You don’t deserve that, you have been here for over forty days for love of country, you did your best
The Honourable Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh who led the Super Eagles of Nigeria back home after the final AFCON 2023 match, which saw Nigeria play the host country Cote D’Ivoire to bring home the Silver medal, had a tete-a-tete with Super Eagles Midfielder Alex Iwobi following recent social media hullabaloo by cyber bullies.
“I am aware of what is happening on Social media and as a ministry, this isn’t the first time we are going to make a statement against bullying, not just you but our sportsmen and women in general who are exposed to bullying due to the outcome of competitions. We are concerned about how our sportsmen and women are treated”
The final AFCON 2023 match has seen the jersey number 17 forward player experience a routine of unpleasant remarks hurled at him by cyberbullies and schmucks.
According to the cyberbullies, Iwobi seriously underperformed and was disappointing throughout the finals played.
Such attacks have seen the English based player leaving social media.
Says Iwobi, “I have taken myself out of social media after yesterday’s final game”.
Senator John Enoh encouraged the footballer saying; “You did your best for your country and i am proud of you. The leadership and the rest of the country is proud of you. Those who are not are in the far minority and do not speak for the rest of our country, so just be strong”.
“You did your best, you are part of a team that brought home a silver medal which the country last won at AFCON 2000, which is 23 years ago. You put in your best, thank you very much”.
The Minister of sports strongly condemns any activity which seeks to bully or harm any Nigerian athlete.
I do not even understand how I finished up right here, but I thought this post was once good. I do not recognise who you are however definitely you are going to a well-known blogger when you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
