Remember that after Nigeria’s 2-1 loss to Ivory Coast in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final, Iwobi was among the players that faced criticism?
After the AFCON final, the Fulham player eventually removed every photo from his official Instagram page.
The comedian challenged Nigerians to consider the consequences of their “evil” deeds rather than only their own interests.

Cyberbullying is a phenomenon that can affect anyone. Adverse content uploaded on the internet has the ability to quickly travel great distances and is never easily removed. It is difficult for sufferers to defend themselves or take preventative measures due to the rapidity of the spread. Users of computers and mobile phones always overlook the harm that cyberbullying does.
“It is heartbreaking to witness how you have all engaged in different types of cyberbullying directed at a young man whose only transgression was to travel and represent his native country. You will all still be perplexed tomorrow as to why players like Saka and others will never be allowed to represent Nigeria.
It’s time to consider the consequences of your wicked deeds rather than just your own interests.

“Let’s work to stop cyberbullying and foster an environment of kindness and respect on the internet,” he wrote.
