Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles, and Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen, have pledged to extend a gesture of kindness to a young boy who emulates him.
In a video circulating on social media, the aspiring young footballer was seen imitating Victor Osimhen’s distinctive style. The boy wore a Super Eagles jersey with the name “Victor” and the number 9 on the back. Not stopping there, he added a mask similar to the one Osimhen uses.
It’s worth noting that Osimhen began wearing the mask after undergoing facial surgery following a collision with Inter Milan’s defender Skriniar in a Serie A match in October 2021. The mask is a protective measure that Osimhen will continue to use throughout his football career.
However, famous blogger Tunde Ednut also known as kingmaker shared the video of the little boy on his page and accompanied it with the caption; “Ah! Victor Osimhen don cause wahala for our area Oo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This one na VICTOR OSINACHI.”
