My Nigerian Fans Ask Me For Money Instead Of Autographs – Alex Iwobi by silver94(m): 8:31pm On Dec 13, 2016 |
Arsenal youngster, Alex Iwobi has expressed shock on how his Nigerian fans ask him for money rather than autographs. Iwobi made this known in an interview with Guardian. He said: “Everyone appreciates you [in Nigeria], you’re almost like a king!”. When I arrived at the airport I thought, I’ll just have my earphones in, but everyone was like ‘Iwobi! Iwobi!’ Oh gosh. Hi guys! “I didn’t know what to expect. It was just mad. I always go with Kelechi Iheanacho. When we go we get escorted. Because I’m not used to the Nigerian culture as much as they are, they do help me with it. They help me with the fans. The fans are very different there. They don’t ask me for autographs, they ask for boots, money. At my debut we played in a stadium that holds 30,000 and there was 60,000 – I don’t understand how. People were standing on the floodlights, on the scoreboard,” he added. “I was thinking, ‘What? This isn’t even safe! But people there will do anything to watch the match. Sometimes in a Premier League game the fans are a bit quiet but in Nigeria you just hear trumpets, everything. The atmosphere is so different compared to England.” http://lagosconvo.com/entertainment-news/nigerian-fans-ask-money-instead-autographs-alex-iwobi/ 24 Likes 4 Shares

What's the (economic) importance of an autograph to a man battling poor governance. .. We can't even charge phones with NEPA light... We have crude but fuel is costly, if u happen to find. We're battling recession and you're talking autographs? And this MMM scare? 2 Likes |
