Toni Iwobi, who has just been elected to the Italian Senate, has hit back at Mario Balotelli, after the Nice striker criticised him for representing a political party renowned for causing racial controversy.

Iwobi, who was born in Nigeria but has lived in Italy since the 1970s, became the first black Senator to be elected after the Lega party, led by Matteo Salvini, earned the majority of votes in Spirano.

Balotelli posted a message on his Instagram story that said: [quote]“Maybe I’m blind or maybe they haven’t told him yet that he’s black – what a disgrace!”

When asked about Balotelli’s message during an interview on Radio Capital, Iwobi replied:

“I’d rather just ignore him. I’m not interested in what he writes. I have to deal with enough controversy. I just want to think about my territory and the new role I’ve been elected to.

“He’s a great footballer and he will remain one, but I hope he sticks to his job, considering that’s what he is good at.”

A typical Nigerian man displaying his stupidity even as an elected senator in Italy. So because Balotelli is a player, he should not be able to speak against him for being a black man who is one major player of the anti-migrant party in Italy. He should even expect Balotelli not to focus on the road while driving but on the round leather ball. Home negro of Italy...congrats. May you be a senator forever.

Balo meant no harm, he was just trying to prepae iwobi's mind for racism. Forgetting the fact that iwobi has been in italian system before his father got to maturity age to woo his momma. Iwobi was very kind in his response tho!

But balotelli did not say anything wrong for anyone to be attacking him. To be honest the party Iwobi stood for has a terrible record in racial discrimination and at a point people thought Iwobi will change things within the party but at a stage he put up a full black bastard behaivor.

I followed his campaign and his interview on several platform I'm not too impress that is the truth. I'm so sure God must be regretting the day he created black race because too many bastards low lives among the black. If you have lived in US you will understand how some bastards African Americans hate us from African with passion same the animals in South Africa will protect the white and went on street to kill their fellow black.

And for my people I think soon the chest beating will begin because I can see the name *Iwobi*soon e-war will start.

Get live*
