 Victor Osimhen Gifts Young Fan N2.5m For Imitating His Style


Super Eagles star, Victor Osimhen, has gifted a young boy who dressed like him and showcased similar football skills with N2.5m


The boy, seen in a video wearing a mask resembling Osimhen’s, caught the attention of the footballer when popular Instagram blogger, Tunde Ednut, shared the clip on his page on Tuesday.


Reacting to the video, Osimhen requested Ednut’s assistance in locating the boy.


With Ednut’s help and that of content creator, Eriq Morak, the boy was located in Ivory Coast.


Giving an update, Ednut wrote, “I initially thought this little man was Nigerian. You won’t believe we found him in Ivory Coast.


“#eriqmorak found him. He lives in 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 then reached out and gifted the money to the boy, eliciting gratitude from his family, who shared a video thanking the footballer for his generosity.
