Controversial Arewa X influencer Sarki has once again stepped into the spotlight for the wrong reasons after attacking Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze over his missed penalty in the tense match against Morocco. Known for his controversial takes and ethno regional bias that critics often describe as sectional Sarki went on a public tirade that quickly set X on fire.
His comments drew mixed reactions, with some users cheering him on while many others accused him of dragging football into Nigeria’s identity politics. What should have been a simple post match reflection turned into yet another episode of online tribal tension.
