Iwobi might not be all that glamorous or world class, but only few can achieve what he has. He came out from a big club’s academy, broke into the first team, and wait!!!!! He was never loaned out, not once. He has done what most glamorous or world class players couldn’t do, CONSISTENCY. Iwobi has consistently played top-tier football for over a decade now. Over 100 games for Arsenal. Over 100 games for Everton Over 100 games for Fulham Over 100 games for Nigeria. All under different managers. In fact, one of his managers, Marco Silva, loved him so much that he signed him to Everton. Even Marco Silva went to Fulham, he signed Iwobi again. This should tell you the kind of person and player he is. Zero scandal, zero attitude problems, never in the news for nonsense, a well-trained boy by his African parents. Even when we Nigerians turned our back on him and dragged him, he never said anything, and he stayed committed to us. Irrespective of the family affiliation with a big name like Okocha and the weight that name carried, it never distracted him. In fact, he always said he knew the pressure especially when playing for Nigeria, and he took advice from his uncle when necessary, and his uncle made sure he made his own name for himself. Put a respect on his name. Getting to the top is hard, staying at the top is even harder. He has done that while dropping back to back music, he didn’t take his eyes away from the game. Alex Iwobi, a proper student and lover of the game. A legend in my books because that level of consistency is not sold in the market.
Iwobi's 321st Premier League appearance today, some boy.

People with principles defend what’s right, even when it’s unpopular. If you won’t defend the truth because of gender bias, you’re simply a spineless hypocrite who stands for nothing. That’s a pitiful way to live.
There’re a million roles I’ll play before I’ll be caught playing devil’s advocate for men on Twitter 😂

Nobody will hold you accountable better than you, and nobody should believe in you more than you. Be your own troll and your own hype man. That's how I live.

Dear Alex Onyia @winexviv, Concerned Nigerians have read your recent tweet where you said the Ministry of Education is demanding total handover of the Olympiads portfolio so they can sponsor them with government funds. Please don’t fall for the illusion that the federal government is selling you. They didn’t care about these Olympiads for 7 years. Now that you’ve single-handedly redefined education and put the finest brains among our teens on the global map, they suddenly want to “sponsor” everything. Don’t let them politicize your hard work, which they will definitely do if you emotionally allow them. They will introduce tribalism, disqualify the best students, and push incompetent ones forward just as they’ve always done. Look at our athletes under government sponsorship. How many times have they missed international appearances? This is classic Tinubu and APC style. Please protect what you’ve built. Our children deserve merit, not politics. RT by Lending your voice 🙏

100th cap for Nigeria. Alex Iwobi has come a long for the Super Eagles since making his debut in 2015. He has now made more appearances than his uncle (Austin Jay Jay Okocha), who played 73 times for Naija 🇳🇬 A true Nigerian Eagle 👏
