No be small matter we dey hear for English football oh, as Super Eagles forward Tolu Arokodare don enter wahala after dem dish am racist abuse on social media. Na wah! This one come after him side, Wolves, collect 1-0 for Crystal Palace, where im even get penalty wey dem comot from am first half. Chai!
Arokodare no just sit down dey take am easy, as him come post for Instagram say, ‘E still dey shock me say we dey live for time wey people fit express rubbish like this without any wahala. Them no suppose dey for our game at all, and we gatz take action to punish dem wey dey spoil the sport like this.’ E make sense as he talk am.
No be only Arokodare o. Sunderland winger, Romaine Mundle, sef don collect him own share of the bad belle after him come from bench for their 3-1 defeat to Fulham. Dem don call the abuse ‘vile’ and ‘unacceptable,’ and even talk say na ‘no be representative of Sunderland AFC’ as e no show wetin their community stand for. Abeg, wetin we dey talk? Mundle don even waka go delete him Instagram account. E be like say e don too much for am.
But e no stop for Arokodare and Mundle alone, as dem don dey send same kind abuse to Burnley midfielder Hannibal Mejbri and Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana too after dem finish their 1-1 match for Stamford Bridge. Chai! Wetin be all this wahala? Anti-discrimination group, Kick It Out, don show concern say dis matter don dey happen too often for football, and dem dey call for strong measure to combat these kain things.
Premier League sef don condemn the act in serious way and tell everybody say dem go face heavy consequences like ban from club and legal wahala if dem catch anybody wey dey do discrimination. E no go better for people wey no sabi how to behave.
Ayo na wetin we go do? Im don dey clearly say say dis na serious matter wey need attention. E don reach time make we dey take concrete action wey go make all these kind rubbish stop for football pitch.
