Nollywood luminary, Prince Eke, has emerged as a vocal advocate against the wave of criticism directed towards Nigerian football star, Alex Iwobi, following the Super Eagles’ defeat against Ivory Coast.
Taking to his Instagram platform, Eke delivered a poignant rebuke to those engaging in the online harassment of Iwobi. He emphasized that these same individuals were quick to demand justice for the late Mohbad, a poignant reminder of the collective outrage sparked by revelations of Mohbad’s victimization and perpetual state of fear due to bullying by certain individuals.
Eke’s impassioned plea serves as a timely call to action, urging for empathy and understanding in the face of adversity. By drawing parallels between the plight of Iwobi and the tragic circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s experience, he underscores the importance of solidarity and compassion within the Nigerian community, both on and off the field.
In a society where public figures are often subject to intense scrutiny and unwarranted criticism, Eke’s intervention stands as a beacon of advocacy for kindness and support. As the conversation surrounding Iwobi’s performance unfolds, his words resonate as a reminder of the human toll of cyberbullying and the collective responsibility to foster a culture of empathy and respect.
