Osimhen received a huge amount of money after scoring against his Super Eagles teammate Maduka Okoye on Monday night.
Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen will receive €125k (₦186m) after scoring against his countryman Maduka Okoye in Napoli’s 1-1 draw against Udinese on Monday night.
Osimhen grabbed the headlines for Napoli in a match that had another Nigerian stand out for Udinese. The former Lille striker put the Neapolitans ahead in the 51st minute with a brilliant header from a Matteo Politano cross.
Victor Osimhen towers home a header against Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye in the Serie A. Although Isaac Success’ finish in injury time denied Osimhen the winner and earned Udinese a precious point, the Chelsea target went home with €125k.
Before the match, Naples news outlet, Napoli Oniline had revealed that Osimhen would receive €125k bonus if he scored 15 league goals this season.
The Nigerian striker was on 14 going into the match against The Little Zebras, with his header in the match taking his league tally to 15.
As a result, Osimhen earned €125k in bonus for scoring 15 league goals this season as stipulated in his contract.
Osimhen’s 15 league goals in 23 games this season are impressive, even though he has not been able to match the 26 he scored to fire Napoli to the title last season. The 25-year-old missed a major part of the season after helping Nigeria reach the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. But despite missing a few games due to international commitments and injury, he is on course to have his second-best year in Naples.
kendrick9: Wrong. He's not the main man. Wirtz is the crown jewel of that team and the full backs are very important too. Not forgetting Xhaka too.
Your opinion ...Boniface was the most important part of the team until he got injured. He was among the top three scorers in Bundesliga before January (Guirassy, Boniface and Kane)
kendrick9: He barely starts. Mostly comes on as a sub
Yes, that's due to four months he spent injured. However, he still made the list because of his great contributions to the success of the team from the beginning of the season until he joined the super eagles' Afcon camp in January where he got injured. He was Leverkusen's main man and one of the shining stars of Bundesliga this season.
Imagine that he still tops the scorers' list for his club despite playing fewer games (27 matches)

Her daughter was drunk.
He threw the fruit away because it was bad.
it is actually an ambiguous expression which could be interpreted either way. It is not the same as your example which has a pronoun 'it' representing the object (fruit)
In the case of the OP's sentence, we have a 'she' that could be referring to either the subject (mother) or the object (daughter).
All I can see is that the so called obidients are jobless idle asses. They are always first to comment on every thread and they spew nothing but garbage.

Wikipedia:
Automated border control systems (ABC) or eGates are automated self-service barriers which use data stored in a chip in biometric passports along with a photo or fingerprint taken at the time of entering the eGates to verify the passport holder's identity. Travellers undergo biometric verification using facial or iris recognition, fingerprints, or a combination of modalities. After the identification process is complete and the passport holder's identity is verified, a physical barrier such as a gate or turnstile opens to permit passage. If the passport holder's identification is not verified or if the system malfunctions, then the gate or turnstile does not open and an immigration officer will meet the person.
Customs reduces exchange rate for import duties payment by N91.1
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has reduced the exchange rate for import duties collection from N1238.1 to the dollar to N1,147/$. This represents a decline of N91.1 since the last reduction on April 10th April.
The customs exchange rate for duties collection has stayed at N1238/$ for over a week now- the longest it has stayed at a particular rate in recent times.
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) through the CBN has consistently fixed the exchange rate to reflect then official market rate on the NAFEM window hence the regular changes in rate.
Strengthening of the naira
The naira in the past one month has strengthened significantly in both in official and parallel market occasioned by the reforms instituted by the CBN. Some of the reforms include; selling USD to BDCs at N1101/$, cash pooling for IOCs which limited the amount of FX they could repatriate immediately and others.
The significant gains in the value of the naira in recent time has made the Analysts at Goldman Sachs predict the naira to be one of the best performing currencies globally.
In an interview, the President of the Association of Bureau De Change Operators (ABCON) stated that BDC operators were buying dollars at N980/$– a figure far below the FX rate on the official window.
Decline in FX reserve
In recent times, many have accused the management of the apex bank for defending the naira with the country foreign reserve on the back of observed declines in the FX reserve.
Nairametrics earlier reported that Nigeria’s foreign reserve dropped by over $2 billion in the past one month. According to the report, the FX reserve dropped from $34.45 billion to $32.29 billion- the lowest in about six years.
However, the Governor of the CBN, Yemi Cardoso in an engagement during the World Bank-IMF spring summit noted that the bank does not intend to defend the naira rather the decline in the foreign reserve was due to payment of external debt obligation.
FG Vows Clampdown On Traders Inflating Commodity Prices
The FCCPC expressed worry that despite the recent appreciation of the Naira, consumers continue to face escalating costs in the prices of goods.
By Kayode Oyero Updated April 17, 2024
The Federal Government has vowed to take stringent regulatory measures against traders “unfairly inflating prices” of goods and commodities.
The government, through its agency, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), expressed worry that despite the recent appreciation of the Naira against the dollar, consumers continue to face escalating costs without a corresponding decrease in prices of goods and commodities.
“This situation is unacceptable, and the FCCPC is committed to protecting consumers from exploitation,” the Commission’s chief Adamu Abdullahi said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The FCCPC understands the significant financial strain these rising prices are placing on Nigerian households. As a result, the Commission is taking proactive steps to address this issue.
“While the FCCPC cannot directly regulate prices, the Commission will utilise its existing legal framework to enforce fair competition and consumer protection provisions.
“This includes monitoring and investigating unusual price hikes, addressing complaints filed by consumers, and taking action against any businesses found to be engaging in anti-competitive practices such as price-fixing, price gouging or cartel formation.”
The Commission said its operatives have been directed to intensify monitoring of both formal and informal markets, where businesses may be taking advantage of market conditions to unfairly inflate prices, and ramp up enforcement activities.
“The operatives will be working collaboratively with trade associations, farmer groups, and other stakeholders to identify and remove unnecessary barriers to entry in various sectors, combat price-fixing, and dismantle cartels. This will encourage increased competition, ultimately leading to lower prices for consumers.”
‘Economy In Right Direction’
Meanwhile, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has said that the Nigerian economy is moving in the right direction as policies of the new administration has started slowing down food inflation.
The minister spoke virtually on Channels Television’s Business Incorporated programme on Tuesday from Washington DC where he is attending the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings.
Prices of food and basic commodities have gone through the roof in the last weeks, as Nigerians battle one of the country’s toughest economic crises sparked by the current government’s twin policies of petrol subsidy removal and unification of forex windows.
On Monday, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS)’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed that the food inflation rate in March 2024 stood at 3.62%, showing a decline of 0.17% from February 2024, when it was 3.79%. But despite the drop recorded by the NBS, many Nigerians have lamented that the reduction has not reflected in the cost of basic food items like garri, millet, yam, bread coupled with energy and housing costs.
Though the naira has appreciated against the dollar in recent weeks, gaining over 40%, from about N1,900/$ to about N1,100/$1 now, inflation rate stood at 33.20% for March 2024 and interest rate at 24.75%.
Nawa o. So, we aren't talking about dollar going up again, it's now Ukraine and Russia
We are too wicked and greedy in this country. When they raised the price, they blame it on dollar but now that dollar don dey come down, to bring the price down now na another wahala
Peter Obi and his Obidient movement cannot match the Tinubu government in savvy politics, political networking and getting out the votes. But they can and will defeat this administration in gaslighting and propaganda if the Tinubu government does not step up their game in countering propaganda.
The regime is doing a good job in projecting the positive things that are happening under the President. But they have to win over those who have been brainwashed by this movement. Do not underestimate Obidients. These guys have a natural gift for propaganda and can create an alternate reality.
Even today, many years after it was disproven, some of them get upset with you if you disagree with their mass delusion that Buhari died and was replaced with a clone from Sudan. You become the crazy person, while they are the sane ones. They even have a date of death for their own Buhari (much as I believe his reign was a mistake, may Buhari live long). They have photoshopped headlines where the African Union gave a minute of silence in respect of their Buhari.
This movement has so many distortions of history and can marshal out alternative facts, that you begin to question even your own moral compass.
For example, it is wrong for the National Assembly to buy 400 SUVs for Legislators, but it is okay for Obi to have purchased 400 SUVs for Anambra Igwes, because times were different. But when you tell them that Labour Legislators did not reject their SUVs, they say, 'You can't blame Obi for that'. But, they want to blame Tinubu for what the Legislature is doing. There is a disconnect!
If this government cannot find a way to neutralise the echo chamber with which they sustain their ecosystem of delusion, they will continue preaching to their choir that: Peter Obi won the 2023 election Bola Tinubu did not graduate from Chicago State University That Obi developed Anambra, and Tinubu destroyed Lagos Gbadebo Rhodes Vivor was rigged out in Lagos The Tinubu administration frustrated Air Peace Boko Haram were recruited into the Nigerian Army The demolitions in Lagos were targeted rather than planned Other people voted moved by tribalism, except their movement
Each of these postulations is a lie. But such is the power of propaganda, that if not countered, the lie becomes the truth.
He said he would unify the exchange rate in order to restore foreign investors' confidence and in less than a year, both official and parallel market rate have reached convergence after a very long time. Foreign investors will no more have to fear that their dollars they brought in at official rate of N450 would be sold to them at parallel market rate of N750 when they want to repatriate their earnings.
Things can only get better. We are confident in your ability Mr President. We know that Nigeria is in the right hand and the current hard time will soon end.
Even the cry cry babies are seeing your efforts but if they don't find all means to wail and feed their fellows with villainous fallacies, of what use would they be?
FreedomfromtheT: Same absurd narrative and propaganda. So sensible isn't it? Who did Peter Obi insult? Who did Peter Obi ask his supporters to insult?
Same tactics, different methods of application. He's as cunning and manipulate as those of you who support him. He doesn't have to insult anyone as you do.
Your sarcasm smells frustration. Let me ask you a question. Is Obi any different from his supporters?
Obi is not in any way better than the kind of followers he keeps. So, stop the gaslighting
FreedomfromtheT: 'The children in our school need to pass Mathematics very well. I know a very good Mathematics teacher but I would rather employ am average Mathematics teacher because I don't like the relatives of the competent one. There is a very good medical doctor in that hospital but I would rather go to a quack doctor to operate on me because I don't like the way the family members of the good doctor talk to me. I know a competent pilot but I would rather board the plane of a quack pilot so as to show my disdain for the relatives of the competent pilot' I am not very wise?
Im not sure its the same track o, or maybe it was extended, not sure. This is the red line and its tracks are new.
The reason sanwo olu was able to do it fast is because most of its tracks are on the ground. Few routes above ground, so not like the blue line that is mostly above ground.
You can search 'red line' on twitter and see all the videos of the track. It doesnt look like the old one.
No new track is laid for red line. It will share track with the federal govt's standard gauge. Lagos state only built the stations and the level crossing bridges for vehicles.
Sanwo-Olu really tried for finishing this blue line whilst constructing the red line at the same time. I'm sure Ambode will be regretting his decision to abandon this laudable and highly impactful project.
Phase one of the red line starts from Oyingbo and terminates at Agbado. The second Phase will head to Marina from Oyingbo, thereby linking the red line with the blue line. The phase one is 90% ready.
How can you approach the Tribunal without clear cut evidence. The Tribunal Judge was so clear and pointed out the loopholes in their petition.
For instance, Atiku claimed his votes were reduced without citing exact number of votes that were reduced and the pooling booth it took place. The tribunal said it was too generic and evasive and lacks substance.
It is actually the verdict on Peter Obi and LP's petition that is being read now not Atiku's.
ume: We are talking about the rail line here not the trian source of power ,Educate me on the engineering behind riging a rail way line with high voltage and train will still run on it
Electric trains are powered in two different ways, overhead cables or the one called third rail.
The Lagos SG adopted the Third Rail option for its blue line rail. Power will be passed to the train through the third rail (those yellow rails in the picture). You can search for more information about how third rail system works on Google.
SpartaOfLagos: If you're a Muslim and you carry Islam on your head like Gala , know that in Dubai that's even more Islamic than you in Nigeria named one of there mosque after Mary the mother of Jesus .
So calm down and tolerate other people with different faith.
You guys know nothing about Islam but always want to tell Muslims how they should practice their faith. Nigerian Muslims have been naming their children Maryam (Maria) and Isah which is the Arabic form of Yeshua, before your ancestors where born. Jesus is a Latin form of same name (Yeshua).
Even today, in Latin languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, Jesus is pronounced as 'hesus' while it is also pronounced as 'yesu' or 'yesus' in other languages. It is Isah in Arabic just as Moses is Musa.
Islam recognises Jesus and his mother as servants of God, not god and mother of god. We adore them and we name our children after them (Salamullahi alaihima)
You can go on trolling Muslims as you like...it changes nothing, only makes your lives more useless.
Most of you will make your kids go to school till they become useless. You took them to school at age 3 and abandon them there. During long vacation you still send them to school. To do what?
Can't you spend time to bond with your kids? What exactly are they going to achieve in school during vacation? Vacation lesson only favour school owners, not you. Allow kids rest for God's sake.
If you should engage kids during long vacation then teach them skills. Enrol your kids in centres that they can learn practical computer usage, coding, programming, painting and decoration, catering, musical instruments. Let them learn martial art, how to shot guns, how to wrestle. Teach them something beyond pure academics.
If a school should organize long vacation class then it should gear towards extra curricula activities - debate, modelling, music concert, science fair, mini project. How would you call kids back to school during holiday to learn Math, English, Chemistry, Social studies, accounting, by same teachers that taught them during school period. What is the difference? If these teachers knew what to teach why didn't they do it during normal school session.
Education is beyond memorizing facts. Give your kids opportunity to develop and be better prepare for life.
oneolajire: A time Nigeria was under the tyranny of Abacha, witnessed economic downturn and we children of teachers could hardly eat and our parents pay house rent.
Nig suddenly won the Olympic soccer gold and it seems we have all been fed by the cup. The joy of winning temporarily united the nation alongside the Abacha junta.
Best ever football team Nigeria ever produced
....and Nigeria's best moment in football till date. Qualified for first WC in 1993, won Afcon in 1994, went to the WC and shone, got Africa's highest FIFA ranking till date (5th) and capped it with Olympic gold in 1996.
