Football fans have been cautioned against cyberbullying by Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo, since it can have a negative impact on the players’ confidence.

Following Nigeria’s 2-1 loss to Ivory Coast in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final last week, in which certain Super Eagles players, including Alex Iwobi, faced backlash on social media, Omeruo made this statement.

According to Omeruo, the results of these attacks may compel some of the players to resign from the national team.

Many people will attack you because they are enraged for no apparent reason. Prior to the competition, we had been receiving criticism.” He stated to Arise News.

For instance, on Instagram, someone commented, “I hope you die,” to Ola Aina. They don’t care about anything; they just write whatever.the repercussions, and most of the time I have given up on answering several messages.We simply need to develop thick skin and hopefully keep winning because when we win, people forget about everything else.

If I respond in this way, one blog will pick it up and they will make a huge deal out of it.”I was speaking to Ola and he made some comments that I won’t say here, but it will affect us if we lose a player like him simply because of some bullying from some unimportant fans,” he said.Imagine Ola Aina was included in the Team of the Tournament and, in my opinion, was one of the greatest players in the competition.
