Football fans have taken to social media to celebrate Super Eagles star, Victor Osimhen, on his 25th birthday on Friday, Saturday PUNCH reports.
Osimhen was born on December 29, 1998 in Lagos and he travelled to his birth state to celebrate his birthday with fans at Olusosun in Ketu area of the State.
The Napoli forward has enjoyed a glorious outing in December. The month started on a historic note for him when he was named the Italian Footballer’s Association Player of The Year on December 4 and he then bagged the African Player of The Year award on December 11.
He also scored his first Champions League goal of the season on December 12 against Braga. He also signed a new two-year contract extension at Napoli worth €10m per season after tax in the month.
The celebrant took to Instagram to give glory to God on his special day writing, “God is the Greatest. Happy Birthday to me.”
Football fans have sent their wishes to the new African football king on social media.
Buchi Laba hailed him as the chosen one on X writing, “Happy 25th Birthday Victor Osimhen. The chosen one. Blessings on top Blessings.”
Omotayo of Lagos asked Osimhen to keep making Nigerians proud.
“Happy birthday Victor Osimhen aka Oba new generation, may God perfect all your shortcomings and grant you long life in good health and wealth, keep making Nigeria and Nigerians proud,” she stated.
Obi Uchendu wrote revealed that he has learnt a lot from Osimhen hailing him as the greatest of all time.
“Some people come into your life to teach you lessons. Victor is who God sent to teach me a lot about humility and being selfless. A world-class player dedicated four days of his time and life to host a stranger, Osimhen is my football GOAT. Happy Birthday Victor Osimhen,” he wrote.
He also had some well wishers on Facebook as Emeka Darlington wrote, “Happy Birthday Victor Osimhen, King Of Africa 1, may your days be long and prosperous in Jesus Name Amen.”
Alloy Chukwuemeka also praised the player on Facebook writing, “A special Happy birthday to Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen. Talented and committed player, Africa footballer of the year. Congratulations and best wishes.”
Osimhen is expected to lead the Super Eagles attack at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast next year as Nigeria aims to win a fourth AFCON trophy.
