        You don't need us to send our comments because your media report on the #PlateauKillings is a disgrace to investigative journalism world. Your British reporters stay in a hotel, receive Buhari's account of the killing & report to the world that it's just a Clash! Clash with who

        FIFA has given Nigeria another chance of avenging past defeats against Argentina and i strongly believe that @NGSuperEagles will eliminate Messi and co from this tournament.
