Hope you have helped the Olusosun by boosting trade skills and building a football stadium or youth empowerment programs.

Olusosun didn't make you who you are. Many of your peers at Olusosun are still poor and unmade. They will get more confused when then hear this. You are a product of dream and preparation having a handshake with opportunity.

It is about God's grace as you keyed in exploring and polishing the football talent God gave you, waiting for opportunity to break. It came.

In summary, some grassroots club owners took you and honed your talent. Emmanuel Amunike scouted you and showed you to the world at the U17 World Cup. From there through Germany, Belgium, France, Italy and now Turkey. The rest as they say is sweet history.

Give these people some credit, Victor. God bless grassroots coaches who are often forgotten in spite of their contributions to the supply chain. Believe me, it is not easy.

Senior Chief you actually misinterpreted his statement, look at the question they said tell us a bit about your background, and remember what he was saying about the area was something personal, he said nobody gave him anything in the area but he learnt a lot from the place.
You only care about amuneke what about his sister that also helped by supporting his carrier and many others that we don't know, but I get where you are coming from maybe you haven't seen him giving credit to amuneke hence you had to attack him here making you sort of bias because there is a prejudice.
There is something that makes him who he is that happens there, it takes grit, hardwork and others to be able to get to where he is today, I don't think amuneke taught him that.

Pls where is that confused failure guy tht said "if you are from.poor background you are bond to fail in life"

Where are you come and read Osimeh story.

Is Osimeh Dangote son or Adenuga son?

Go and hustle, discover yourself, explore your talent and gift and focus surely you will do great exploit.

Laziness and Lamentation is a dream killer.

God bless Osimeh and every legit hustlers out there.

Without Nigerian grassroot coaches who do the work sophiscated academies do in advanced countries, Nigeria football wouldn't have gone anywhere and many footballers wouldn't have realised their dreams. Once players are maturing and talent starts showing, foreign scouts steal them and they travel without knowledge of these coaches. Do you know what they often get in return: discarded Jerseys and boots and a handout like beggars. FIFA recognises them and they are entitled to a compensation but NFF has no structure to implement this.

Look, my submission is not about Amunike because he actually benefited from the hardwork of these grassroots coaches to boost his CV.

Osimhen is not known today because he grew up poor. He is not known because he lived in Olusosun. He is known because of his fine footballing skills and he was been interviewed based on that. Yes, growing up in Olusosun and his poor background may have toughened his mindset but those coaches helped develop his footballing talent. That's why I believe the effort of those coaches deserve a prominent mention in his interview.

My take is an opinion based on logic, emotional intelligence and personal experience and not on tribalism. I know Politicians have poisoned our minds but we must push back.

littleguy444:
I knew you are not talking from tribalism and all that, the biasness I was talking about was the desire you have for the recognition of the coach, that was why I was saying the question is about what shaped more as a person.
That was why I mentioned that apart from the coach so many people not known also contributed the fact that he did not mention anybody doesn't mean he is not grateful.
He is talking more about his personalities which is very important, so many players had better skills and opportunities but could not utilize it the way osimhen is doing.

I always learn from you chief.
