The Super Eagles Captain Ahmed Musa has urged Nigerian fans to stop the cyberbullying being mated on his colleague Alex Iwobi.
Musa took to Instagram to speak due to the backlash his colleague has been getting since last night and after trolls made Iwobi delete all his Instagram pictures.
The aggrieved fan fans started telling on Alex Iwobi due to his bad performance at the Sunday final in the just-concluded AFCON which Nigerians lost to the host Country Ivory Coast.
Ahmed Musa described the action as hypocritical after claiming that Football unites us but turns around to bully someone simply because a team lost.
Read his post below;
“Dear fans, I want to please urge you to halt the cyber-bullying directed towards Alex Iwobi. Cyberbullying is not just a violation of decency but also a serious crime.
It’s hypocritical to claim that football unites us while engaging in such behaviour a game is undoubtedly tough, but targeting a single player for the team’s shortcomings is unfair and unjust. We win as a team, and we lose as a team. Alex gave his all on the field, just like every member of our squad.
Instead of spreading negativity, let’s show genuine love and support to our players. They need our encouragement now more than ever. Let’s uplift each other and stand united, both in victory and defeat. 🦅🇳🇬 THANKS #BIG17″
