Francis Uzoho: Nigeria Super Eagles goalkeeper deactivates social media account
Nigeria’s Francis Uzoho has opted for a social media hiatus by deactivating his account on X.com.
Uzoho vs Zimbabwe
The move by the Super Eagles goalkeeper came in the aftermath of the crucial World Cup qualifier against the Warriors of Zimbabwe last week.
Uzoho was beaten from 35 yards by Zimbabwe’s Walter Musona as the Warriors held Nigeria’s Eagles to give the hosts a shock 1-0 lead.

Days after the game, Uzoho, who deleted his X.com account due to attacks from Nigerians, has now reacted to the goal.

In a video posted on Instagram by naija_sports, Uzoho chose a unique way to channel his reaction, with the caption “E shock me too, no worry,” an obvious reference to Musona’s screamer.
Nigeria currently sits third in their 2026 FIFA WCQ, with two points from a possible six.
Rwanda’s shock win against South Africa sees them as group leaders with four points while Bafana Bafana are just a point below in third.
