"Give That Crown To Osimhen" - Angry Nigerians Attack Serie A Officials For Racist Post on Twitter

Social Media - Nigerians come out en mass to show superiority over who owns the internet. 

Hours after Napoli won the scudetto, the Serie A official English Twitter handle tweeted a photo of legend Maradona and Napoli winger Khava Kvaratskhelia on a throne. 

The photo illustrates Maradona putting a crown on the head of the Georgian winger with caption "A new king is crowned in Naples". This singular act didn't go down with Nigerians who came out en mass to lend a support to fellow citizen Victor Osimhen who was sidelined. 

Victor Osimhen was instrumental in Napoli winning the Scudetto after 33 years with the Nigerian scoring a league golden boot record for an African with 23 goals and a stunning 8 assists during the 34 games campaign.  

Osimhen didn't only show he was their main man, his equalizer against Udinese was what sealed the title for Napoli. Napolians went berserk as they witnessed history and chants of "Osimhen, Osimhen"... filled the stadium. 

But why was the Nigerian Striker sidelined by the League officials? That was where Nigerians didn't find it funny and had the thoughts of a subtle racism to try and discredit the player whose efforts shouldn't go unnoticed.
