Former Super Eagles winger, Taiwo Oloyede, has lambasted Victor Osimhen for his recent outburst against former coach Finidi George, according to OwnGoalNigeria. In an exclusive interview, Oloyede did not hold back, criticizing Osimhen's behavior as rude and disrespectful.
Oloyede, a legendary figure in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL), stated that Osimhen's behavior was a reflection of his lack of good advisers, proper upbringing, and manners. He questioned Osimhen's achievements, asking if he had won the Champions League or the Nations Cup, and emphasized that being the highest goal scorer in the qualifiers was not an achievement if it was not repeated in the tournament proper.
The former Super Eagles player also attributed Osimhen's behavior to a lack of loyalty to Finidi George, which he believed was caused by the pressure on the coach. He urged Osimhen to apologize for his actions, stating that his behavior was not becoming of a national team player.
Oloyede's comments are a strong rebuke of Osimhen's behavior and highlight the need for players to show respect and discipline, both on and off the field. His views are likely to resonate with many in the Nigerian football community who value these qualities.
