A viral X post from November 15, 2025, has stunned Nigerian football fans after the user’s prediction perfectly matched the real outcome of the Super Eagles’ crucial 2026 World Cup playoff match against DR Congo.
In the tweet, the lady forecasted a 1-1 draw followed by a DR Congo victory on penalties—exactly what happened the next day when Nigeria crashed out 4–3 on penalty shootout, ending their hopes of making it to the 2026 World Cup in North America.
Her follow-up “I rebuke it” comment reflected a deeply rooted Nigerian cultural habit: using prayer to reject negative visions, bad luck, or ominous predictions, especially in emotionally charged moments like national team games.
Accompanied by images of heartbroken Super Eagles players and devastated fans painted in green, the original post exploded online, gathering over 90,000 views and more than 700 likes, as football lovers flooded the thread with shock, humour, and superstitious banter about prophetic dreams.
For many, it wasn’t just a prediction—it became a symbol of frustration, disbelief, and the painful reality of Nigeria’s rare failure to qualify for football’s biggest stage.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 1 - 1 Dr Congo
