Everybody just dey shout Osimhen no congratulate Lookman, he might even be the first to do so in his DM, who knows?

If you are following Osimhen on IG, he liked EVERY post I've seen about Lookman on IG since yesterday till today, Osimhen was damn happy and ive when he was asked three months ago if Lookman will win the award, in his own words, "if Lookman wins the award, it's like a second win for me"...

When Lookman won the Europa League, Osimhen didn't post it too, but they're cool with each other because he's doing it bro to bro, calls or messages... No be everybody dey do public congratulations, person fit still congratulate publicly make e no come from him mind. Osimhen wey be first to always publicly voice out for him teammates if anything go wrong, just like in the case of Iwobi's bullying and the Libya issue, na congratulations go come hard am to do.

Osimhen and Lookman are good friends on and off the pitch, anything apart from this online na conspiracy theory. Nigerians go always dey create confusion everywhere, the best thing as a celebrity in Nigeria is to 100% ignore fans most of the time.
I saw people trying to push the narrative that he’s jealous and I swear that’s the dumbest thing I’ve seen this week

I don't think it's dumb to ask a "Former CAF Player of the Year" and a teammate to congratulate the incoming player of the year publicly.

Now that it's visible e did. Water under the bridge.

The goal is a united and successful Super Eagles

Ademola Lookman wants to return to the Premier League.

Man City and Liverpool FC are possible destinations for the recently crowned African Player of the Year.

I think as a people we just like to go against anything we feel it’s negative even where there’s no need to. People are free to raise their concerns about the unity of the team and I don’t think people still appreciate the impact it has on the success of the team and major failures of the eagles in the past has been attributed to this. If you listen to stories of past eagles players you’ll see them confessing how disunity ruined our chances in tournaments.

We saw the partnership between Lookman and Osihmen in afcon and that’s what has contributed to the current award for Lookman.

If we like let’s continue to deceive ourselves, Boniface will continue to fire blanks if he doesn’t work with his team mates. It’s public knowledge how the 94 team conspired to starve Yekini of supply and we know the impact he had, even keshi confirmed it. So when people raise observations we had better listen and pay attention. Osihmen has come out to clear the air which is good and wise of him cos going through another controversy like the one he had with finidi was never going to be in the interest of the team.

this story and Osimhen didn’t congratulate Lookman came from the same source, fans imagination. Please provide where Keshi confirmed it, thanks

Last year, when he won the award, nigerians were dragging fabrizio for not posting him. Posting a player and commenting their post is a totally different thing. Anyway, like i said when you don't properly raise a child, the authorities will help you do it

Calling is not enough. Imagine a president saying that he called a newly elected president or liked a tweet? You see how dum that sound? The general way is to publicly congratulate the person except you're scorned or feel it wasn't deserved. You know this but as a nyash licker you won't it.

lol, so you think all the players you watch week in week out are real life besties? There’s something called professionalism, they enter field and do their jobs. E.g Debruyne and Thibaut are reportedly not friends, there used to be Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham too. They enter field do their jobs and move on with their lives

one of the effects of always finishing 3rd or 2nd in afcon. You cant really quantify their contributions since they have no accolades to show for it so it will always seem like they were never here. Mention kanu to any person and the first and most notable contribution that will be mentioned will be the Olympics medal he won for us. An age grade competition.
Players fade into oblivion if they do not win trophies. Some sha. I'm not Dutch but I can't forget the Dutch team of 98. Mehn those guys were ballers.

You congratulate publicly that's the general way even to your adversary except your scorned or feel that it wasn't deserved. Additionaly, you can call or text. For example, kamala publicly congratulated trump after the elections but trump couldn't publicly congratulate biden because he suggested that biden fraudulently won. The rules of life remains the same irrespective of the individual.
