‘I no be Iwobi’, Sadiq Umar warns cyberbullies over AFCON loss

Super Eagles and Real Sociedad forward, Sadiq Umar, has warned cyberbullies against trolling him following the Super Eagles’ loss against Ivory Coast in the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Umar stated that despite not playing at the tournament, he has been subjected to abuse from some persons after the game on Sunday.

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has been the subject of attacks from netizens who blamed him for the loss against hosts Cote d’Ivoire. The actions led to calls against cyber bullying by Super Eagles players, Minister of Sports, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), among others.

In a post shared on his Instagram story, Sadiq Umar warned that he is not Alex Iwobi and will insult anyone who comes for him.

“I no even play you con dey insult me.

“Abeg oo Me, I no be iwobi I go Insult person papa with him mama join. Yes I be dat topical Hausa boy, Abi u see fear for my eyes?”

“Pushing someone into depression & mental breakdown, Yet you want life to be better for you, e no fit ever better for una! Vagabonds!!!” (sic)

Sadiq Umar,fine you didn’t play.But if those who played had done well, would people have blamed you guys. No.Anyway,for me,I blame the coach because of the tactics he used throughout the game.And he didn’t make changes where and when he needed to do it.Apart from Iwobi,Aina was also sleeping on the right full back.He was always going back until he allowed Adringa to cross the ball to Sebastian Haller who tucked it in.It wasn’t Super Eagles day.Coach should be replaced andva local coach should be employed to reshuffle the team by blending with Professional and local players.With this the team will be fortified with best legs.
