Nigerian international football star Victor Osimhen is set to make a landmark visit to his ancestral hometown of Ohkuessa, located in Esan South Local Government Area of Edo State. This marks the first time the Napoli striker will be stepping foot in his paternal village, igniting widespread excitement among residents.
Born and raised in Lagos, Osimhen’s father hails from Edo State while his mother is originally from Obiaruku in Delta State. Despite his global football fame, this visit symbolizes a deep reconnection with his roots and cultural heritage.
In a show of goodwill and generosity, Osimhen is also donating truckloads of rice to members of the community as part of the homecoming event. The gesture is being praised as a heartfelt move to support local families and give back to the place of his origin.
Community leaders and locals have begun preparations to welcome the football icon, with many describing the visit as historic and inspiring. For a region often overlooked, Osimhen’s return is being celebrated as a beacon of hope, pride, and unity.
The visit underscores the importance of staying connected to one’s roots, even in the face of international stardom. It also reflects Osimhen’s growing role as not just a sports figure, but a humanitarian voice and role model for Nigerian youth.
