        They should go look for an eagle 🦅 to carry, not chinkens please. Somebody should tell the fans we are super eagles NOT super chickens.

        They must have chickened out. Or maybe it was to prevent fowl play

        Of course that's the only thing worth discussing about Nigeria at the World Cup. Western media should show Africa a bit of respect.

        I don't know where the chicken reports emanated from. But definitely super eagles of Nigeria need no chickens to attain victory over their competitors. Moreso majority of Nigerians don't do fettish things. Most Nigerians believe & trust in God for success. BBC Stop this blackmail

        If it was a European or N. American fans taking lucky chickens to games, no one would have a problem with it. It's all racist. It's becauce they are Africans.

        It’s a lie... 2010 in South Africa, Nigeria fans were prevented from taking into the stadium live chickens painted in green white green colors. That’s an African country. Propagandists everywhere because it’s Russia. Yeye de smell

        My point still stands. If it were white fans doing it, it'd be okay. It's an anti black world.

        But South Africa is a black country... so is it proper to tag them anti black for doing that in 2010?
