He showed irresponsibility - Ex-Super Eagles star blasts Victor Osimhen after social media outburst

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Idah Peterside has termed Victor Osimhen’s social media outburst as “irresponsible” and a disrespect to Nigerian football, Soccernet.ng reports.

On Saturday, a fake report surfaced on social media where Finidi George had questioned Osimhen’s commitment to the national team.

However, the Napoli hitman did not take it lightly, as he went on a bizarre rant on social media, where he spoke about Finidi in a disrespectful manner and hurled curses at fans who were criticizing him. In fact, Osimhen only stopped when his phone was forcefully collected from him.

That incident has dominated conversations around Nigerian football, displacing the merry-go-round in the Nigeria Football Federation concerning the Super Eagles coaching position.

Following Osimhen outburst, former Nigeria international Peterside has expressed disappointment with the Napoli star because he believes it was an irresponsible act. And Peterside has called on the former Lille man to apologize for his actions.

“He (Osimhen) needs to come outside and apologize for the things he said to Finidi, Peterside said on social media.

“Finidi George is a legend, You don’t just widen your mouth and say things that are unpalatable. If you have issues with the man, pick up your phone and call him. That’s what responsible people do.

“Osimhen has just shown a bit of irresponsibility, and that’s unexpected. I think the NFF should call Osimhen’s and ask him to apologize. He has to apologize for saying things.”

As it stands, Osimhen would have to apologize to Finidi, because even the post that made him rant was fake.
