No Way, I’m Not Retiring – Nigeria Forward Victor Boniface Sets the Record Straight

Nigeria Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has quickly put to rest rumors of his retirement from international football. The 24-year-old Bayer Leverkusen star had sparked widespread speculation after posting a cryptic message on social media that seemed to suggest he was hanging up his boots.

A Misinterpreted Post

In his post, Boniface wrote, “Proud to play for my country and a dream for me also. Really enjoyed every moment the good and the bad. “Thanks a lot. Thank you all. I don hang boot.” Many fans and followers took this to mean that he was retiring from international football, but it now appears that the post was misinterpreted.

The Real Story

In a recent response to a post by popular Nigerian Afro star Odumodublvck, Boniface quashed the rumors, writing, “Announce, Where I dey go?” This statement suggests that he has no intention of retiring from international football and is still very much a part of the Super Eagles.

A Joke Gone Wrong

It’s been suggested that Boniface’s initial post was just one of his many jokes on social media, and it seems that many people took it the wrong way. The player has a reputation for being light-hearted and humorous online, and it’s possible that his post was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

No Official Word from the NFF

For now, there is no official word from the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) on Boniface’s supposed retirement. Pending a formal statement from the player or the NFF, it’s safe to assume that Boniface will continue to represent Nigeria on the international stage.

Conclusion

The rumors of Victor Boniface’s retirement from international football have been put to rest, and fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The talented young player is still very much a part of the Super Eagles, and Nigeria can look forward to seeing him in action on the pitch for years to come.
