Charles Chibuike, the look-alike of Napoli Victor Osimhen has generated funny reactions when a video of him engaged in warm-up exercises emerged on social media.
Chibuike, who is a forward for Doma United gained public recognition for his striking resemblance of the Super Eagles forward.
In the video shared on the popular sports page FajSports, Chibuike could be seen in a fitness routine.
The video was captioned: "Victor Osimhen on realizing that AFCON is just about 30 days away."
Several Nigerians have reacted to the video.
Chibuike first attracted attention with his Osimhen resemblance at the start of the 2022/23 NPFL season, when he scored on his league debut for Doma United and also vowed to keep scoring like the Napoli man.
In an interview with The Punch, Chibuike that people still mistake him for Osimhen, due to his striking resemblance with the fellow forward, but he however still feels bad the Napoli talisman doesn’t know him.
“Everyone thinks I’m Osimhen. Countless times every day when I step out, people call me Osimhen. For instance, we checked into a hotel for our FA Cup game in Abuja, a guy saw me and started screaming. He didn’t leave me until he took pictures with me,” Chibuike told The Punch.
“Somehow, it’s refreshing but on the other hand I feel bad because I don’t even think Osimhen knows me.”
