Osimhen is the full package: goals, talent, charisma—and a healthy dose of controversy. While his football skills keep us glued to the screen, his off-pitch escapades make sure he’s always trending. Love him or loathe him, one thing’s for sure: Naija’s Super Eagle is never boring. The following are some of the off-the-pitch action of the Super Eagle
Instagram Wahala: Osimhen vs. Finidi George
Picture this: Osimhen goes on IG Live, fire in his eyes, addressing rumors that he faked an injury to dodge World Cup qualifiers against Benin Republic and South Africa. But instead of just clearing the air, he dropped serious shade at none other than Finidi George, one of Nigeria’s most respected football icons. He accused Finidi who was then the Eagles coach of questioning his commitment to the national team, leading to a public spat that drew significant attention. Fans couldn’t believe their ears—Osimhen taking on a legend? That’s like dragging your favorite uncle at a family meeting! Respect or not, this one had tongues wagging.
Ikpeba Verbal Volley: The Battle of the Victors
Victor vs. Victor? You can’t make this stuff up! Osimhen’s fiery temperament isn’t new. Previously, he had a public spat with another Nigerian football legend, Victor Ikpeba. The disagreement stemmed from Ikpeba’s critique of Osimhen’s on-field decisions, notably a missed bicycle kick during a crucial 2022 World Cup qualifying match against the Black Stars of Ghana. Ikpeba’s critique? Not everything that looks good works out, bro. But Osimhen wasn’t having it! The young striker clapped back hard, and before we knew it, the media had turned this into a full-on battle royale of egos.
Osimhen vs. Napoli: TikTok Wahala and Transfer Palaver
Napoli’s social media crew thought it was vibes to post videos mocking Osimhen after a missed penalty. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they even called him a “coconut.” Now, in Naija, “coconut” no be just ordinary word—it’s fight starter. Osimhen no gree! Baba cleaned out Napoli photos from his Instagram like someone erasing bad memories. Message delivered: things don spoil.
Next, it was time for lawyers to enter the matter. Osimhen’s agent wasn’t smiling o. He hinted at legal action against Napoli, making it clear that the TikTok nonsense was an insult of the highest order. This wasn’t just playful banter—it was gbas-gbos on a different level.
As if the TikTok saga wasn’t enough, there was transfer wahala. Word on the street was that Saudi club Al-Ahli offered Napoli a fat €80m for Osimhen, but Napoli’s oga-at-the-top insisted on an extra €5m. Deal scatter. Osimhen no happy, and you can’t blame him—who wouldn’t be salty about missing out on that Saudi bag?
Finally, after all the gbas-gbos, Osimhen made a move to **Galatasaray on loan**. Turkey, here we go! But fans dey wonder: is this just a break from Napoli or the end of the love story?
One thing is clear—Victor Osimhen knows how to keep the headlines buzzing, whether it’s with goals or drama. Wherever he goes, Naija dey back am, hoping he continues to shine and serve us the premium football we love!
Turkish Trouble: The Journalist Saga

Here’s how it allegedly went down: Osimhen was leaving a nightclub in Istanbul, vibing with friends, when journalist Tolga Bozduman and his squad started snapping pics. Baba wasn’t having it! Bozduman claims Osimhen saw red, confronted him, and tried to snatch his camera. Things got spicier with accusations of an *alleged punch*! (Omo, abeg!)
Bozduman even says Osimhen offered cash to delete the photos and dropped some “I will destroy you” kind of threats when he refused. Double wahala!
So far, both Osimhen and Galatasaray are keeping mum on the issue, leaving fans wondering if this is just another twist in the ever-dramatic Osimhen chronicles. Stay tuned, fam, because this tori is still unfolding!
