Potential big boy, Footballer Victor Osimhen has Revealed that he Used to Clean Gutters for N20 Naira” while growing up

Super Eagles star, Victor Osimhen has revealed he cleaned gutters and did other menial jobs to survive before venturing into professional football.

The 22-year-old Napoli star shared his grass to grace story while speaking with Head Topics recently.

According to His post

“Most people are familiar when I say this because they have come through even worse [situations] than mine and where I grew up, nothing is promised there because whatever you want to get, you have to work so hard for it.

“I remember when I was growing up, I was cleaning the gutters for 20 Naira, for my landlord and did some cleaning jobs for my neighbours close to my house, fetch water for 80 Naira, I think.

“I found pleasure in doing these things because I believed when I worked so hard to get this money, it was important for me. I had consciousness on how to spend this money and help my family.

“While growing up, my brother was selling newspapers, my sister oranges. I was in the traffic with water and I’d had to chase cars, give them water to get the money. I feel like these struggles helped me in life.

“I am grateful for where I am today because of what I’d been through, it shaped me into the man I am. I am really grateful to God for that.”

Speaking on his journey to stardom, the striker said, “It all started like a dream, a boyhood dream from the slum and I feel like I have achieved this feat, it’s one of my biggest achievements in life.”
