Francis Uzoho, the goalkeeper for Nigeria, has deactivated his account on X.com, formerly Twitter, to take a vacation from social media. This action comes after Nigeria’s underwhelming showing in their FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Zimbabwe, where they were only able to draw. Walter Musona of Zimbabwe scored an incredible 35-yard goal, but Uzoho was criticized for giving up the goal.
Nigerians voiced their displeasure following the game, specifically accusing Uzoho of scoring the goal. Following Uzoho’s deactivation of his Twitter account, rumours began to circulate regarding the demands and scrutiny that athletes encounter on social media. His Instagram account is still active, though.
Concerns have been raised regarding the Super Eagles’ chances of qualifying for the World Cup after they have only collected two points from their two World Cup qualifying games under Jose Peseiro’s leadership. A rising trend of taking breaks from social media to stay focused and prevent distractions has been sparked by Uzoho’s decision to stop using Twitter. This decision highlights the difficulties athletes face in coping with the constant scrutiny they receive online.
