As seen in a video by Football Fans Tribe, some fans surrounded the Super Eagles team bus in Uyo and received a heartwarming gesture from Victor Boniface.

One of the fans lifted his phone where he had typed his account details, and the Bayer Leverkusen striker made a transfer of an undisclosed amount, gesturing that he should be shared among them.

The Germany-based forward is yet to find his feet in the Super Eagles. He has yet to score his first international goal despite making his debut in September 2023.

As noted by ANS, he has received plenty of support from interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen, who gave him multiple opportunities during the absence of Victor Osimhen due to injury.

Football-loving Nigerians are beginning to grow weary of his performances for the national team and called on him to replicate his club form in the green jersey.
