Punchline33:
Though fake news is bad but trying to emulate Maradona is not bad for motivation

I hope u know he is in Italy where there are mafias, cultists and racists

WriterNig:
Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen who recently signed for Italian Serie A side Napoli, has taken to his twitter page to blast Punch Newspaper for fabricating a false story about him.

Victor Osimhen joined Napoli from Lille last month for a record fee of €70 million which could potentially rise to €80 million.

Following a false story by Punch Newspaper about him with the headline which read, "I want to emulate Maradona at Napoli", Victor Osimhen has now come out to debunk such news stating that he has not granted any interview since his father died in May 2020 and such stories were false.

He warned Punch Newspaper against fabricating fake stories. Part of the post which was shared by Victor Osimhen on his twitter page read,

"I never said such a thing, y’all copy paste journalist just like to fabricate lies, since the passing of my late father I haven’t grant any interview whatsoever, stop this nonsense else na thunder go fire una."

But Op, this account is not verified like that of punch newspaper. Abi Osimhen never reach that level?

Nawa o Nawa o

This Guy is just been a Child, Why bring down their image becoz of one lazy journalist... You lost my respect boy

FuckOsuPigs:
Take it easy bro, you still need them on your way to the top. The story may be fake but it's actually a good thing for you to follow in the footsteps of a legend. Such story is even an honour to you.

Using uncouth language against them can be counterproductive.

A word is enough for the wise.

do you know the pressure that statement might cost him

He has a right to air his opinion on what affects him

We called that newspaper TISSUE PAPER. No wonder Bubu never take them serious

I still respect punch

He should refine his responses a bit and be wary of the Press. No one really wins against them. A simply worded statement should suffice.

Thunder sef don tire

I tire too o my brother

Guy, take it easy.

Those that will be praising you today for your reaction will be the same set of people that will castigates you tomorrow if anything goes wrong performance wise @Napoli.

You're a professional footballer and to some extent, a celebrity know how to handle such issues professionally.

I stand to be corrected that even this headline on Nairaland might not be the way you presented your displeasure, but that's journalism for you! See where the journalist picked his selling point! Social media must attract traffic to their sites..

Better still, two wrongs can not make a right.

martineverest:

try and be a little bit professional when responding to issues

ayenale1:
His response is too jejune and that can cost him alot especially now that he was newly signed by a top club in Italy and if the club get to understand his response to tweet like this...he can be fired because Maradona is a demigod both in Napoli and Argentina...what will have been his response if he's racially abuse which is very rampant in Italy...he needs to mature in responding to criticism...thank you for comparing me with Maradona will have been the perfect answer.

he rather not say thank you, it's too early for any silly newspaper to be putting such pressure on him especially when it wasn't a article but a propoted fake interview of him from a Nigeria newspaper that doesn't know how much he toiled to get to where he is

him come fear..becos him no say e easy to match maradona

Punch will respond. With evidence...

BTW, a celeb shouldn't attack the media. It doesn't end well

Exactly! There are some fake news where such an outburst will be justified, definitely not this.

There is a way to make a constructive statement without having to sound rude.

Unfortunately, not everyone know how to handle a public image and a career at the same time.

Wishing him the best anyway!

the way this guy sound so, I hope this transfer never enter him head o, I watch TVC sports 11:30am yesterday with him interview with Promise Eifoghe with some footage portraying you as a humble dude, take am easy abeg. I'm against punch on the fake news they peddled against you. but, humility will take you far baba

I don't think there's enough thunder left in the clouds to fire anybody again. Even rain hardly comes with thunder this days

Punch I dey beg una make una no punch this guy back. Punch can run a destructive journalism on him. It may be false but it would have damning effect in him.
They could start with age cheat even with false evidence.

Pls come to my place to get it, My village thunder strong pass all is free
