Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has taken to social media to celebrate Bayer Leverkusen’s historic Bundesliga title triumph, revealing a touching exchange with compatriot Victor Osimhen.

Leverkusen secured their first-ever Bundesliga championship on Sunday with a dominant 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen, with Boniface playing a starring role.

The 23-year-old striker opened the scoring and provided an assist, taking his tally to 11 goals and eight assists in just 18 league appearances this season.

“Last year after Napoli won the league Victor Osimhen called me, baba say next year (2024) na your turn, say more celebration dey front. Respect baba,” Boniface wrote.

Osimhen, the reigning African Footballer of the Year, played a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A title triumph last season, scoring 26 goals to finish as the league’s top scorer.

It appears the 25-year-old had predicted Boniface’s success with Leverkusen, showcasing the strong bond between the two Nigerian stars.

As Leverkusen celebrate their first-ever Bundesliga crown, Boniface’s heartfelt tribute to Osimhen adds an emotional layer to the club’s success.

The two Nigerians’ shared journey and mutual support exemplify the closeness and unity within the country’s football community.

With Boniface’s star continuing to rise and Osimhen’s status as one of the world’s elite strikers, Nigerian football fans can look forward to more success stories from their talented compatriots in the years to come.
