Nigerians react to Iwobi’s return

Legit.ng compiled the reactions below:

@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.

"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."
