An unidentified Nigerian in Vienna, Austria has lambasted members of the Super Falcons team for still playing for the country despite the alleged misrule of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Falcons were in a train when the man, whose face was not seen in the video, rose and started speaking.
The Falcons are in Austria preparing ahead of the Aisha Buhari Invitational Women’s Football Tournament.
The man said: “I am also a Nigerian and I have lived in Vienna for so many years and you people are representing a terrorist group.
“You Nigerian youths should be very ashamed of yourselves.
“Every one of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
“This can’t happen in another country.
“That their youths are representing this government.
“Over 10 million Nigerian youths are abroad doing nothing and you people who are supposed to know about it are representing a terrorist organisation called Buhari, kidnapping citizens, killing youths.
“I am calling on you, go back home, don’t represent this country.
“You don’t understand what Nigerians are going through.
“You should be the ones to fight for everyone.
“I played for Julius Berger, I am a footballer also.
“The corruption in Nigeria drove me here and I am here suffering.”
At a point, the players and officials rose to confront the man, who then threatened to get them arrested by the police if they laid their hands on him.
Commenting on the development, Nigeria’s FIFA Match Agent, Jairo Pachon, said a report had been lodged with the Austrian Police and Embassy of Nigeria.
Pachon told thenff.com: “It is unfortunate.
“The girls were on the way to the city centre which was just a few minutes from the hotel.
“They entered this train and the guy got inside and started insulting them.
“He was bundled out at the next station and we have reported the matter to the Embassy of Nigeria and the Austrian Police.
“We have never had this kind of case with any of our teams and lessons have been learnt and we will be guided appropriately going forward.
“This incident will not in any way affect the team’s camping programme and they will remain in Austria until Saturday, 24th July as scheduled.”
