'Introduction to greatness' — Nigerians react as Victor Osimhen's Super Eagles initiation video surfaces

A hilarious video of Victor Osimhen's Super Eagles initiation has garnered interesting reactions from fans on social media.

The video shared by former Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi showed the moment young Osimhen was made to stand on a sofa and introduce himself to his new senior teammates. As a custom, the 18-year-old was then made to dance in front of the team.



Many fans have taken to social media to share their reactions after the video emerged on X.

An X user @OfficialOlats wrote, "Introduction of greatness 🫡🤭"

"Humble beginnings" @Beejaysport tweeted.

@Gcity_Media said, "And now he's a center piece."

@Oluwakayode231 added, "The real senior man."

Osimhen made his official senior debut for Nigeria in a 2-0 loss to South Africa on June 10, 2017.

He missed out on Nigeria's 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign in Russia due to his inconsistent performance at Wolfsburg.

Osimhen was recalled to the Super Eagles by Gernot Rohr in November 2018 after a successful start to his loan spell at Charleroi.

The former Lille striker has gone on to win 37 caps for Nigeria, scoring 22 goals.
