An interesting social media conversation occurred between Victor Boniface and his Super Eagles teammate Victor Osimhen.
Nigerian athletes and Super Eagles teammates Victor Boniface and Victor Osimhen recently shared a humorous conversation on social media that demonstrated their friendship.
The interaction followed Osimhen’s impressive performance for Galatasaray in their 2-1 victory over rivals Besiktas in the Super Lig.
After the match, Galatasaray’s social media team celebrated Osimhen’s contributions with a post featuring him and the caption in pidgin:
“Dis food sweet no be small,” to which Osimhen humorously replied, “Na GALATASARAY Cook Am.”
Osimhen has scored four goals in five matches for Galatasaray. However, Boniface, currently with Bayer Leverkusen, found Osimhen’s playful tone amusing yet felt compelled to remind him about professionalism.
He commented, “Be professional bro. I don’t like this for people wey don c£££e,” referencing fans who have previously urged Boniface to maintain a more serious demeanour on social media.
This friendly banter between the two players highlights not only their close friendship but also the pressures and expectations that come with being professional athletes.
Boniface’s comment serves as a reminder of the balance athletes must strike between engaging with fans and maintaining a level of professionalism in their public personas.
The exchange has resonated with fans, showing the lighter side of football while also hinting at the underlying expectations that come with their status as professionals.
In a related development, Osimhen’s impressive display and match-winner against Besiktas have led to calls for him to be sent packing and out of the Super Lig.
Former Besiktas player Batuhan Karadeniz is not a happy man and has not held back in his opinion of Victor Osimhen, calling for the Nigerian striker’s immediate departure from Galatasaray.
Karadeniz has described Osimhen as a “problem” to the Super Lig following the forward’s impressive destruction of his former club.
With his most recent performance in the Super Lig derby, Osimhen increased his season total to four goals and two assists in just five Galatasaray games.
