Her food is actually nice - Victor Boniface MELTS over 'hot' content creator who impressed him with her cooking skills

Victor Boniface is showing fans a softer side - and it all started with a plate of jollof. 

The Super Eagles forward known for his impressive finishing on the pitch and no-nonsense humour off it, has left fans buzzing after he was spotted in a viral Instagram video praising the cooking skills of sultry Nigerian content creator and food vendor, Phoebe Odekina Esohe Ejura, better known online as “justkingphoebe___”.

The 24-year-old Bayer Leverkusen star, currently enjoying his summer break in Lagos, looked anything but savage as he smiled cheek to cheek, taste-testing Phoebe’s home-cooked meal. 

“She brought food for me and my friends and it’s actually good,” Boniface confessed in the now-trending video. 

“But she forget [put] chicken, but no problem. The food is actually nice.”

In her defence, Phoebe cheekily claimed she was rushing the order after the Bundesliga star pressured her to finish quickly — before her delivery even arrived. 

The flirtatious exchange, coupled with Boniface’s rare moment of sweetness, has left social media in a frenzy.

While fans speculate on a possible “situationship” between the footballer and the content queen, there’s serious business bubbling in the background. 

Boniface, who netted 11 goals this season despite a string of injuries, is the subject of transfer speculation.

Pulse Sports earlier reported Premier League side Newcastle United are in advanced discussions with Bayer Leverkusen for a £40 million summer swoop. 

Magpies manager Eddie Howe is in the market for a new striker as Callum Wilson’s contract winds down and top scorer Alexander Isak draws interest from abroad.

While Boniface’s talent is undeniable, questions loom over whether the Nigerian ace would be content playing second fiddle to Isak.

 With Newcastle securing European football next season, depth will be crucial — and Boniface’s proven track record might just make him their secret weapon.
