I am going to go play in Saudi Arabia where I’ll be making $33-million(N52-billion) per year” —- Victor Osimhen

Victor Osimhen stated,

“I am going to go play in Saudi Arabia where I’ll be making $33-million(N52-billion) per year because Trophies won’t put food on my table or neither will the people advising me to play in Europe feed me if I finish my career and go brõke.”

“I was born to very pôor parents in Lagos. I grew up in a place called Olusosun, an area in Lagos state. “

“And where I grew up life was so hard that if you were able to eat breakfast, you might not even eat lunch nor dinner. We were never able to have 3 square meals per day. “

“And things got even wôrst when I lôst my Mum, I was about 9-years old then. And 3 months later after my Mum dîed, my father lôst his job which was our only means of livelihood. “

“Then things became very hard for me and my siblings and then we started selling water in the streets of Lagos to make a living. “

“Then I realized that selling water wasn’t helping because we were just living From-Hand-To-Mouth. It was even tougher because back in Africa, nothing is promised. “

“No one will ever sit you down where I come from and tell that you should believe in yourself and they believe in you but you have to be your own counsellor. “

“My family never really supported me when I started football because they thought football was a hobby and not a job. When I started football, I gave it my all because I knew that football was the only hope for my family. “

“I play so hard because football is what changed my family’s story and gave us the good life we’re living now. I am playing football for money and not trophies because my family needs money and trophies won’t bring them money. “

“So I’m gonna go to Saudi Arabia and earn $33-million(N52-billion) because my family needs it.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
