- Victor Osimhen shared how a childhood friend complained after receiving €5,000 for a business, sparking discussions on entitlement and appreciation.
- Osimhen admitted that the reaction upset him to the point where he attempted to reverse the transaction, but it was already too late.
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has shared a personal experience involving a childhood friend, highlighting issues of entitlement and gratitude.
According to the football star, he had been financially supporting the friend before sending him €5,000 to help kickstart a business. However, the gesture reportedly did not go as expected.
“I used to support one of my childhood friends financially, but one day he told me about a business idea he wanted to start. I sent him €5,000, but instead of appreciating it, he complained,” Osimhen said.
He revealed that the friend compared the amount to his reported earnings and expected more.
“He said he had read that I earn about €1 million weekly and expected nothing less than €50,000,” he added.
Osimhen admitted that the reaction upset him to the point where he attempted to reverse the transaction, but it was already too late.
“I was so upset that I even tried to reverse the money, but it was too late. That €5,000 might be small in Europe, but in Nigeria, it’s a huge amount,” he said.
Reflecting on his journey, the striker noted that he built his success without financial assistance from others.
“I hustled day and night, even selling bottled water on the streets. People need to learn how to appreciate what they receive instead of feeling entitled,” he added.
