See how Calvin Bassey's change of allegiance and call up went smoothly and without delay, yet some adults here believe that NFF are 'holding' Lookman and Ejaria

Osimhen goal vs Cagliari...

Another day, Another Osimhen Brace plus an Osimhen special gesture to Yours sincerely

Another Commanding Center forward Performance from My Man, Victor Osimhen. Superb showing. He could have bagged a hattrick infact. He could have done better in one or two other instances of play but it's okay, there are many more games to play and more goals to come for the Monster Machine.

Lots of positives in his display. A Center Forward with Mad Presence and Dynamic movements across the lentgh and width of the final third.

Another thing to be excited for is the variety in Osimhen's goals so far. He's done the Poacher's goal, the Aerial presence Goal, the fox in the box Goal, the battering ram Goal crowned with technique....

He is a striker who will find the net via any angle or any means. Not your regular tap-in merchant Striker. Victor will give you an all round performance plus the goals. This is one of the things that stand him out and I hope he continues to improve greatly and eventually write his name into the history books of the beautiful game.


Now, away from his performance on the field (his battleground for Glory), I wanna share a little something on his "off-the-field" performance....

Folks, Ladies and Gentlemen.... it is with great pleasure and honor that I show you the gift that Our Super Eagles Number 9, Victor Osimhen sent me recently.

A day after his Europa League heroics, Osimhen got in touch with me again through an associate of his and he eventually messaged me on Sunday (3 days after his World Class display against Leicester) after I had thanked him via Instagram chats.

He sent me one of his Top Original Napoli jerseys. Yes, you read that right. An Osimhen-delivered Napoli Jersey.

It came as a huge surprise because I was just in Cloud 9 for him and smiling at all the reactions of the British media because I knew after a performance like that, those reactions were inevitable. And in the middle of all that noise and praises, one of the first things he does is to contact me and send me a Jersey with room for more ofcos.


Note: I have had it since Tuesday but I decided to wait till after today's game to finally share it because I knew he would be on the scoresheet again.

I guess He's becoming Inevitable with every moment he gets on to the pitch.

In conclusion, believe me when I say emphatically that We have a great lad in Victor Osimhen. Not just a great player in the making. But a fantastic human with a great heart, a focused mind and a passionate spirit. And I have a thing for Serious Outlier talents. Talents that are generational. This is part of why I am a strong believer in the Crazy and Madly Exciting Limitless Talents of Victor James Osimhen. The Benin Boy From Olusosun.


Further Note: For more pics and a Vid, check my twitter. NL won't permit me to load more pics. Site says it's too large.


Just wanted to share this special moment/gesture with you. Osimhen sends his love to all Naija fans as well.... Good evening y'all

TheSupernerd will be so pleased.

Barcelona2021:
I doubt if Norwegian fans are giving Erling Braut Haaland a 1/10 of hype Victor Oshimen has been getting on this very thread.

one user even said the iconic super eagles are lucky to have him, how? what has he done ? I mean for both clubs and country?

that boy playing for Lorient as should be our number 1 striker, then Onoachu and Awoniyi in that pecking order....


if he's not on goal drought, then it would be red card or injury,,,,,, it's a matter of time before Napoli consider his transfer a bad deal and find a replacement... .


the truth is bitter.

ChrisKels:
Just so you guys don't forget it easily, i had to announce it on this remarkable page 11111 that Nigeria won't qualify for the 2022 world cup. Quote this page and message when we done with the qualifiers.

charlesemeka85:
I don tell una say na fed character slot shehu and Musa still take dey play for super eagles una no wan hear

zuchyblink:
stop comparing apples with oranges. Who will buy a Nigerian player born in Nigeria who played U20 two times for #60 or $70 million? My brother you lack football history.

TheLoneCitizen:
Not Emeka and ScoreNigeria falling for a fake Fabrizio Romano account.

Danycrusoe:
I just thought to myself, if Osihmen had had a spectacular goalscoring form for Napoli last season, maybe Inter would have considered him as a replacement for Lukaku

AndSunGorilla:
When she finish from kwara poly? Hope say she don marry o? Because as a baba Ibeji myself I know want make the lady feel any pressure to marry as her twin brother don marry. How old is she though, maybe I fit link her up.

Eizzy003:
Wanna da talk tinz oooo
How osimhen take better pass Werner, how many career goals osimhen get, how many goals wer Werner get for e last season for bundesliga, OK u will say Werner did not perform last season, but how comes he keep benching Tammy Abraham (Chelsea highest goal scorer for 2 seasons) as a striker and he keeps benching pulisic as a winger.
Simply because a striker doesn't score does not mean you will turn a blind eye to other part of his game. He scored a total of 24 goals last season of which 12 wer offsides due to the fact that he has speed and Chelsea players no da gree release ball give am fast.
Most Chelsea goals last season were scored due to his runs that take opposition defenders from the actual goalscorers.
So make wanna no talk some kind tins, Osimhen is good but FOR NOW Werner is better than him.

andrew444:
Then you don’t know your club

No be the same club wey sign top class striker like Werner ?

Is osimhen better than Werner ?

When it comes to striker issues at Chelsea Na to just Siddon Dey look

No be Tammy score 15 epl goals and the following season from purchase Werner

A club will only refuse to sign a player like lukaku when they only have a world class striker there

Now the point is if osimhen is playing at Chelsea they will still sign lukaku unless osimhen can guarantee 20 epl goals in his first season ,Chelsea no get patient with any player ,especially if them purchase you with big money .

andrew444:
Today is my bday

Happy bday to me

You all should have a wonderful day .

BascoVanVeli:
Wisdom Ubani signs with NK Lokomotiva Zagreb in Croatia

komekn:
I

That's not what l have heard.


Finally not sure he will qualify for work permit.

ChrisKels:
Forward, long passes or sideways passes? Most fouled just like Etebo by unnecessarily holding on to the ball looking for who to flex muscles with? Abeg make I hear word

andrewbaba44:
Not up to 5 years in Denmark and he already got a danish passport ?

Well what do I know

TheSuperNerd:
His transfer price tag (most likely close to 10million euros) will help them navigate pass that. Also, the owners of FC Midtjylland is the same as those who own Brentford. So we watch.

TheSuperNerd:
It's fine my good man. I don't do this all the time. But some things must be strongly addressed a few times.

Like that silly lowlife comment from Charlesemeka85. About time I put him in his place. It was necessary I did so. Thank you.

charlesemeka85:
You must be insane to tell me to shut up, re u crazy? Bleep off mofo

See this one, which frank onyeke re you talkin about that is better than billing? The one in Denmark?

Hate don dey nearly make u run mad. Bleep off n go get a job

andrewbaba44:
Well said bro ,bless you

Most of my brothers here are just too childish and emotional that once a player rejects Nigeria they will hate you immediately

Anybody is open to play for naija ,Na only talk una go talk una no be the coaching crew

As far as you are not begged to play for naija then you are always welcome

If billing really wants to play for naija trust me he will and there is nothing anybody can do about that as their opinion ends inside their toilet

Neobulletzz:
The earlier you people accept that in as much as you are looking for loyalty from these players, that football is their job, that is where they get their daily bread, that is what they do for a living and who wouldn’t want the more juiciest offer in this life. To be honest these players are not blind, they go on social media too, they read the news and their dad been Nigerian too
If you as a Nigerian after you don finally find means japa, God do am for you, you were able to leave this country, you have dual citizenship one way or the either with maybe UK or Europe. If you son happens to be a footballer, common with the way the country is, let’s even just focus on the footballing side, they are not blind it is on news that this county owe players, no be today, I won’t be surprised if any news comes out today that Mikel is still been owed, it is on news how this country treat their ex players. Maybe we just use our emotions to yab this players because they chose to fight for a better future, in as much as sports is fun, it is their job, that is what they feed on and grow their life with and no one like to be owed, everybody wants a better life too. We can put aside our emotions, if I think I am good enough to fight for a starting shirt for England or France and co, I will put up that fight, you think I want to be owed. This is a sport where anyone can go on one year injury. This is my job, what happens if I gets injury of such, you think I just want to be forgotten. You people can abuse them all you want but deep down you would not blame them for putting up the fight to play for a better country, everyone wants a better life

But the fact that they chose to fight for a better country, a better life does not change the fact that they are better than what we have.
To be honest Billing is good enough to make that Denmark squad but if coach no rate you, he no rate you or probably the coach no like you or whatever reason the coach no dey call you just like Laporte, he was also waiting for France call up, and he didn’t get, he moved on, he changed his mind as he could represent Spain. Spain no do agidi because they knows he is better than all what they have
If Billing waited for Denmark and he didn’t get and he decides it time to move on, if he is better than what we have, why make dem no call am? And to be honest except Ndidi, he is better than any other DM we have.
Zaha self was 25 before he converted to Ivory Coast so make dem come reject am because he was fight for English shirt before ba?
You can call them names all you want but that is their job and what they feed on and you are telling me I have the opportunity to fight for a country where I will be owed salary or the one I won’t be getting my pay
The risk of my job is getting injured, so you are going to just leave me if I get injured
They are human beings too, they think about all these things
You guys talk about how you will be bagging up deals once you put on the England shirt and you are expecting them not to to fight to put on that jersey
You should cut them some slack, it doesn’t change anything. If they decide to represent Nigeria tomorrow, they should be called if they are good and better than what we have
There are a lot of Nigerians with dual citizenship in down of English isthman league or national league, so if anyone of them decide early in their career that they would want to represent Nigeria even if they are not up to standards they should be the ones we should be calling abi because they made commitment to Super Eagles early in their career, all that one no follow
You people keep making a case for Nwakali, instead of you people to leave the lad let him show that he is better or even as good as you guys hype him here, una no go allow us hear word. Note, I am not saying Nwakali can’t be better but he has been exposed to the so called world class facility since entering Europe after the U17 World Cup so what is still his excuse. Osimhen, Ndidi, Chukwueze have all step up their game since then so until Nwakali prove that he is better than whoever you guys claim he is better than, he isn’t, no be by make una dey tell us for here say Nwakali is good at this or that, let him show us on the pitch
You guys keep shouting the players should make their decision and when they do, you start saying they were using you to catch cruise before so you don’t want when they still have solid good number of years

https://twitter.com/Zettergol/status/1387056273816911872?s=19[/quote]Oshimen should watch his back. To think this guy was still in Lithuanian league in just under 2 years is unbelievable. His finishing are top class.
