<p>NTA dominated conversations during Super Eagles game due to their poor coverage.</p>

<h1>Federal Government-owned Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) was at the end of intense criticism on Twitter following their poor coverage of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Nigeria and Benin Republic. </h1>

<p>With<strong> DSTV</strong>’s <strong>SuperSport </strong>pulling out of broadcasting content from the <strong>Confederation of African Football</strong> (CAF), Nigerians were left with NTA to watch the game. </p>

<p>The coverage, however, was an eyesore which drew the ire of Nigerians on <strong>Twitter</strong>. </p>

<p>#ShameonNTA was the number two trending item on Twitter Nigeria as Nigerians tore NTA apart. </p>
