Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has spoken candidly about the importance of family and true friendships, taking to his verified X (formerly Twitter) account to share a reflective message that quickly caught attention.
In his post, Boniface appeared to distance himself from surface-level relationships, stressing that genuine support comes from family and close friends. His exact post read:
“This time make me understand a lot
Forget all those my bro my bro
FAMILY AND CLOSE FRIENDS VERY IMPORTANT
Leave all those my bro my broski
Some no just get sense”
The message triggered widespread reactions online, with many users agreeing with the Bayer Leverkusen striker’s sentiment. Several fans described family as a “lifeline,” noting how strong personal support systems can be crucial, especially for professional athletes.
As expected on social media, the post also attracted light-hearted banter. One X user, Drain, jokingly questioned Boniface’s focus, suggesting, tongue firmly in cheek that the striker had retired from football for gaming. His comment read:
“I hear say, u don retire from football, now na gaming streaming you don enter 🥲”
While Softfootball cannot confirm the exact motivation behind Boniface’s post, it is widely believed the message may be linked to the recent injury challenges he has faced. Boniface has endured a difficult period marked by fitness setbacks, including a collapsed move to AC Milan after failed medicals, which reportedly took a toll on him.
For many fans, the post felt less like drama and more like a moment of clarity, an athlete reflecting on who truly matters when circumstances become tough.
