Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has made a heartfelt plea to fans, urging them to refrain from cyber-bullying targeted at Alex Iwobi following Nigeria’s defeat to Cote D’ivoire in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final.
After the Eagles lost 2-1 to Cote D’ivoire, some fans criticized Iwobi for his performance, blaming him for missed opportunities. This criticism led Iwobi to delete most of his posts on Instagram.
Responding to this, Musa took to social media to implore fans to stop cyber-bullying Iwobi. He emphasized that football is a collective effort, and singling out one player for blame is unfair.
Musa highlighted the seriousness of cyber-bullying, stating that it not only violates decency but is also a crime. He emphasized the importance of unity and support, urging fans to show love and encouragement to the players.
In his message, Musa emphasized that the team wins and loses together. He called for positivity and unity among fans, emphasizing that the players need encouragement, especially during challenging times.
Musa concluded by thanking fans for their support and urging them to stand united with the team, both in victory and defeat.
