BREAKING: Moment Victor Osimhen Speaks Yoruba Language While Sending Appreciation Message To Fans During #AFCON2023 – [VIDEO]—-Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen showcases his Yoruba-speaking skills as he delivers an appreciation message in the Yoruba dialect. Osimhen, who scored for Nigeria in their AFCON opener last week, securing a 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea, demonstrates his Lagos upbringing in the short video we are about to play.
The Super Eagles striker has had two goal involvements in the two matches he has played for Nigeria at AFCON, resulting in the two goals the Super Eagles have scored.
He scored in the 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea and won the penalty that won the game for Nigeria against the Elephants of Ivory Coast.
The Super Eagles star is heard expressing gratitude to his fans for their support and offering prayers in the Yoruba language.
Osimhen naturally attracts most attention within the Nigerian squad after his impressive performances with Napoli, where he scored 26 goals last season, leading them to their first Scudetto since 1990.
In the interview Osimhen had after the Super Eagles beat Ivory Coast 1-0, the African Footballer of the Year took a sly dig at the Super Eagles fans, but the young fan may have realised the folly in the act and tried to make up for it.
The Edo-born striker was born and bred in Lagos, and might be lost on many fans that the forward could be multilingual.
Osimhen showed the softer side of his mien when he thanked his numerous fans. Speaking in Yoruba, he appreciated them.
The message was short and direct, and here is the translation.
“My fans, thank you so much. You will not be put to shame. I appreciate your support for me a lot. God will continue to watch over you. Your endeavours will not meet with failure. Thank you.”
