The user @TheKayodeBadmus had posted this online.
“Everybody knows what DR Congo did. They might scale through, but the petition was valid. If it was a frivolous request, I am certain FIFA wouldn’t just throw it out—they would have penalised the NFF. But everyone knows it’s a valid protest, irrespective of the outcome.”
After coming across the post, the journalist @QualityQuadry, explained that his source had given him feedback about the case filed against DR Congo by Nigeria. According to his source, it is a lost case for Nigeria as they’re likely not to play in the World Cup.

“Thank you, brother. People never believed we had a case until I started talking about it. The source that was giving me info told me yesterday that it’s now a lost case. I’m fulfilled because our petition was valid, and I never regretted being so optimistic that we would win the case.”
