Victor Osimhen, a Super Eagles player, has given a boy child who dressed like him and shown similar football talents with N2.5m
The child, seen in a video wearing a mask similar to Osimhen’s, piqued the footballer’s interest after renowned Instagram blogger Tunde Ednut published the film on his profile on Tuesday.
In response to the video, Osimhen requested Ednut’s assistance in locating the boy.
The boy was located in Ivory Coast thanks to Ednut and content developer Eriq Morak.
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.
