“I respect the fans but not to the extent of calling me 'Negro Di merda' It's not acceptable,” the midfielder says.

The 23-year-old midfielder is currently with the Super Eagles as they prepare for the second leg of the 2017 African Cup of Nations .

He missed out on the first leg which Nigeria drew 1-1 due to suspension from the red card he received last year.
