Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen celebrated his 26th birthday in style on Sunday by treating himself to a luxurious Lamborghini Urus, valued at a staggering N369 million.
The striking Lemon Green super sport utility vehicle, known for its performance and elegance, is priced between $237,848 (N368,593,045) and $269,885 (N418,240,784), depending on customizations and interior choices.
A viral video captured the moment when former Super Eagles striker Obafemi Martins prayed for Osimhen beside the sleek car. In the video, Martins sipped from a glass before passing it to Osimhen, who followed suit—a traditional Nigerian custom to celebrate new milestones.
Fans, celebrities, and well-wishers flooded social media to celebrate Osimhen’s special day. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Super Eagles also joined in the celebrations on their official X (formerly Twitter) accounts, posting: “Happy birthday to immediate past Africa Player of the Year, Victor James Osimhen. We wish you all the best today and always, Vic.”
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) shared their well wishes, tweeting: “Wishing the happiest of birthdays to Victor Osimhen. Many happy returns.”
Osimhen’s former club, Lille LOSC in France, joined the celebrations with a post reading: “Happy birthday to the King Victor Osimhen,” while his current club, Galatasaray FC, where he is on loan, also wished him well, saying: “Today is our football player Victor Osimhen’s birthday! Happy birthday.”
The birthday celebration serves to reinforce Osimhen’s status as not just a football icon but also a symbol of perseverance and success in African football.
