Osimhen or Boniface: Nigerians pick who is the better player of the two Victors

Nigerian football fans have been presented with a fascinating dilemma, having to choose who the better player is between Super Eagles stars Boniface and Osimhen.

Both Boniface and Osimhen were in action as the Super Eagles of Nigeria thrashed the Cheetahs of Benin Republic 3-0 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

Boniface led the Super Eagles attack and played over 70 minutes but couldn't find the back of the net. Enter Victor Osimhen.

It only took Oshimen just six minutes after his introduction to score his 22nd goal for the Super Eagles and give Nigeria a two-goal cushion against Benin Republic.

Victor Osimhen recently joined Galatasaray from Napoli on loan after a dramatic transfer window while Boniface is well-settled in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen.

New Galatasaray man Victor Osimhen, has been the undisputed king of Nigerian football for some time.

His exploits in Serie A, culminating in a league title and the African Footballer of the Year award, have solidified his status as one of the continent's top talents.

Boniface, on the other hand, burst onto the scene with some impressive performances for Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen.

His goalscoring prowess and all-round play have earned him comparisons with Osimhen and placed him in the spotlight.

While Osimhen boasts a proven track record at the highest level, Boniface's raw talent and potential are undeniable.

The debate over who is the better player is likely to continue for some time as Nigerians continue to differ on who is the better of the two Victors.

Here are a few reactions from fans on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter):
