‘Stolen Mandate’, Nigerians React As Serie A Twitter Admin Crowns Kvaratskhelia Ahead Of Osimhen
It was ‘vawulence‘ galore as Nigerians descend on a Serie Twitter account after posting a photo of Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with the caption ‘A new king is crowned in Napoli’.
GWG reports Napoli defeated Udinese to deliver the Partenopei’s first Scudetto since the 1989/90 season and their third ever courtesy of Nigerian star boy Victor Osimhen.
The 24-year-old scored 22 goals and provided four assists in 29 league games to help the team maintain a 16 points lead with five games to go.
Similarly, Kvara was also instrumental in the triumph, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists in his first season in the Italian top flight.
In a bid to celebrate his greatness, a Twitter account, Lega Serie A crowned Kwara ahead of Osimhen – a development that stirred angry reactions from Nigerians.

Nigerians react
Late football legend Diego Maradona guided the team to victory the last time Napoli won the Scudetto. Osimhen has been the face of Luciano Spalletti’s winners.
The controversial image depicting Diego Maradona wearing a crown for Kvaratskhelia did not sit well with Nigerians who felt their boy Osigoal as he’s fondly called, is the poster boy.
Below are some reactions gathered by GWG:
After Victor Osimhen become the highest goal scorer in Seria A this season, highest Africa goal scorer in a single season in the history of Seria A. Then seria A came up with this to crown an unknown person King
But to we VICTOR OSIMHEN IS OUR KING

Osimhen posters is literally everywhere in Napoli but to crown a black player the current king of a club is so heavy for them to do.. If this isn’t racism then i don’t know what else it is.

Osimhen is the main reason why Napoli won the Seria A title (after 33 years); His impact on games is undeniable, but Khvicha is the one getting the accolades. This reeks of racism. If a new king is getting crowned in Napoli, no-one deserves the crown more than Victor Osimhen.
