Just days after Remo Stars made history by clinching the NPFL title—their first ever, and the first for any South West club in a quarter of a century—Osimhen made his move.
But this wasn’t just a press release and a handshake. The Super Eagles forward personally called up Remo Stars’ head coach, Daniel Ogunmodede, with heartfelt congratulations and news of the generous gift.
His ₦10 million donation was split equally: ₦5 million for the players who fought tooth and nail all season, and ₦5 million for the technical crew, the masterminds behind the club’s fairytale run.
This wasn’t just about money—it was about respect. Osimhen, who has taken European football by storm, reminded everyone that home is where the heart is.
His act of generosity struck a powerful chord with fans and officials across the country, with many praising his dedication to nurturing Nigerian football from the grassroots up.
In a time when success often leads players to look outward, Osimhen’s gesture brought the spotlight home, proving that true champions don’t just win trophies—they lift others too.
Now that’s a striker’s assist off the pitch!
