Victor Osimhen
Nigerian footballer and now Africa's most expensive player, Victor Osimhen has opened up on his experience with voodoo.
Africa’s most expensive footballer, Victor Osimhen has shared an
experience how a herbalist tempted him to get fortified in order to
attain rapid feat.
Osimhen, who recently emerged African most expensive player
following his €70m mega transfer from French side, Lille to Italian
giant, Napoli, stated this while addressing young footballers in his
neighborhood in Lagos.
The 21-year-old in a 30 seconds video uploaded on the Super Eagles
official Instagram status advised lads to distance themselves from
fetish action in their quest to stardom.
In his words: “A woman in my area was sent to lure me into
fetish thing. I rejected and distance myself. To God be the glory, the
woman is still there. (Back to sender) she is still where she is,” he said.
“As for money, if you are involved in legit way, it will come. I
swear it will come. You don’t need to fortify or go for fetish things.
You don’t need to visit “Babalawo” (herbalist) to get your boot
fortified in order to be skilful. My brother, if you are good, you are
good.
“You don’t need to rob anything on your boot. Better still use the Bible. Not “Juju” (voodoo).” he preached.
Osimhen will be aiming to justify his price in next season’s
Italian Serie A league. The Naples No.9 jersey believes with God, he is
capable of robbing shoulders with world-famous Ronaldo, Zlatan
Ibrahimovic, Ciro Immobile, and host of others in the race for next
season Italian league highest goal scorer award.
Before his transfer, he was voted African best player in the French league.
He netted 18 goals for Lille in competition and was ranked 4th on
league goal scorer chat before the French season ended prematurely owing
to the Covid-19 pandemic.
