Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has been slammed on social media by football fans after posting a photo of himself with some people in blackface.

The image Iniesta posted on his social media channel clearly shows two people in blackface as they attempted to dress up as a king that is traditionally black.

Iniesta was celebrating Feliz dias de Reyes which is a Christian tradition in Spain which commemorates the arrival of the three kings Balthazar, Melchior and Gaspar at the birth of Jesus.

But many football fans were livid with the post and some asked him to delete it as others also accused the Spaniard of casual racism.

The 34-year-old who currently plays for Japanese club Vissel Kobe is yet to say a word to peoples' reactions on the photo he posted.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
