Football legend JayJay Okocha, along with other prominent figures, including Nigerian celebrities, has rallied in support of his nephew, Alex Iwobi, amidst a wave of cyberbullying following Nigeria's defeat to Cote d'Ivoire in the African Cup of Nations final match.
On Tuesday, Okocha penned a heartfelt message to his Instagram page: "I pray for my country, Nigeria, and those who can only see hate and find fault in others. When our efforts seem futile, let us remember to treat others with kindness, for all we have in this life is each other."
He continued, "We love you, #alexanderiwobi, and we will persevere despite the negativity. The Lord is always good, and we trust His will for our lives. Amen."
Okocha's words echo the sentiment shared by many in a show of solidarity, emphasizing the importance of unity and resilience in the face of adversity. As cyberbullying continues to plague social media platforms, it is heartening to see influential figures like Okocha using their platforms to spread messages of love and support.
Let us stand together with Alex Iwobi and all those who face online harassment, remembering that kindness and compassion can triumph over hate. Together, we can create a safer and more inclusive online community.
