Super Eagles and Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen has fired back at former Super Eagles manager, Finidi George, and individuals for singling him out for criticism.
Finidi had drawn the first blood following his criticism of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), adding that Osimhen and some senior Super Eagles players lack commitment and are above the law.
Osimhen who missed the last two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic due to injury took to Instagram live on Saturday to clear his name while he also hit back at Finidi.

“Eni Kure. Ogun go kill anybody. I knew things like these would happen and that’s why I have the videos and screenshots of when I called Finidi while I was with the doctor in Germany.
“I got injured in our (Napoli’s) last game against Lecce and I went to the MRI scan. And I called Finidi there for him to listen to the doctor too.
“I asked Finidi George to allow me stay with the players in the camp, but Finidi asked me not to bother that I should stay with my family.
“I’m not addressing anything, everybody knows I play my heart out whenever I’m playing for the club or national team. I’ll share the screenshot and videos of my conversation with Finidi for the sake of those believing what Finidi said.
“I’ve lost respect for that man because before I disrespect anybody, I always respect them.
“Now after two bad games, everybody is now blaming me.
“I know how many injuries I’ve played with for Nigeria and I played my heart out but after two bad games, everybody is attacking me.”
