“My own is that Iwobi shouldn’t near our national team again. Cyber bullying or not. He doesn’t know his job as a midfielder. To some fans football is not just a game. Who will now speak for those that died or lost a lot of money because of his incompetency? Abeg make Una tell this the truth”.

Iwobi to allegedly retire from National team
Legit.ng had reported that Iwobi had allegedly planned his retirement from the Super Eagles after he was bullied online.
He deleted all posts from his Instagram page and left only one post. The post he left was about the advert he did for a fashion brand.
His action was because he was bullied online for his performance during AFCON 2023.
