From gutter to glory: I used to wash gutters for N30 – Osimhen

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has opened up about his humble beginnings, revealing that he once engaged in menial jobs to survive before rising to football stardom.

Osimhen made the revelation during a recent interview with media personality, Daddy Freeze, where he spoke about his early life challenges growing up in Lagos.

Osimhen recalled fetching water for neighbours and cleaning gutters filled with spirogyra, earning as little as N30 to N80 for each task.

He said, “There was a building in front of my house, this kind face-me-I-face-you, up of the building there, I used to fetch water for the people there for N80 and most of the time, I would wash gutter when the green things are coming out.”
