Nigerians storm social media account of Turkish referee, rains curses on him

It was painful to see Nigeria exit the FIFA World Cup in Russia at the group stage following a 2-1 defeat to Argentina in their final group D game on Tuesday and since the defeat, Nigerians are yet to come with terms the reality with many storming the social media page of the referee to rain curses on him.

To many Nigerians, the referee who is Turkish is to blame for Nigeria's defeat for failing to award a penalty to Nigeria and for allegedly being bias in his officiating of the game.

Nigeria locked horn with long time foe Argentina in the final group D game knowing that a draw will see them through while a defeat means the Argentines will go through despite the result from the game between Croatia and Iceland.

Argentina first went ahead with a Lionel Messi goal before Nigeria leveled up after the break after Victor Moses converted a spot kick.

With just 3 mins from regulation time, Rojo fired Argentina into the lead once again to claim the last spot in group D.

Here are what Nigerians have to say to the Turkish referee on his Instagram page.
