AFCON 2023: Iwobi Deletes All Instagram Photos Amid Criticisms

In the aftermath of Nigeria’s 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final, Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has made a significant move on his official Instagram account. Amidst the criticisms directed towards him and his teammates following the disappointing loss, Iwobi has chosen to remove all photos from his Instagram page.

A quick check conducted by VANGUARD on Monday afternoon revealed that only one video remains on Iwobi’s Instagram account. This video, shared ten weeks ago, stands as the solitary content on the platform, and notably, the comment section has been locked.

Iwobi, who played for 79 minutes in the final, was unable to help secure victory for the Eagles, who were vying to add to their three AFCON championships. The Fulham midfielder was eventually substituted by Alhassan Yusuf for the last 10 minutes of the game.

The decision to wipe his Instagram account of all photos suggests that Iwobi might be taking a temporary break from social media, possibly in response to the intense scrutiny and criticism faced by the team. It is not uncommon for athletes to step away from social platforms during challenging times, seeking a respite from negative comments and opinions.

The move comes in the wake of heightened criticism of the players, with Iwobi being one of the focal points. The decision to lock the comment section of the remaining video indicates that he may be trying to shield himself from further online negativity.

Social media has become an integral part of athletes’ lives, providing a platform for both support and criticism, and how they navigate this space can have a significant impact on their mental well-being.

As fans await further developments, the removal of photos from Iwobi’s Instagram account serves as a testament to the challenges faced by athletes in the age of social media, where the line between professional and personal life is often blurred.
