Critic calls Super Eagles star’s luxury purchase a “financial mistake,” urges him to invest in jobs and support struggling citizens instead.

A man has stirred controversy online after publicly criticizing Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen over his reported ₦3 billion house purchase in Lekki, Lagos, describing it as a poor financial decision and a missed opportunity to impact lives.

In a passionate rant, the critic questioned Osimhen’s priorities, arguing that despite his global success and wealth, ordinary Nigerians have not felt his impact. He insisted that while enjoying one’s earnings is valid, wealthy public figures—especially in a country facing economic hardship—should do more to support struggling citizens.

The man went further, issuing a dramatic 24-hour ultimatum to the Napoli forward to “return the house” and redirect the funds into meaningful investments such as factories and job creation initiatives that could benefit the wider population.

He compared Osimhen to other celebrities, referencing musicians like Davido and Burna Boy, whom he claimed are making more visible contributions. According to him, investing in businesses and community development would leave a more lasting legacy than luxury real estate.

The remarks have since triggered mixed reactions, with some agreeing that wealthy individuals should give back more, while others argue that Osimhen has every right to spend his money as he chooses, without public pressure or scrutiny.
