Super Eagles Captain Musa Calls for an End to Cyberbullying Against Iwobi

Super Eagles Captain Ahmed Musa issued a heartfelt plea to his fans and supporters on Monday, condemning the cyberbullying directed at teammate Alex Iwobi. Musa emphasised the gravity of cyberbullying in a recent social media post, describing it as both a violation of decency and a serious crime.


Musa highlighted the irony of claiming unity in football while engaging in behaviour that undermines individual players. He emphasised that, while losing a game is undoubtedly difficult, blaming a single player for the team's shortcomings is both unfair and unjust. Musa reiterated the fundamental principle that victories and losses are the result of collective efforts, with each team member contributing to the overall performance.


Musa praised Alex Iwobi's dedication and efforts on the pitch in his message, and urged fans to channel their support constructively rather than spreading negativity. He emphasised the importance of expressing genuine affection and encouragement to players, especially during difficult times.

The captain urged fans to support one another and stand united, regardless of the outcome of the game. He thanked the team for its continued support and urged everyone to rally behind their players in a positive and united manner.


Musa's message, as captain of the Nigerian national team, serves as a reminder to the football community about the importance of respect, unity, and support. His call to end cyberbullying of Alex Iwobi reflects a broader commitment to fostering an inclusive and encouraging sports culture.

Nigerian World Cup star Musa set for record move to Leicester



Nigeria's Ahmed Musa is set to be signed for a record fee by English champions Leicester City, who are set to break their record transfer fee for the second time in a matter of days by buying CSKA attacking midfielder Ahmed Musa on Wednesday.


Musa, who scored a brace for Nigeria in a 3-2 defeat of Lionel Messi's Argentina at the 2014 World Cup, will see his present side Russian outfit CSKA Moscow receive £16.6million ($22.1 million, 19.8 million euros) -- a record outlay for Leicester.

"Everything has been finalised and Musa will be in England for his medical on Wednesday," Musa's agent Tony Harris told BBC Sport.

Musa and Sunday's signing former France Under-21 midfielder Nampalys Mendy, who joined from Ligue 1 side Nice on a four-year deal for a club record at the time of £13m, will bolster the Foxes squad for a tilt at the Champions League.

Musa's soon to be former coach Leonid Slutsky said the Nigerian -- who scored 53 goals in 161 matches for CSKA since joining them in 2012 -- would be ideal for the Premier League.
"If you look at the way things are done over there you'll see he is a player just made for English football," Slutsky said.

According to the BBC Musa rejected the advances of Leicester's rivals Southampton, Everton and West Ham.
