Nigerians react to Iwobi’s return

@MeetSunshineMay:
:Most natural midfielders we have are not in top 5 European leagues. If u mention nwakali samson tijani ebenezer akinsanmiro etc they will say they are not in good clubs or that they are too young. We are stuck with Europe. Our midfield was given problems by players from mamelodi sundown but we will not hear.
"By the way samuel kalu is better than chukwueze and moses simon. Also olisah ndah is the most skillfully and technical defender we have but they are not in the top leagues in Europe so people here will say I'm foolish for saying so.
"Time will prove people who think like me right. Football does not end in the top 5 leagues of Europe. Nwabali proved it. TIME WILL TELL."
@dlifeof_jay:
"Hope iwobi is fine now?"
@SchoolsinNaija:
"They should continue doing what they know how to do best; play football. However, they should continue to work hard and improve else, some new guys will take their shirt in the national team."
@Oforma19:
"Hope say Iwobi no go cut my game dis weekend."
@official_micolo:
"2 of our best players at this Afcon, first names on the sheet and played out their hearts every game, especially in the set up that required us to defend."
Victor Osimhen cautions Nigerians dragging his colleague Alex Iwobi
Super Eagles superstar Victor Osimhen asked his fellow Nigerians to remain objective when criticising them following the negative comments and insults Alex Iwobi has been getting.
Among other Eagles who have spoken, Osimhen added that fans should understand that footballers were just humans like them.
He went on to say that the bad comments Iwobi had been getting online could affect him mentally and make him lose focus and form.
