Victor Osimhen, a football player from Nigeria, has created history.
After scoring three goals against Sassuolo, he has now matched the scoring record set by the late, great Argentina captain Diego Maradona at Napoli.
On Wednesday, February 28, Osimhen scored his second hat-trick in Serie A as Napoli defeated Sassuolo 6-1 on the road.
For the Italian league winners, the Super Eagles striker has now scored in his previous three games.
Additionally, he has increased his league campaign total to 11 goals in 15 games.
His 10 league goals came after his second goal against Sassuolo, which gave Napoli a 3-1 lead.
Osimhen is currently the third player in Napoli’s history to score ten goals or more in four different seasons.
Maradona accomplished that between 1984 and 1988, and Attila Sallustro did the same for the Partenopei between 1929/30 and 1932/33, if one goes all the way back to 1929.

Following matchday 26, two Super Eagles players—Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi—were named to the Premier League squad of the week.
Recall that after assisting the Super Eagles of Nigeria in making it to the tournament’s final, Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey named 2023 AFCON stars.
At Old Trafford, Fulham shocked Manchester United with a 2-1 victory.
In the Premier League match, Harry Maguire scored the equalizer after Bassey had opened the scoring. Iwobi scored the game’s winning goal in the final minute, giving Fulham a 2-1 victory.
They were named in Whoscored.com’s Premier League Team of the Week together with Phil Foden of Manchester City, Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno, and Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka as a result of their performance.
Calvin Bassey was also included in BBC football analyst Garth Crooks’ squad of the week following the Nigerian international’s superb performance against Manchester United.
Among Crooks were one player each from West Ham United, Crystal Palace, and Fulham. Each of Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Aston Villa sent two players to the team.
The commentator stated, “This was an impressive team performance by the Cottagers with Bassey and Tosin Adarabioyo back in the starting line-up and could have played this match in stocking feet,” as an explanation of why he included Bassey in his team of the week.
“The goal by Nigerian international Bassey was a fitting cap to an outstanding individual display.”
Doyin, a former housemate on Big Brother Naija, talked about her first-ever market visit in years.
She revealed that she had been disconnected from reality and that she finally realized this after visiting Lagos’ well-known Ogba market.
Seeing how much hardship there is in Nigeria, she thanked God for her privileges.
According to her
I realized today for the first time how detached from reality I am…..people are suffering!!!!
If you can afford food, accommodation and your basic needs you don’t even know what God has done for you.
Today has to be the day I’ve felt the most grateful to God for the life I have.
Yes I visited ogba market and a place called Sunday market. All I could say last night was just thank you Jesus. Sometimes it’s good to visit places outside your comfort zone.
I’ve never gone to the food market to buy even something as small as pepper in my entire adult life. I must have followed my mum once or twice as a child but I don’t even remember the experience
Yesterday was really eye opening for me.
It’s funny how I don’t even know how much they sell pepper or tomatoes or chicken or Turkey or anything at all. There is a whole world outside what I know or what I’m used to.
I realized I’ve been a brat for the most part of my life. I get frustrated when I don’t get my way over frivolous things when there are people that can’t even feed.
If you really want to know how privileged you are, visit the less privileged and you learn to be more grateful.”

After sharing an Instagram photo together, Nigerian artists Ruger and BNXN shocked their followers.
The Afrobeats artists seem to have patched things up as they make a suggestion about possible future projects together.
Recent events indicate that Ruger—who abruptly departed from his record company, Jonzing World—shared a picture of BNXN and himself purportedly taken during the production of a song video.
Ruger captioned the image, writing, “MAYBE ROMEO MUST DIE.”
Since then, happy followers have responded to the tweet, expressing their amazement that the couple has made up after nearly two years of animosity.

The controversial self-described relationship guru Blessing Okoro, often known as Blessing CEO, has discussed her unhappy marriage.
She said that rather than adultery, the reason she left her marriage was domestic abuse.
She claims that infidelity is insufficient justification for a divorce.
In the first episode of her television program, Moments With Blessing CEO, she made a statement.
“My husband is not a cheater; I left my marriage because of domestic abuse,” the woman stated. Women occasionally have to acknowledge that we are the issue.
“Cheating shouldn’t make you leave your marriage; keep it a secret if your husband is cheating, just like you would with a DNA test,” the CEO of Blessing continued.
Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, is a Yoruba nation activist who has declared that he is returning to Yorubaland to pursue killer herdsmen.
In a video that went viral on Tuesday, he made these remarks to a group of supporters after his mother’s funeral in his hometown of the Igboho area of Oyo State.
The Yoruba-speaking activist claimed that neither the federal government nor the army stationed in Yorubaland—particularly in Ekiti, where kings were assassinated in broad daylight—could bring an end to the alleged murderers.
“I want you all to stand with me so that we can free ourselves from the encroaching herders on our lands,” he declared. If we don’t establish security throughout the Yoruba territories, they will seize our territory.
“We don’t need to hold out for the authorities or anybody else. Just let’s get to work together. These herders are the reason we are unable to farm on our grounds. And our people are outraged and going hungry. The soldiers that the government says it has sent to Ekiti State are not necessary. We operate in line with our Elders and mount places.
“My fear used to be my mother, but now that she’s gone, I don’t have anything to fear.” I’m returning now to reclaim our territory.
The activist from Ibadan questioned whether he could be working for politicians and whether they would still want him dead, while criticizing the rumour that he was employed by them.
“I work for no political party. If I happened to smack someone, the authorities would be more than happy to take me into custody. I’m prepared to act to put an end to these marauders’ operations on our territory, but I know they are attentively observing me right now to see what I will do next,” he insisted.
Adeyemo managed to flee from a deadly Department of State Service nighttime raid on his Ibadan home, according to a 2021 PUNCH article.
He and his spouse, Ropo, were subsequently taken into custody in the Benin Republic on July 19, while traveling to Germany. That being said, in October 2023, he was liberated.
The liberation soldier just got back to Nigeria in time for his mother’s funeral.
Igboho said there was an attempt on his life when his Ibadan home was raided.
