‘His (Osimhen) success is our success. There are some of you who are here, who will still go outside and say that Victor doesn’t do anything for you.
'Do you know how many people are dependent on him? As you begin to get more money in life, more problems come with it.

‘You need to understand with him, when he has it, he will give. When he tells you he doesn’t have, there are other things he’s taking care of.
‘We should try to understand. Football is not forever. We also try to see how we will manage our lives. We don’t have pensions. If it(money) finishes, it finishes.
‘Now, we are a little bit wiser than so many of our older ones as we are now trying to do one or two things.
‘But the only thing I beg of you is to protect him (Osimhen). Because as you protect him (Osimhen), that’s how you stay in his heart.
'The little moment he has in Nigeria, allow him to enjoy it. Because when he goes back, the hustle continues..’
