According to reports, Yul prophesied that the Nigeria Super Eagles would defeat Ivory Coast in the final prior to Sunday’s play.
In an Instagram post, he wrote, “Today’s game will not feature a penalty shootout. Nigeria will easily defeat Ivory Coast.
However, the Super Eagles lost 2-1 to Ivory Coast.
Following the loss, Nigerians went to social media to vent their dismay and label Yul’s prophecy as false.
Reacting amid the backlash, Yul in a post on his page said “It is well. Thank you Super Eagles. Getting to the finals is as good as winning. We are proud of you all. Great performance in the tournament.
“Win or lose, good or bad, we’ve been here. I love my country Nigeria. Better days ahead. Giant of Africa.”
