Nigeria not qualifying for World Cup is blessing in disguise – Actors, Mary Njoku and Williams Uchemba says, reveals why
Nollywood stars, Mary Remmy Njoku and Williams Uchemba have stated that Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is a blessing in disguise.
In an Instagram page, Mrs Mary noted that she’s grateful Nigeria was disqualified because it would have been a distraction for the youths to focus on the country’s insecurity challenge.
She added that Nigerians can now focus on pressuring the government to do something about the attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train.
In her words:
“Thank God we didn’t qualify for the world cup. It would have been a distraction.
“We need to focus on the real problems in Nigeria. And pressure the Govt to do something. An attack on a train!
An attack at the airport The insecurity in Nigeria is alarming! No more unnecessary distractions!!!! This needs everyone’s attention!!
On the other hand, Actor Williams wrote:
“Maybe it’s good we lost. So we can channel our anger on the pressing issue in the country.
“Almost 1000 Nigerian citizens cannot be accounted for and people are acting like It’s a normal thing.”
