Wednesday, May 14, 2025 - A viral video has surfaced online showing two men who claim to be relatives of Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, calling him out for allegedly abandoning his hometown and family since rising to fame.
In the video, filmed in what is described as Osimhen’s
family house in his local government area in Edo State, the men—identified as
Omuyiwa John and Monday Egbe—alleged that Osimhen has not returned to his roots
or offered any support to the people he grew up with.
According to them, they share the same grandfather with the
footballer and even supported his late father, Patrick Osimhen, during hard
times. They narrated how the family allegedly rallied together to assist
Osimhen’s father when he came back from Lagos, claiming he had no money. They
claimed they contributed funds to help bury Osimhen’s mother at the time.
One of the men said:
“We all grew
up here. We went to the same primary school. When the father came from Lagos,
he said he had no money. The whole family gathered money to support him. But
since Osimhen blew, he hasn’t come back—not even when his father died. They
buried him in Lagos.”
They expressed their disappointment that Osimhen allegedly
cut ties with the family, even after becoming a successful footballer known
worldwide. One man claimed the community was filled with joy when Osimhen rose
to stardom and remembered how the Edo State governor once brought a TV to the
palace so villagers could watch his game.
They ended by questioning why he hasn't returned home or
shown appreciation, despite the help they claim the family gave his parents in
their time of need.
