What did Boniface say?
Werder Bremen's new signing Victor Boniface said he searches for negative comments online to clap back at individuals who troll him.
In a viral post on Instagram, the 24-year-old narrated how a podcaster spoke about him not having football talent.
The Super Eagles said he told the podcaster to send her banking details, but blocked her before she could reply. He said:
"So there was a time I searched my name online (Twitter), and there's a random lady saying I don't have a talent. I searched for that and saw what she said. I said okay, let me look for this lady, then I went to her Instagram.
"One mind told me to send this girl a message via DM; it's funny, but listen. She said I did not have a talent, so I opened my message; guess what is there? She has been asking me for money for a long time; you understand. You're saying I don't have a talent, and you're in my DM begging me for money.

Negative comments motivate me - Arokodare
Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare said his mental therapy after every bad game is to visit his socials.
Speaking on The Culture League podcast, the former Genk player said he picks the positives from every negative comment online. He said:
"Deleting your socials for attention is too much because it's your life and you have to dictate what happens. For me personally, I wouldn't do it.
"When people are saying negative things about me, I do look for it. Just like I go searching for it. For me, it's motivation.
"When I am down mentally, or like I'm feeling down after a bad game or something, I go look for those things because to be honest, I don't always want to hear all those nice stuff. When they are saying those negative things, there's some truth in there. I look for it, and then I love to prove people wrong."
