Super Eagles player, Alex Iwobi, has finally returned to Instagram.
Following attacks targeted at him after the Super Eagles defeat to Cote d’Ivoire in the final of the recently concluded Africa Cup of Nations, Iwobi deleted all posts on his account.
Iwobi allegedly became a target of cyberbullying due to what Nigerians perceived as unsatisfactory midfield performance during the game.

However, the football star on Saturday night shared a video on his account.
In the viral video, Iwobi was captured teasing viewers with a preview of what seems to be an unreleased rap song.
In the snippet were clips of his football games and among others – there he was exuberating on his self-confidence and disregard for those who felt he wasn’t good enough.
The Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Enoh, urged Iwobi to keep his head up after facing heavy criticism from fans in the wake of Nigeria’s loss in the AFCON final.
Also, his uncle, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, and football star, Ahmed Musa, among several others backed Alex Iwobi to stay strong and appealed to the attackers to stop the cyberbullying.
