AFCON 2023: I’m Giving Everything to Come Home With the Trophy — Victor Osimhen

Super Eagles star striker, Victor Osimhen has vowed to help the country win the 2023 AFCON trophy.
According to him, he’s ready to give his all.
Osimhen has been one of the standout performers in the tournament and on Saturday helped the Eagles reach the quarter-finals.
His unrelenting pressing saw him outmuscle a Cameroonian defender before setting up Ademola Lookman for the opener even though the reigning African Player of the Year has only scored one goal in this year’s AFCON which was against Equatorial Guinea.
He has now opened up on his desire to win the tournament with the current squad.
“I want to win something with this great squad,”he said on Osasu Obayiuwana’s X handle.
“I want to give Nigeria something that they will remember. I’m giving everything to come home with the [AFCON] trophy.”
Osimhen also said the team is not yet playing at their peak.
“I cannot lie, we haven’t played the best of our football yet. I think the whole team has this mentality of winning, we want to win,” Osimhen told reporters.
 
“For me, we are more like a family than just players. So for me, it is important to have this mentality of winning.
 
“I want to give kudos to my defenders. They have been focused since the start of this competition. We also have a good goalkeeper [Nwabali]. We want to keep this momentum going.”
The Super Eagles will take on the Palancas Negras of Angola in a quarter-final fixture on Friday.

Angel Slams Married Women Against Friends Calling Their Husbands by Name

Reality star Angel Smith said she’s against married women who have an issue with friends calling their husbands by first names.
She took to her X page to make her point.
Angel deemed the practice absurd while some suggest addressing them as “Sir” or a respectful term.
She advocated for addressing spouses by the names they are known by and emphasised the need for people to prioritise more pressing matters, especially considering the current economic challenges in the country.
Angel Smith further expressed her preference for her friends to continue addressing her husband by the name he is known for before their marriage.
 
“As my friend, if you call my husband by his name wallahi I’ll first slap you and we’ll now fight (real fight o)and unfriend each other,” an X user wrote.
Angel responded: “Some of you women get married and become insane. “Mrs” now becomes your identity. What am I supposed to call my friend’s husband? Sir?? Or uncle? If I light you and him. Perhaps we will call him the conqueror, the champion, igwe 2 pac.”
In another post, she continued: “Will take into consideration the cultural differences between the genzs and millennials, boomers etc, cause I’m not calling my friend’s husband daddy anything except as a joke.”

Didier Drogba, the world-renowned Chelsea legend, celebrated with Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen after Nigeria secured a 2-0 victory over Cameroon in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) round of 16 on Saturday night.
