Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali reacts to criticism after returning to Nigeria’s national team ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Multiple outlets report that he posts comments in response to opponents of his selection, using the phrase “I’m back, keep crying.”
According to the reports, Nwabali’s response includes sharing evidence from past performance. One outlet says he posts a video on his Instagram Story showing penalty saves from Nigeria’s 2025 AFCON, including saves against Mohamed Salah. Other coverage emphasizes the taunt itself and the fact that he is back in the squad after being recalled for the upcoming qualifying matches.
Across the sources, the core focus is the same: Nwabali’s public retort to critics and his inclusion in the AFCON 2027 qualifying squad. The outlets differ mainly in the amount of detail they provide about the specific content of his social media post and which prior matches were highlighted.
