The Nation Newspaper VICTOR BONIFACE: I like making people laugh
From his signature celebration: swaggering, finger-pointing, and his offhand memes, gesture and comments on the social media, Nigeria and Leverkusen striker
“I like to say funny things and that is why I’m friend to many Nigerian comedians like Sabinus, Broda Shaggi, AY and others. I follow them and they also follow me. I’m an Edo boy maybe that is why I’m very much like Osimhen and we like to keep it simple and happy. The life of footballers is quite boring, you cannot just go out and do whatever you want, you cannot go to club like ordinary people, so when I’m home I just like to do things. I like to be myself and make others happy.
“Right now my full focus is on Leverkusen and being ready to try and achieve more good things with the club.” “Sometimes he tells me of players he played with, with similar abilities to me. He tries to improve me in my weakest areas.” After a successful stint with Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium, he moved to Leverkusen last July, receiving his first Super Eagles call-up earlier this season, which he called “a dream come true”.
He also raked in several Bundesliga Rookie of the Month awards, Bundesliga Player of the Month, and Bayer Leverkusen Player of the Month awards as his stock continued to rise.
