Nigeria fans demand DR Congo disqualification
The man’s statement comes after several reports confirmed that FIFA announced the case filed by Nigeria against DR Congo would be determined on Monday, 16 February 2026.
According to Punch News, the outcome of the decision will determine whether Nigeria will eventually play in the World Cup or if DR Congo will win the petition.
Ahead of the ruling, a young Nigerian identified as @slay_jimmy took to his page to share interesting reasons why FIFA should disqualify DR Congo and allow the Super Eagles of Nigeria to play in the World Cup.
The first reason he gave was that Nigeria would deliver a level of performance that DR Congo cannot match at the World Cup.
In his message to FIFA, he wrote:
“Dear @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup, DR Congo will not give you the kind of performance Nigeria will bring to the World Cup.”

He added another reason, stating that Nigeria has a higher market value than DR Congo and therefore deserves to qualify for the tournament.
He continued:
“Nigeria will also have a higher market value. DR Congo also breached player-citizenship laws. Remove DR Congo and qualify Nigeria for the World Cup.”
