Napoli FC’s prolific striker, Victor Osimhen, made a heartfelt visit to his alma mater, Olusosun Primary School in Oregun, Ikeja, proudly bringing along his African Player of the Year award. The Super Eagles star recently clinched the CAF 2023 Men’s Player of the Year accolade, becoming the first Nigerian to win the prestigious honor since Nwankwo Kanu in 1999.
Osimhen’s triumphant return to his old school was highlighted by renowned photojournalist Sulaiman Adebayo, known as Pooja, who shared the moment on X.com. The caption accompanying the post read, “Victor Osimhen takes his CAF Award to Olusosun Primary School, Ojota, where it all started with street coaches and friends.”
During his visit, Osimhen relived his childhood memories, revisiting his former classroom and reconnecting with his old teacher. He also took the time to interact with current students, capturing photos and inspiring them with his journey from the streets of Ojota to becoming Africa’s best footballer.
This isn’t the first time Osimhen has paid homage to his roots. In June 2023, he similarly visited Olusosun Primary School, underscoring his deep connection to his early beginnings and the community that nurtured his talents.
As Osimhen’s future remains a hot topic in the football world, with top European clubs vying for his signature, his recent visit serves as a testament to his gratitude and commitment to giving back to the place that played a crucial role in his rise to stardom.
