Following his mistake in Friday’s 2-2 draw between Nigeria and Algeria’s B squad, Super Eagles goalie Maduka Okoye has received harsh criticism from supporters once more.
Eight months after being forced to leave the team due to his error against Tunisia, which resulted in the Eagles’ elimination from the postponed 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon in the round of 16, the Watford goalkeeper was given a rare start in the match.
However, the former Sparta Rotterdam goaltender was penalized by Algerian attacker Karim Aribi for a mistake he made as he attempted to dribble the forward instead of clearing the ball after collecting a back pass from one of his defenders 33 minutes into his return to the Eagles’ starting lineup.

Soon after, Nigerians reacted to Okoye’s error, which led to Nigeria giving up the game’s first goal, on social media.
Additionally, Seyi Alao stated on Twitter that Maduka Okoye had left the Super Eagles after his catastrophic error against Tunisia. “Man is another difficulty the country is coping with following insecurity,” he said after making a comeback against a second-string Algerian team.
Oloye Salah was confused about Okoye’s mental state when he wrote, “Maduka high come field????” under his handle.
The display surprised a woman who goes by the moniker Ms Chinonye, who said, “This was what happened? Without a doubt, I’ll watch the replay. What kind of garbage is this?
Another Nigerian, @itsbayannifans, thinks that his Eagles career may be over due to his persistent errors.
