    Some of my fellow Nigerians are clowns, says Prince Eke

    Nollywood actor, Prince Eke, has condemned the bullies targeting Nigeria’s Super Eagles player, Alex Iwobi, following the team’s loss in AFCON.

    The Nation reported that many critics singled out Iwobi for blame in the defeat against Ivory Coast, the host country, prompting him to remove his pictures and videos from Instagram due to incessant trolling.

    Prince Eke expressed his support for Alex Iwobi, chastising those who supported #JusticeForMohbad but harassed the footballer for representing his nation.

    He warned against indulging in gambling and criticized some Nigerians for their behaviour, labeling them clowns.

    Prince also advised against relying on others to become wealthy.

    He said: “Some of my fellow Nigerians are clowns. You were part of the “#JusticeForMohbad” movement. Today, you are busy bullying Alex Iwobi for representing the country. Say NO to gambling, so you don’t depend on another man’s efforts to make a fortune #SayNoToBullying.”

    Popular Nollywood star, Prince Eke, has shared his experience of being kidnapped eight years ago. 

    He, however, said his colleagues were skeptical about the authenticity of his abduction at that time.

    The movie star, in a post via his Instagram page on Tuesday night, said he was abducted along the Ubima road in Rivers state.

    While describing his experience as ‘hell on earth’, he said many of his colleagues thought he lied about his ordeal just to raise money.
