who through his twitter handle @TheRealEboue, congratulated Nigeria shortly after the Super Eagles defeated Ethiopia to reach the knock-out stages but was quick to caution Nigeria not to celebrate to much as the Elephants are coming for them.
The former Arsenal player maintained that Eagles were no match to his side. His first tweet read: “Congrat to Nigeria. Don’t celebrate too much cuz we are coming for you. We are going to eat you like fufu”.
Minutes later, the Ivorian defender tweeted again: “Sorry guys, point of correction. We are going to eat Nigeria like #SuperFriedChickens.”
From then on, it has been an unending tweet tirade on not just the Eagles as a team but Nigeria in its entirety, a situation that has seen some twitter users arguing that Eboue was being impersonated.
Some of the tweets read:
“@TheRealEboueI see ppl saying I hv pride by saying we wud eat Nigeria like fried chickens, it’s not pride guys, it’s hardwork & passion 4 my country”
“@TheRealEboue: In Nigeria team, some of your best strikers like martins, yakubu & odewinge are not in the team. Why? No peace, passion, & humility”
“@TheRealEboue: Ivory has some of the top players in d world, and when our country calls. We go. We go back home and play. Nobody is a big boy. So shut it”
“@TheRealEboue: A country where mikel obi is your best player & captain . Out of 150million people. You sure have a problem super chickens”
“@TheRealEboue: With all due respect 2 mikel, he is a good player but not Okocha, Samson,yekini,Oliseh, adepoju. Your football association is a joke”
“@TheRealEboue: When keshi was in Togo, he dropped adebayor. He is in Nigeria and drops the best player. He is a manger he should be able to work on their ego”
@TheRealEboue: I have said enough on this matter. I was so angry. Speak to me when your national television can broadcast the game. Have a good day
@TheRealEboue:Keep fooling yourself and calling yourselfs the giant of africa. You are nothing but the soil of Africa we all work on now.
@TheRealEboue: You guys are jokers. Your institutions are comedy clubs. You have so many resources & man power yet you are always falling short.
@TheRealEboue:Oh sorry Nigeria, I even heard your country owns the first African television and you cannot even televise the game to the masses
@TheRealEboue: Drogba, Yaya,kolo, Zakora, gervinho,KaLou, and myself and all other players. We are all the same. One unity and family. Country comes 1st
@TheRealEboue: I have said enough on this matter. I was so angry. Speak to me when your national television can broadcast the game. Have a good day
@TheRealEboue: If we don’t beat you in the game, it means you are lucky. But trust me, we are going to deal with you so much , you would be eating grass
@TheRealEboue: Why don’t you speak to your NFA that cant grow a good soccer academy & produce players to last for a decade instead of new faces every week
@TheRealEboue: Blame me, i don’t care. I would say my mind. You can even blame me Ghana can show the game to the masses and NTA cannot . Cover your face
TheRealEboue: My last word for Nigerians . Do not cry for me , cry for yourselves. In the true spirit of sport , I love you all . Don’t get too emotional.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteWeep oh dear nation!!!!! †ђξ boy has said nothing less than †ђξ truth. Weep oh dear Nation.
ReplyDeleteI weep 4 my nation wat a shame' tru talk boi'
ReplyDeleteAs painful as his comments are, they are nothing but the truth. We need to rediscover ourselves & take back our rightful place as the GIANT of AFRICA.
ReplyDeleteBut Eagles, please do us a favour by thrashing out the Elephants who blasphem against the Lord's own country! KJoe
Yes...weep oh dear nation!!!! We are not getting our priorities right,not only in sport but also in all areas. How can we have N4bn for a house for first ladies, N150m for the renovation of guest house of the Vice-President. Eboue have said it all.....Keep fooling yourself and calling yourselfs the giant of africa. You are nothing but the soil of Africa we all work on now
ReplyDeleteno sentiments my dear country Nigeria, what the boy said is nothing but the truth, shame on all greedy NFF officials and all who because of their personal and selfish interest could not televise the match for all to see even the poor.
ReplyDeleteEboue, No be RED CARD be your second name?
ReplyDeleteDis cannot be Eboue; a nigerian is speaking
ReplyDeleteLets please drop our ego and listen and act on true talks. Nja is a virtual country. It needs to be discovered again.
ReplyDeleteTruth is bitter. Is it his fault? Can we ever put our acts together? Although he is arrogant and stupid, I agree with those who took decision not to show the match because of the outrageous, unequitable bill. For once, we thought them some lessons on that. The only challenge is what the authorities will do with the money!!!!USE IT TO RENOVATE OUR STADIA OVER NIGERIA?
ReplyDeleteNa wa o
ReplyDeleteWell Emmanuel Eboue, your comment was a morale booster to our team. I will have love you to eat your pride and accept defeat.Remember sooner you will run down here for safety to hide in the pot of super fried chicken. Bravo to our Eagles.
