Nigerian striker says education remains a priority as he looks beyond his football career.
Nigerian international and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has revealed that he plans to return to school after his football career, emphasizing that life extends beyond the game.
Speaking about his future ambitions, Osimhen said he understands that football is a short career and believes education will play an important role in preparing him for life after retirement.
"Football won't last forever. I'll definitely go back to school because learning never ends," the striker said, stressing the importance of personal development beyond success on the pitch.
Osimhen noted that while football has transformed his life and provided opportunities to support his family, he remains committed to expanding his knowledge and preparing for new challenges after hanging up his boots.
The prolific forward has established himself as one of Africa's leading footballers through his performances for club and country. His comments have been widely praised by fans and education advocates, who say his message highlights the value of combining sporting excellence with academic achievement.
The Super Eagles star encouraged young athletes to invest in their education while pursuing their sporting dreams, noting that having skills and knowledge outside football can provide opportunities long after retirement.
Osimhen's remarks serve as a reminder that professional sports careers are limited, while education and continuous learning can create lasting opportunities throughout life.
