Former Super Eagles forward and Supersport pundit Victor Ikpeba has expressed shock over Victor Osimhen’s reaction to his criticism after the feisty encounter of the Qatar 2022 play-offs between Nigeria and Ghana.
Ikpeba had criticized Osimhen for using bicycle kicks instead of stopping the ball and aiming at the goalpost at a time the Super Eagles was in a dire need of a goal.
Osihmen fires back” No be that pundit go tell me wetin i go do”
”Adi e funfun ko mo ara e lagba”
Osimhen hinted that Ikpeba is not playing his role as an elderly person.
Speaking on Top sports in Lagos, Ikpeba advised Osimhen to apply humility to his talent for him to grow better in the game.
Ikpeba added that no Nigerian player has won the African best player award 23 years after Kanu Nwankwo last won it for Nigeria, adding that Osimhen has the capacity to do so again, saying humility also pays a major part in that.
He said ” Osimhen didn’t take the criticism in good faith and that’s not good for an emerging talent, he needs to be humble.
” If anyone has the potential to win the African footballer of the year it is Osimhen, but he should watch his attitude.
”At 23 i also know what i have already achieved as a footballer”
However, Victor Ikpeba hinted that he was on his way to Abuja for house allocation.
Recall that President Buhari on Thursday approved house allocation for 22 members of the 1994 AFCON winning squad and the players have converged on Abuja to do clearance and collect keys to their houses.
