The shock over Nigeria’s
non-qualification for the 2015 Africa Nations Cup is of international
dimension as international music icon, Wyclef Jean, has expressed
disbelief at the Super Eagles failure to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup
of Nations billed for Equatorial Guinea. The Haiti-born singer
expressed his feelings via his Twitter handle just as many other Nigerians have continued to express.
The Eagles lost the ticket to Congo
after struggling to a 2-2 draw against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in
Uyo on Wednesday. Wyclef who tweeted after the match said he was stunned
that the once revered African champions could not sail through despite
being a good zone.
Wyclef who sang the big hit ‘Dialo
Dialo’ wrote, “Shocker I am stunned unbelievable the #NGA #SuperEagles
are out of #CFA finals in the hand of #RSA #AfricaUnited #Clefication
#DivineSorrow.”
The Haitian who also did collaboration
with late Witney Houston ‘If Tomorrow were Judgment Day’ is surely a big
fan of African football as he had kept pace with the qualifiers all
along. When Equatorial Guinea became the new hosts of the event, he
posted, “Equatorial Guinea confirmed as Morocco’s replacement to host
@BBCFarayi @NacimCity #AFCON2015 #AfricaUnited.”
And on Wednesday before the game in Akwa
Ibom State kicked off, the ‘Gone Till November’ crooner wrote, “Last
day for #CAF qualifications, will the defending champions #NGA survive?
#AfricaUnited #Clefication #DivineSorrow.”
The award-winning musician is not the
only star from that zone that loves football. Sprinter Usain Bolt is a
fan of Manchester United and believes he could play for the team some
day.
