Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen returned to his roots this Christmas, spreading holiday cheer in his hometown of Olusosun, Lagos. The Galatasaray forward, known for his humility and deep connection to his origins, spent the day interacting with residents and reliving memories of the community that shaped his journey.
Videos shared by journalist Buchi Laba captured the 25-year-old warmly engaging with locals, sharing laughs, and enjoying the festive spirit. The footage highlights Osimhen’s genuine affection for the people of Olusosun, who have supported him from his early days to his rise as one of Africa’s brightest football stars.
“The love is massive. A man that respects his roots,” Laba noted in his post, showcasing the striker’s interactions with his old neighborhood.
This visit is not the first time Osimhen has demonstrated his dedication to his community. In June 2024, after being named the Best Player in Africa, he celebrated the prestigious award in Olusosun, sharing the milestone with those who witnessed his humble beginnings.
Osimhen’s consistent efforts to reconnect with his roots have endeared him to fans both at home and abroad, cementing his status not just as a football icon but as a symbol of gratitude and community spirit.
