‘She is so special’ - Boniface names the most important person in his life

Boniface returned to Nigeria with the Super Eagles team following their 1-1 draw to Benin Republic on Thursday night.

During the game, the striker came in as a substitute in the second half, with the team looking for an equaliser after Benin scored in the first half.

However, it was Osimhen who came to the rescue with a thumping header late in the game, as Nigeria secured qualification for the 2025 AFCON tournament in Morocco.

Ahead of the Super Eagles clash with Rwanda in Uyo, Boniface revealed during an interview the one special person in his life.

When asked during an interview with Oluwashina Okeleji on X, who is the most important person in his life, Boniface said, “My grandma.”

He was then asked why she was so special to him and he said, “She raised me? I grew up with her, so she raised me. I grew up with her.”

Boniface claimed that his grandma was the most important person in his life and the only person he would always talk to.

He also mentioned that the reason for her being the special person was that he grew up with her and she nurtured him.

Meanwhile, Boniface will be looking to help the Super Eagles end their qualifying rounds with a win over Rwanda on Monday.
