"I Think Osimhen Went Out Of Line" Victor Osimhen And Coach Finidi Saga
Ойын-сауық
Today on the show, the ladies discussed their diverse perspectives on the ongoing feud between football superstar Victor Osimhen and Coach George Finidi.
Former Super Eagles coach Finidi George has responded to Victor Osimhen’s viral video on social media where he denied accusations of faking an injury to avoid participation in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Osimhen had taken to Instagram Live on Saturday to clarify that claims about him staging an injury to skip national team duties were false.
In the video, Osimhen addressed some rumors linked to Finidi George claiming that the former Enyimba gaffer said that he won’t beg him [Osimhen] to play for the Super Eagles.
Osimhen lashed out at coach Finidi George, stating that he has lost respect for him.
The controversy prompted Nigerian sports journalist Colin Udoh to seek clarification from both the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) and Finidi George.
Udoh reached out to senior NFF officials, who confirmed that Finidi never accused Osimhen of feigning an injury.
Udoh also revealed that he reached out to Finidi who refuted ever making such a statement and expected Osimhen to have handled the situation differently.

I like the ethusiasm shown by the sport analyst... This is a man that loves his job🙌🏾
Thank you so much brother for clearing the air. The case is now clearer
The reporter was awesome. Too make sense. Thanks for the info
Yeni and alhjiya are very smart and intelligent on this issue period both of them are not taking sides
I want to give Osimhen a benefit of doubt but psychologists say you should believe people as they present themselves. Osimhen has once called out Victor Ikpeba, now it is Finidi George. These are all ex Super Eagles star that are well respected. We now call him a coward because he can go on IG live to abuse his fans and coach but he cannot do the same for Italians who are racist towards him. Never disrespect your boss especially in public. People will take note. Osaze was once here against Christian Chukwu. You can never go far with disrespecting the FA and coach. Big players have been dropped in tournaments for bad behaviour around the world and nothing happened. Brazil, Spain, England, Italy, France, they have dropped players and won. No player is bigger than the team and this is where education is needed. Do not respond when angry and talent is not enough. Oliseh, Okocha and others have fought the NFA before, nothing is new Osimhen. You still need to play in national team for you to transfer to another club. Eat the humble pie. What is more unfortunate?The story Osimhen was reacting to was false! Fake news

@@sulaimondamilola2237 The news is not true and that is why Miyen gave a breakdown. The blogger who spread the rumor that Finidi George called out Osimhen has removed the story. Even Sahara Reporters that left it on their site published a news article that Finidi never said that. See what rumors and malice cause. The deed has been done and some of us are responding to someone's imagination and fake story ☹ Colin Udoh also clarified the story and I challenge you to show us where Finidi said so. oya come to court
I am with Osimhen on this even though he was out of line with his expression. I have seen him in close quarters and I can assure you he is very respectful. The problem are those mess of elders in the NFF.
This analyst go sabi gist oh!!!! He has given us the back story. Sometimes, the way you are told about something that was said of you can trigger your action.
Management of change issues are also present from the NFF angle.
So it's right for a "legend" to spit lies and defame a player or ruin his name or question his loyalty to his country hun? This is the problem of our society today

Know matter what Mr finidi said even if he did not say so, you don't have the right to insult an elder , we have the culture of respect in Nigeria, Mr finidi is like father to Victor, if Victor father talk to him anyhow will Victor come online to insult him, Victor shld be very careful, remember the Bible say honor ur father and mother so that your days may be long .

He didn't see social media to rant but social media was attacking him because Finidi was generally in a bad state rather than being specific. Finidi knew the implications of what he said in Nigeria space.

You are very gullible for such a submission, who raised you? Is that the way you insult your Elders at home? Would you had said such if it was your father that Osimhen insulted like that, would you had justified his dirty and despicable actions? Have you seen any recorded tape with Finidi George voice saying that or a video?when we were growing up we bow our heads and listens when Elders speaks and speaks only when we are asked to but nowadays you want to live like the westerner's, worship their invented white Jesus, religion, bible and Qur'an, white wedding, He accused Finidi George of what he was not guilty of and insulted him on top base on a propagandist journalist written article, a man old enough to be his father, last time him Osimhen insulted Victor Ikpeba simply because he said he shouldn't had tried the bicycle kick against Ghana in the world cup qualifiers, Victor Ikpeba is going to 60 years,
If osihmen don't play Nigeria no fit win again? Shame on finidi .🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Could he not have expressed his objections without being offensive? Can he call out his Italian club coach in such a manner in similar circumstances? The facts are the facts.

If Osymen sent a medical report confirmed by a medical doctor of his injury. NFA acknowledged this report, why would a couch that supposed to have human relations skill be doing that way. Suspending a player cos he has injury is just out of place. This shows he can’t even manage his own players.
Not everything is about being Genz or not. I believe that if you're rational enough youll see the grey areas
There is nothing to debate here, Victor has to show he was brought up we and call Finidi and apologise by saying he got wrong information. It is just common sense. Nyma was right about Finidi's resignation.
The meeting is incomplete- there should be players representatives in such meeting for a lasting solution.

Victor Osihmen could also have found out because those NFF involved will try to follow up on the accusations that he doesn't want to play.
Hypocrites..The same elder sister of Seun kuti who rants and "goes out of line" every time. No one endorses rudeness but don't cast stones when you live in a glass house.
Stamp which feet your opening presentation 😂😂😂😭💔 let's see who needs who more😂💔🤦🏼♂️
Osimhen attitude cannot be excused even if Finidi said what he told the board to him directly. You were just dancing round. Nima is very funny. You love Osimhen so you can't see any wrong. Personally, in this, Finidi wasn't wrong at all. I go into a board to discuss in confidentiality and a silly player is reacting based on that. Obviously that godfatherism would be the death of the Super Eagles
Nigeria jagajaga. There are lots of of bigger players than Victor and younger than Victor in jurisdictions, they don think of their generation from a to Z This young man called Victor has not really achieved anything yet in soccer. He got a scudetto highest goal scorer and champions No champions league, no World Cup accolades yet. In another 10 years no one will remember Victor and Finidi will still be a beacon in our soccer
BTW, the idea that respect is reciprocal has become an excuse for being disrespectful and needs to be corrected. There is a basic level of respect you accord people in position of authority in the family or society regardless of whether they have earned it or not. Victor would not do that to a white coach. He's had issue at his club too and never went online ranting and cursing. Why dont Finidi jump on IG and start cursing the NFF or the Sport Ministry? Maturity, wisdom and respect. None of which Victor has been displaying of late. Patting him on the back won't help him, telling him the truth will.

From now, let wait an see the caliber of Teams and Coaches that will be requesting for his service. I no for sure he can do that with Pep,Mou, Ancelloti and co.
European clubs do connive with players who do not want to play for their national team because they don't like it when they get injure.
Yes Our values have changed unfortunately. Access to the internet by every Tom, Dick and Harry has also facilitated this. It is a pity really.
so my question is if there were only 6 people in the meeting how did you too know. the way you also told the story as if you were there.....
I am shocked that you guys are saying this now, that if you do something today,you will reap tomorrow
Without him we can win
Which worldcup do they want to go? Players are below average

He travelled to Germany to visit his child and doctor. Remember, so many players visit other doctors because even club doctors don’t get it right. I know so many Brazil players who go back to Brazil for treatment.
In Europe,1 can wake and go to a doctor to get a medical reports, just to stay home,most especially that of italy he is,we live here in Europe, Europe are more corrupt than Nigeria 🇳🇬 😅

How can we win 4 matches to qualify for world cup. We just crying over spilt milk.
Can you hear human being? Discipline Victor in what way? You are destroying our football by your unnecessary discussion.
To everyone criticizing Victor Osimhen for the way he spoke to Coach Finidi George, it's important to consider the context and fairness of the situation. Osimhen has been under scrutiny, not for his performance on the pitch, but for his response to comments made about him while he was injured. First, it's unusual for a coach to publicly mention an injured player in a critical context, especially one who wasn’t part of the match squad. Coaches typically focus on the players who were actively involved in the game. Criticizing Osimhen while he was sidelined diverts attention from the actual performance of the team. Moreover, respect is indeed reciprocal. Legends in sports, like Finidi George, should remember that their words carry significant weight. Criticizing an injured player can be seen as unfair and might provoke a defensive reaction. Comparisons to how Osimhen might behave with other renowned coaches, such as Antonio Conte or José Mourinho, miss the point. Professional conduct and mutual respect should be maintained regardless of the player's club or the coach's status. These top coaches would generally address the issues with the available players rather than drawing attention to those who are injured. In summary, Osimhen's response might have been fueled by the frustration of being unjustly singled out while not being able to contribute on the field. It’s important to ensure that criticisms and discussions remain fair and focused on the right subjects. Thank you.
