Alex Iwobi Under Fire For Smelly-Mouth Gesture To Hamara Of Rennes [Video]
Arsenal left-winger, Alex Iwobi has made a smelly mouth gesture that has caused a lot of reactions from social media users.
Last night, Arsenal came back from a 2-0 first leg deficit to humiliate Rennes by a 3-0 scoreline in front of home fans as discussed in an earlier report by iDONSABI.com.
During stoppage time of the encounter, Hamara and Iwobi had gotten into a scuffle but the latter withdrew from Hamara of Rennes holding his nose in a gesture that suggested that the Rennes player had a disturbing mouth odour.
Many have shown their disappointment for Alex Iwobi suggesting that he was wrong on all fronts and that it would have been tagged as a racist gesture if it were between a white and a black.

Recall that Gupta was fined sometime ago for calling the Gunner a gorilla. Here are reactions of Nigerians who feel the Nigerian’s reaction was uncalled for.
You insulted the first pic so hard even called him a racist but Celebrated the second pic. Called him a savage and clapped for him for being Stupid.

Bad move from Iwobi, this.
Thought he was being “funny” in front of thousands but he just looks like a total bell end.

What Iwobi did to that player yesterday was really dumb but y'all won't say anything because he's not a white guy.
God knows we'd be shouting racism on the TL if he was.

Iwobi should be penalized for this act, I think that's disrespectful and embarrassing… What if the same was done to him by a white player, he won't be happy and will claim victim of racism.
Don't do to others what you won't accept. #StopTheHate #SayNoToRacism pic.twitter.com/0amhPtdwIg

The Iwobi video is disgusting and we need to call it what it’s. Flip it the other way round, If it was a white guy that did that to Iwobi, the ranting on here will be outrageous.

Forget! What Iwobi did might be painful and embarrassing but I don't think its that's serious. And you people should stop that nonsense black man to black man sentiment.
