Victor Osimhen, a key figure for Nigeria’s national team, has been shortlisted for the 2025 CAF African Player of the Year Award.
His nomination follows a stellar season with Napoli and the Super Eagles, where he consistently demonstrated his goal-scoring ability and resilience, even overcoming injury setbacks.
Osimhen played a vital role in Nigeria’s World Cup qualification journey and maintained impressive form in European competitions.
He faces stiff competition from other African football luminaries, including Mohamed Salah, Achraf Hakimi, and Vincent Aboubakar, all contenders for this esteemed title.
This nomination further cements Osimhen’s status as one of Africa’s premier football talents, building on his previous triumph as the 2023 CAF Player of the Year.
The announcement of the winner will take place at the upcoming CAF Awards Ceremony later this year.
In a separate update, content creator Peter Ugochukwu Okafor, widely known as Ugo Eaglet, has expressed that returning to Nigeria from Europe was the most beneficial choice he has made.
Sharing his experience on Instagram, he highlighted the overwhelming cost of living abroad, stating, “The expenses became unbearable. I’m not advising against traveling-you need to travel to gain perspective. But once you succeed abroad, it’s wise to return home. Instead of draining resources on foreign bills, invest in Nigeria.”
While residing in Austria, Eaglet revealed he was paying €1,700 monthly for rent, €240 for electricity, and €400 for health insurance. He also noted that many men over 50 living overseas secretly wish to return home but often face opposition from their spouses.
He praised his wife’s unwavering support, writing, “Wherever you go, I will follow. Honey, what are we still doing here? I’m even bored here; let’s go back to our country.”
He added, “I’m grateful to God for blessing me with a loving, understanding wife. Jenny Slimzy is the best thing that ever happened to me.”
Since relocating back to Nigeria, Eaglet described his life as more serene, saying, “Returning home was the best decision I made this year. Now I sleep peacefully, free from unnecessary expenses.”
