Nigerians trend #TheAtikuChallenge in Support of Super Eagles’ World Cup Qualification
World Cup? #TheAtikuChallenge? Super Eagles? Doesn’t connect, does it?
Hold up.
(Alex Iwobi scored the only goal, but that’s besides the point.)
Former Vice President and Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, in support of the Super Eagles, tweeted:
They say Russia is cold. We are still coming! Haha! Congratulations to the Super Eagles and all Nigerians! #NGAZAM pic.twitter.com/RX64q4PUcR

TwitterNG, characteristically, picked up on the photo (only the photo) and somehow morphed it into a hashtag to celebrate the qualification.
It started with #ReadyForRussia, but that was quickly dumped for #TheAtikuChallenge.
