An X user identified as @lekanfothegods on the platform has called out Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen for not contributing to national development like his Senegalese counterpart Sadio Mane.
The X user had been reacting to a tweet by ‘Football tweet’ which laid out reported achievements of Mane including funding hospitals and building schools.
The tweet reads:

Osimhen go come naija, ball only smallie and lerry
The man who implied that Osimhen only had fun in Nigeria, has come under fire from multiple sources over what many have termed as an entitlement mentality.
Mavins singer Crayon weighed in on the matter, advising the X user to direct his energy towards the Nigerian government.
He wrote:
The entitlement is wild. When him dey sell pure water for street where you dey? When him lose him parents where you dey ? When him get head injury break him face where you Dey? Okay make we leave things wey him dey do or don do wey him dey lowkey about….. Oshimhen na Nigerian government? Like focus this energy on the government or hustle hard. TF
One thing I have learnt the hard way never try to please people. You could literally drop dead trying to please people and it will never be enough. Just do what you gat to do anybody wey no like am go dey alright.
Another user wrote:
You are saying this because he is someone who loves to keep his contributions very private. If he was one who loves to take public credits for his contributions to Nigeria as a whole, you probably would still hate and say he is doing it for show off. Just let go of the hate!

@itsShOla:
Whatever Victor Osimhen chooses to do with his money is his business tho. He’s not your president or governor who owe you things, he’s a footballer, that’s his job, you also have a job you’re doing, you don’t share your incomes with Nigerians. Don’t let entitlement wound you.
