Napoli’s recent signing, Victor Osimhen has advised Nigerian footballers to rather focus on training and getting better at playing, than believing that some esoteric practices will help them become better on the field.
The 21-year old who is currently the most expensive African player, after completing a €70m transfer from Lille to Napoli said being fetish is not the way to stardom.
This was disclosed in a video by Osimhen shared to the official Super Eagles Instagram page, where he recounted his own experience and how he had almost been forced into the practice.
Victor Osimhen said, “A woman in my area was sent to lure me into fetish thing. I rejected and distance myself. To God be the glory, the woman is still there. She is still where she is.

“As for money, if you are involved in legit way, it will come. I swear it will come. You don’t need to fortify or go for fetish things. You don’t need to visit “Babalawo” to get your boot fortified in order to be skilful. My brother, if you are good, you are good.
“You don’t need to rob anything on your boot. Better still use the Bible. Not juju.”
