Semi-Final: Nigerian High Commission Issues Warning Ahead Of AFCON Clash

The Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria has cautioned Nigerians of potentially inflammatory comments ahead of the highly anticipated AFCON clash between Bafana Bafana and the Super Eagles.
Nigeria and South Africa will face off in a semi-final on Wednesday, 7 February for a spot in the AFCON final.

In a statement, the High Commission said it has been made aware of potentially inflammatory online comments allegedly made by some South Africans against Nigerians living in South Africa.

The High Commission said the comments are largely influenced by the upcoming AFCON semi-final between the two teams.
Most of the comments consist of veiled threats against ‘Nigerians cooking jollof rice’ before the match, and ‘showing pepper to Nigerians if Bafana Bafana lose to the Super Eagles’, among others.

In this regard, the High Commission hereby advises the Nigerian community to be watchful of their utterances, be mindful of where they choose to watch the match, especially in public spaces, and refrain from engaging in loud, riotous or provocative celebrations should the Super Eagles win the match.

Additionally, Nigerians should be law abiding before, during and after the match. Should any provocations arise, they should not be reciprocated but reported to the appropriate authorities,” the High Commission added.
