Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen was warmly received by children at a birthday party hosted by former NFF president Amaju Pinnick, with the young guests visibly excited to meet the football star.
In a video that surfaced online on Friday, the Super Eagles forward is seen surrounded by eager kids who rushed to greet him and take photos.
Osimhen, wearing a casual outfit and his signature smile, took time to pose with the celebrant and her father as they take pictures with the cake.
The event was held to celebrate the birthday of one of Pinnick’s daughters. Osimhen’s presence added excitement to the atmosphere, with both kids and adults expressing delight at meeting the footballer in person.
Pinnick, who led the Nigeria Football Federation from 2014 to 2022, is known to have a cordial relationship with Osimhen and has praised him on several occasions for his discipline and commitment to the national team.
Currently on break after the Serie A season, Osimhen remains a fan favourite and one of Nigeria’s most admired sports figures. His gesture at the party earned him further praise online, with many Nigerians applauding his humility and connection with the younger generation.
