Super Eagles Legendary Footballer, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, has taken to the digital pitch of Instagram to rally behind his nephew, Alex Iwobi, who faced a barrage of online bullying following the Nigerian Super Eagles’ defeat to Ivory Coast in the AFCON finals.

A torrent of Nigerians flooded the player’s page, hurling insults and laying blame at his feet for the loss.

In response to the onslaught of cyberbullying, Iwobi made the strategic move to clear his Instagram page of all photos and videos.

In response, Okocha took to his page and wrote:

‘’I pray for my country Nigeria and the people that can only hate and see nothing good in others, when effort counts for nothing, treat people the way you want them to treat you, all we have is this life is each other, we love you @alexanderiwobi and we keep going no matter what they say, the lord is good all the time and we trust that his will be done in our lives amen”
