Here is how Nigerians are reacting to the Super Eagles’ exit from the world Cup after going down to Argentina with a late stunner from Marcos Rojo at 86′.

A great performance by our @NGSuperEagles. We fought a good fight. However, you win some, you lose some. Raise your heads up, you inspired all 180 million of us. Thank you. #SoarSuperEagles #NGAARG

There were over 66,000 people in that stadium. 65,500 were rooting for Argentina, which, by the way, has one of the greatest players OF ALL TIME. Impossible odds, but we went down fighting. That's why I cheered like a mad man, that's why I'm proud of the Super Eagles. #NGAARG

Tagging and abusing Ighalo won't put Nigeria back in the #WorldCup.

We are all pained…and trust me, the young man is in a terrible emotional state.

Let's show him love and make him heal. There's victory in the future, may be from same Ighalo.

When our own fail, let's not push them away, calling them names.

Think about a whole nation calling you names…it hurts.

Ighalo wants victory as much as we do…but it is football, it does happen & tonight, otherwise.

We stand, together in victory
We stand, together in defeat

Observations from Eagles Russia 2018 campaign

– We need a striker to partner Musa upfront
– Uzoho is the present & the future
– Etebo should play our set-pieces
– Leave Rohr with this team

You can add yours#NGAARG

Not many will say this. But, I think Uzoho had a very excellent #WorldCup . For a player of his (official) age, he did quite well. He will be keenly watched in the future. #NGAARG @EmpireRadio1045 #1045SPORTS

Africa should pull out of @FIFAWorldCup the injustice is too much, they don't love us, it real, even the commentator is happy that Nigeria was beaten. @BBCAfrica @thenff #NFFCShow #NGAARG #WorldCup

Argentina 2 – 1 Nigeria

Another sad day for our democracy

Ighalo had retired to China
Buhari had retired to Daura

We recalled them to squander opportunities and break our hearts. #NFFCShow
