Social commentator Geh Geh has called out Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface for splurging on a Lamborghini reportedly worth ₦400 million at a time when many Nigerians are facing economic hardship and worsening insecurity.
According to Geh Geh, the footballer’s decision to buy a luxury car was insensitive, especially considering the pressing issues affecting his home state, Edo.
He pointed to the recent abduction of a couple in the state, where kidnappers allegedly demanded a ₦70 million ransom, suggesting that Boniface’s status and financial strength could have made a difference in helping the situation.
His criticism has triggered mixed reactions online. While some Nigerians agree that influential figures should show more compassion during national crises, others argue that private citizens cannot be forced to take on responsibilities that should fall to the government.
He said:
“Victor Boniface disappointed me for buying a ₦400 million Lamborghini in a time when Nigerians are crying for help. A couple was k!dn@pp3d in Edo State and the k!dn@pp3r$ asked for ₦70 million. Being from the state, Victor Boniface could have stepped in to help.”
