The comedian encouraged Nigerians to quit criticising the sportsman and instead send him their love.

His words: “Anyone can become a victim of cyberbullying. Malicious information posted on the Internet can spread far and wide at an instant, and it is always difficult to be deleted completely. The immediacy of the spread makes it hard for victims to defend themselves or take precautions. The harm caused by cyberbullying is always ignored by computer or mobile phone users.

“It is so sad to see how you all have exhibited various forms of cyberbullying on a young man whose only crime was to come and represent his father land. Tomorrow, you all will still be wondering why the likes of Saka and others are never going to play for Nigeria?

“It’s time to think beyond your personal interests and look at the negative effects of your evil actions. Let’s help promote a culture of care and respect on the Internet and prevent cyberbullying. Kindly share a ❤️ for @alexanderiwobi on this post.

”NOTE: Dear Fair weather and forgetful fans. The different slides are designed to refresh your selfish memories,” he wrote.

Don’t arrest Peter Obi so the nation doesn’t burn

Latest entertainment gist

Popular Nigerian activist and entertainer Charles Oputa aka Charly Boy has raised alarm over an alleged plot to arrest Labour Party 2023 Presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Charly boy who is an ardent supporter of the politician said that his other supporters commonly known as Obidients were ready to spring into action if the rumors were true.

He said he’d heard that the government had plans to arrest him because he had been speaking out and criticizing their policies regularly. 

He however cautioned the president against carrying out the rumored plans as it could lead to the country burning down.

He wrote:

There’s a report of an attempt of arrest on Peter Obi, by Tinubu’s Government over Peter Obi’s consistent refusal to back down on calling Tinubu out towards good governance and accountability.
Any arrest or charges against Obi must be met with a resistance as never seen in the history of Nigeria before, and the Obidients are ready for it. Tinubu’s government must trend with caution not to set this nation on fire with an illegal arrest of HE Peter Obi. We call on Tinubu’s government to desist from her evil plans against Peter Obi because Nigeria will not remain the same.
