Victor Osimhen Celebrates 26th Birthday with Lamborghini Urus Gift
Victor Osimhen celebrates 26th birthday with a Lamborghini Urus gift.
Obafemi Martins blesses the car in a traditional Nigerian ritual.
Osimhen’s birthday is widely celebrated, with tributes from the Super Eagles and CAF.
Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles striker, celebrated his 26th birthday on Sunday, and it seems he received a special gift, a green Lamborghini Urus.
A video surfaced online on Sunday featuring ex Super Eagles striker, Obafemi Martins offering prayers for Osimhen and his new car.
In the video, Martins is seen praying for Osimhen in front of the vehicle. The former Inter Milan player then took a sip from a glass before passing it to Osimhen, who drank what was left. Sipping from a glass over a newly acquired car or property is a common tradition in Nigeria.
The Lamborghini Urus is the world’s first super sport utility vehicle, priced between $237,848 and $269,885 (approximately N371,994,272 to N422 million based on Sunday’s exchange rate).
Osimhen’s 26th birthday was widely celebrated in the football world, with the Super Eagles’ official X handle leading the tributes for the country’s joint second all-time top goal scorer.
“Happy birthday to immediate past Africa Player of the Year, Victor James Osimhen. We wish you all the best today and always, Vic,” the post read.

The 2023 CAF Player of the Year was also honoured by the continental body.
“Wishing the happiest of birthdays to Victor Osimhen. Many happy returns.”
Osimhen featured for French club Lille between 2019 and 2020, where he scored 13 goals in 27 appearances and he was still celebrated on the official Ligue 1 handle.
“Happy birthday to the King Victor Osimhen,” they wrote on X.
His parent club Napoli also shared a birthday wish for the striker with a design, just as Galatasaray also posted his picture.
“Today is our football player Victor Osimhen’s birthday! Happy birthday,” Galatasaray wrote.
Currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, the Nigerian is currently enjoying life in Turkey with 12 goals plus four assists in 15 games across all competitions.
