Combat Cyberbullying: A Call to Action

Cyberbullying, the insidious use of technology to intimidate, threaten, or humiliate others, is a scourge that must be eradicated. From malicious online messages to the posting of personal information with the intent to cause harm, every form of cyberbullying inflicts pain and leaves scars.

It's all too common to witness footballers facing relentless criticism for what some deem as "poor performance." Yet, everyone experiences off days at work. How many of us have faced termination or threats over a rough patch? Remember when Odion Ighalo faced threats, leading to his premature departure from the Super Eagles team? It's a stark reminder that adversity is a part of life.
Alex Iwobi, like his fellow Super Eagles teammates, has poured his heart and soul into his craft. Bullying him, whether online or offline, is unjust and reprehensible. These athletes are not immune to emotions; they have families, careers, and aspirations. Why do we allow our frustrations to manifest as cruelty towards others?

While thieves and corrupt leaders in government often receive accolades for their ill-gotten gains, let us redirect our energy towards combating such systemic injustices. Alex Iwobi has proudly represented our nation, bringing joy to countless fans through his performances.

Let us unite in putting an end to cyberbullying.
