Victor Osimhen affirms that “Even if I didn’t make it in football, I would still have been successful” (Video)
Speaking on Friday night during a livestream with Cater Efe, the Galatasaray striker expressed his belief that his hard work and determination as a child made him destined for success.
According to Victor Osimhen, even if his football career had not taken off, he still thinks he would have succeeded and been financially secure.
He stated ;
“The way I hustled hard back in the trenches, even if I didn’t make it in football, I would still have made money like crazy. I was very determined, hard working and passionate. I did a lot of menial jobs and never turned down any legit opportunity of making money,”
He continued by stating his breakthrough came in 2018 when he was loaned by Belgian team Charleroi from VfL Wolfsburg.
He also stated ;
“I was rejected twice in Belgium, two clubs. With just three days left in the transfer window, another club, Charleroi made everything happen. That was the turning point,”
Osimhen claimed he would prefer not to reply when asked by Carter Efe if he is wealthier than the Afrobeats quartet of Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid.
On the other hand, he commended the musicians for effectively representing the nation’s culture abroad.
“I have met Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Davido, on several occasions. They are giving our country positive image around the globe. It is a thing of pride to hear Nigerian songs in foreign clubs.
“Nigeria is so blessed with a lot of talented artists. A lot of Nigerians don’t know how valuable our artists are because they haven’t travelled overseas, but those of us who are there know that they are doing a good job for the country,” Osimhen says.
