Nigerian actor IK Ogbonna has expressed his disappointment over the negative remarks directed at football star Victor Osimhen after his potential transfer to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal and English club Chelsea fell through.
In a heartfelt message, Ogbonna criticized some Nigerians for their harsh words, emphasizing that they should be offering support instead of criticism during such challenging times.
“It’s disheartening to see some voices from Nigeria coming at you with the wrong words when they should be lifting you up,” Ogbonna wrote, reflecting the sentiments of many fans who believe Osimhen deserves encouragement rather than condemnation.
The failed transfers have sparked widespread discussion, with many expressing both support and criticism of the striker’s situation. Ogbonna’s words highlight the importance of solidarity within the community during such pivotal moments in an athlete’s career.
