Super Eagles stars celebrate Victor Osimhen’s 26th birthday
Odion Ighalo and other Super Eagles stars have taken to social media to celebrate Victor Osimhen’s 26th birthday today, December 29, 2024.
The former CAF Player of the Year, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has been showered with heartfelt messages from both former and current teammates.
Heartfelt Messages from Teammates
Odion Ighalo led the birthday wishes with a message on his Instagram story, saying:
“Happy birthday blood. Wishing you many more blessings and favour.”
Legendary goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama also joined in, commenting:
“Happy birthday, star boy. Wishing you long life in good health and prosperity.”
Current Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface shared a simple but warm message:
“Happy birthday my broski.”
Midfielder John Ogu added a touching note:
“King, I wish everything great in life. I pray God keeps elevating you; stay winning.”
Celebrating in Style
Osimhen is expected to mark his birthday in Nigeria, where he has been enjoying a holiday. His stellar performances this season have made him a key player for Galatasaray, scoring 12 goals in just 15 matches across all competitions.
Taye Taiwo’s Birthday Challenge
Ahead of Osimhen’s birthday, former Super Eagles defender Taye Taiwo had an interesting message for him. While praising Osimhen’s brilliant form at Galatasaray, Taiwo urged the striker to return to one of Europe’s top five leagues.
Taiwo remarked:
“If Manchester United, Chelsea, or Arsenal approach him, he should seize the opportunity. The market is more favourable now than in the summer, and Napoli is willing to sell.”
Galatasaray’s Determination
Despite interest from top clubs, Galatasaray is determined to keep Osimhen, especially after losing Mauro Icardi to a long-term injury. As Osimhen celebrates this milestone, fans and teammates alike continue to admire his achievements and look forward to his future successes.
