The question everyone should be asking is: DOES OSIMHEN BEHAVE THIS WAY WHEN HE IS PLAYING FOR HIS TEAM IN TURKEY?
If the answer is no, then it simply means he is being selective with the way he handles himself on the field; this is unacceptable simply because he clearly knows what his is doing...His behavior is intentional and disrespectful.

He needs to work on himself or he should be checked by his national team's coach. It is totally unacceptable for a player to behave in a certain way when he's representing his country vs when he's playing for his team.

this is a nasty article. so if he was a ghetto boy or ex pure water seller, if he has something to say he should keep quiet?

This article for a writer is disappointing. Leading the public to accept your twisted and implied notion about the event. What happened on the field is simply sportmanship.

I couldn’t even complete your story. It’s as bad as that

See as them leave the major problem and going after smaller things. See as dey are downgrading innocent boy. Which one is ghetto Hero? See envy, bunch of hypocrisies.

Na person wey never play football before go say Osimhen was out of line for cautioning Lookman, a man will behave aggressively especially when high testosterone while playing a match. What I don't agree with was him allowing his anger to fester to the extent of becoming no longer interested in the game and asking to be substituted...iwo o gbodo je ki orun wo ba ibinu re.
Many of those saying nonsenses are just footballs enthusiast.many of them never played street ball.

If you act inappropriately, people will use their left hand to indicate your father's residence. Osimhen's conduct in public during a globally televised event is utterly uncivilized and intolerable. This is the reason his background is under scrutiny. Anyone hailing from a cultured environment and a respectable upbringing would have managed the situation in a different manner.
Going after this writer is a sign of weakness and lacks logic; let's consider alternative perspectives for once. Osimhen has brought this upon himself, and he has no one to blame but himself.

This is not accurate; I firmly believe the coach is to blame. The coach should have established a solid set of rules and regulations that should be followed at all time by the players. It is obvious that this was not done at all or done properly.
Osimhen's actions suggest that the team lacks both structure and respect for the coach. Based on my experience in organized sports, it is essential for all team members to adhere to the established rules. One of these rules emphasizes the importance of respecting the team, each other, and the coach.
Osimhen has violated this specific rule; when you publicly criticize or attack a teammate, it clearly indicates a lack of respect for the team, your fellow players, and the coach. This is completely unacceptable... In a well-organized country, a player like this would be sent home immediately. So let's think outside the box for once and be honest. Osimhen is entirely in the wrong.
Moreover, I can guarantee that he will never exhibit such disrespectful behavior when he is with his team in Turkey.

That you don't see anything wrong with what went down tells a serious story about your person and mindset.
You are no room model, figuratively and factually and so nobody expects any better from you,thankfully.
weak effeminate men like you can't understand.

Is this kind of sensational write-up filled with vile and bitterness what Nigeria needs ahead of a crucial game tomorrow….

I’m no fan of super eagles but the NFF has bastardized and damaged Nigerian football that Osimhen and few others are the shining light in what’s left of Nigerian football.

When Nigeria failed to qualify for the World Cup, how many times was Lookman’s name mentioned compared to Osimhen angry

Journalists like this Odesola guy deserves to be beaten blue-black

It's perfectly fine to have disagreements; it's not a major issue. However, it becomes a significant problem when you confront your teammate during a game broadcasted worldwide. Even the opposing team member had to step in to calm you down; this reflects poorly on you. The only way to justify this behavior is if you are also a pure water hawker... Nothing else makes sense.

This is pathetic coming from you. Your obsession over money and wealth blinker your eyes such that you're never ever going to see the big picture. It's a poverty mindset. Osimhen may have wealth today, but he isn't freeing himself from that poverty mindset any time soon. He looks like the type who somewhere down the road after his career is over will be begging the public for financial help. We have seen that movie before.

This is Gutter reportage.

How this made it into a daily national newspaper is quite baffling.
It's not gutter. ATTITUDE made Vini jr. lose the Ballon d'or. His ego is still affecting real madrid till today. Yorubas naturally are always conscious about attitude anywhere we find ourselves knowing very well that ability can take you to certain heights but attitude will give you an edge over people you have same abilities with. Lionel Messi's attitude is what has given him an edge in the game of football, you can see how they adore him FROM ONE NATION TO ANOTHER ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING.

The guy that wrote that you should know Nigerians with.sentiments, hit the nail on the head. Simply because Osimen had a spat with Lookman, this.now attract insult on Osimen from.obvioily a tribal bigot, and regrettable allowed on a so-called national newspaper. I do not why some tribes in.Nigeria, will.never disappoint. One is ever sure of of this particular people baring tribal fangs on very simple and mundane issues. Who among us did not rise from a humble background? Nigeria failed many of us but have to fight tooth and nail and like, the phoenix, rise out.of the murky waters of of.our decadent social and economic deprevations. If Nigeria were good, who will live in a slum or who will hawk poor water for a living? Should that be a source of insult? Character traits are basically human. A poor or rich person can arrogant, wicked, selfish etc. These are character traits that do not have door steps.It is only advisable they are worked on.As long as we continue to dwell on tribalism and religious bigotry in relating to one another, Nigeria will remain docile for a very very long time.

abeg all of you should shattap - it seems like ona never play football before - (banter on and off the pitch can happen in sports) - no biggie - watch superbowl - u will see that alot amongst team mates and opponents --- Shaquille O'Neal and Late Kobe Bryant had it at LA Lakers --- Also in the 1980's Late Steve Keshi once pushed Sunday Eboigbe in anger that he didnt mark Roger Milla well at Morrocco' 1988 AFCON during the group matches in 1988 - We all saw it on live Tv BUT there was no social media then so it did not trend -Even Sunday Oliseh and Duke Udi almost had a brawl in their last warm up game against Togo where the Dream Team lost 1-3 in Lagos before Atlanta 1996 Olympics (where we won the gold medal) - its JUST FOOTBALL - nothing more - abeg make ona rest --- Big Boys fight no dey last -- na poor people dey carry malice go grave - both of them will still hang out and enjoy life while u borrow to sub data to yan opata on nairaland
Getat. Taaaa. When people who know football and those players physically dey talk, you dey shoook your agoyin beans mouth.

Which of those masters of those days does your Osimhen match in talent, personality and character? Who says that there are no moments of dispute among players. How many of them repeatedly did the same thing against country and team, like Osimhen does? Etim Esin, who was a far better player, where did his foolishness land him?

Na so una go dey white call am black. Na im make hunger dey finish una dey go.

Should stop all these NONESENSE undecided undecided undecided

So if me and my guy get small confrontation for field that means I'm EVIL??

Guys that will quarrel and reunite within 10 mins. That is how guys are.

Did Oshimen beat or slap anybody?
Just normal guy to guy confrontation

I remember fighting with my flatmate and that same evening we go out to drink and chill.

Football is testosterone and adrenaline so clashes are inevitable.
As Men. We understand this fully

It is the sissy and gossiping men that are still talking about this Oshimen matter.

Real men understand what went down
And it's just normal guy to guy antics.

Sissy boys and effeminate men will spin this story out of proportion just to trend.

Osimhen is doing all his own destruction by himself,he doesn't need anybody to do that.

He should go and ask Balloteli how far it ended for him.

A world class striker at his prime and the best he could do is the Turkish League and him never want ask himself questions.
comparing Balotelli and osimhen is so dumb
