Iwobi breaks silence on viral video about Super Eagles’ hotel in Morocco

Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi has clarified a video he previously shared showing the surroundings of the Super Eagles’ hotel in Rabat, Morocco.

The 29-year-old, on Monday, November 10, posted a video showing the outside of the team’s accommodation, which raised eyebrows among many Nigerians.

Many questioned the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) over the poor condition of the surroundings of the Rive Hôtel, where the team is currently lodged.

Following the backlash, the former Arsenal man came out to clarify the initial video he shared on social media.

“Are you seeing life? It’s all about perspective, because I snapped the view I have and people are thinking these guys are ungrateful,” Iwobi said in a social media post.

“Brother, I never said one thing. I just did one look like this, never said a word. Because, you see, in life, some people don’t even have yards; some of them don’t have beds.”

Nigeria will face Gabon on Thursday, November 13, in the semifinal of the playoffs.

The winner will meet either Cameroon or the Democratic Republic of Congo in the final on Sunday, November 16.
