Nigerian fans in fake dollar pains

The last has defi­nitely not been heard of the Ni­geria, Argentina group F clash last week in Porto Alegre. Nigeria lost the match by a slim 3-2 margin with many writhing in the pains of the defeat. Some analysts believed the Eagles did enough to deserve a draw.

Fresh revelations showed that while Messi and his team mates were busy beat­ing Eagles on the field of play, Argentine fans were equally inflicting more pains on unsuspecting Nige­rian fans.

It would be noted that tickets for the match was a hot cake. Thousands of Ar­gentine fans had no ticket and were desperate to see the game and they were ready to buy match tickets at whatever cost. Some Ni­gerian fans who had tickets in a bid to make some quick cash decided to sell theirs and watch from the big screens outside the arena. Unknown to them, what the Argentine fans used to buy the tickets were fake dollar notes. A Nigerian fan who pleaded anonimi­ty disclosed yesterday that he went to change the dol­lar he made from his ticket to Brazil’s local currency , Reas, only to discover that what he was having was fake currency.

“My brother, the bureau de change people almost arrested me o,” were his words. “Those Argentines are bastards,” he added.
