#Brazil2014: ‘Wakanow’ leaves over 600 Nigerians stranded in Sao Paulo

 
Wakanow.com, the official travel partners to the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, according to reports, has failed to transport over 600 Nigerians that were hoping to watch the World Cup clash between the Super Eagles and Argentina, Wednesday, in Porto Alegre. Wakanow had promised to move the fans from Sao Paulo to Porto Alegre, Wednesday morning, in time for the kick-off, but that promise was not kept. “Most of us left Nigeria believing that we were going to Porto Alegre. We were surprised to be brought to Sao Paulo. Many are alleging that this has all the tell tale signs of a scam.” A fan told PM News. Wakanow reportedly purchased tickets at the last minute for only 50 people to go to Porto Alegre, leaving others stranded. The fans who are scattered around San Paulo spent a sleepless night waiting for a flight that never materialized. “First they told us 2 pm. Later, we were told 4pm, then 5 pm. They kept shifting the time untill they told us they couldn’t take us there anymore,” another fan said dejectedly.
