Super Eagles player Victor Osimhen gave a young admirer who dressed like him and showed comparable abilities a gift of N2.5 million.
Osimhen became aware of it.,when well-known Instagram blogger Tunde Ednut uploaded the video to his page on Tuesday.
In the video, the boy could be seen in a jersey with ‘Victor’ and the number ‘9’ at the back. He also wore a mask and had a hairstyle similar to Osimhen.
Reacting to the video, Osimhen requested Ednut’s assistance in locating the boy and found him in Ivory Coast with the help of a content creator,Eriq Morak.
Giving an update, Ednut wrote, “I initially thought this little man was Nigerian. You won’t believe we found him on the Ivory Coast.
“#eriqmorak found him. He lives on the Ivory Coast. I couldn’t see his message, so he reached out to #ogb recently, and OGB messaged me. I spoke to the family briefly to make sure it was the boy.”
Osimhen subsequently contacted and presented the money to the boy, which was met with gratitude from his family. They shared a video thanking the footballer for his generosity.
