Victor Osimhen – The New King of Africa

In a surprising turn of events, Victor Osimhen has been crowned as the undisputed “new king of Africa” after being named the Footballer of the Year for 2023 by the Confederation of African Football (Caf) awards. This prestigious accolade propels him into a league above his competitors.

Osimhen’s journey to success is one filled with determination and resilience. Growing up in Olusosun, Lagos, he faced numerous challenges that would have deterred many others. Greeting each day with the stench from a nearby waste dump, he had to resort to selling newspapers and bottles of water just to survive. Despite these obstacles, Osimhen never wavered in his pursuit of greatness.

“As a young boy who had to hawk in traffic almost every day in order to survive the numerous challenges my family and I were facing, becoming a treasure in Africa and world football was a wild dream,” expressed an elated Osimhen.
