Recognized for his commitment to the Nigerian national team, the Napoli striker refuted Finidi’s purported “claims” with force, stating that he would not beg Osimhen to play for the Super Eagles.
Osimhen, who was clearly incensed, attacked Finidi in a breathtaking 10-minute outburst, declaring that he no longer had any regard for the Super Eagles legend.
Victor Osimhen said he has lost his respect for Finidi
“I will post the pictures also and the screenshots I had when I spoke to Finidi George (after he was appointed) because you all believe that someone keeping quiet because he is a footballer, ogun kill anybody, any of you that believe (I didn’t want to play for Nigeria).
“You can talk nonsense. I have lost respect I have for that man (Finidi), I have lost it all. I swear to God I have lost it now because why? I called him, told him to allow me come to the camp to be with the boys, I have all these recorded, to come talk to the boys,” Osimhen ranted , in the video posted online.

Upon seeing the viral footage on social media, a lot of Nigerian fans expressed their displeasure with Osimhen’s behavior.
One fan said, ”Let him get out, who’s he? As a professional footballer you don’t relaase a life video swearing and saying nonsense. No player is bigger than the team,”
Another said, ”You are talking as if you have made huge impact in the last AFCON that took place, people really overestimate their importance.”
A third said, ”Go and sit down my friend! When you were playing, what did you guys achieve?”
