Baller of the Week: Ademola Lookman DETHRONED by heroic Super Eagles teammate
Calvin Bassey stuns Man United in FA Cup to challenge Super Eagles main man Victor Osimhen’s brace and Ifeoma Onumonu’s goal-assist heroics for Naija Stars Abroad.
Three goals, three moments of pure class, and a tally that now sits at a sizzling 20 since he shockingly moved to Istanbul last summer. Who’s stopping this man? Spoiler alert: no one.
But let’s talk competition because the Naija Stars Abroad weren’t sleeping. Frank ‘The Tank’ Onyeka roared into action in Germany, putting on a midfield clinic for Augsburg that had Bundesliga fans buzzing and Nigeria’s new coach Eric Chelle second-guessing his World Cup qualifier snub.
A colossal display, a crucial win - Onyeka was a beast. Then there’s Francisca Ordega, tearing it up in Saudi Arabia with a hat-trick of her own, backed by Ashleigh Plumptre’s three-assist magic for Al-Ittihad Ladies.

The Super Falcons duo turned their game into a demolition derby. So why does Osimhen keep the crown? It’s simple.
Onyeka’s monster shift was a one-night fireworks show, brilliant, but not sustained. Ordega’s treble was electric, but the Saudi Women’s League doesn’t carry the same heat as Turkey’s top flight.
)
Osimhen’s delivering week after week, piling up goals like it’s a personal mission to remind the world who’s boss.
This isn’t just about one game, it’s about a striker who’s rewriting the script for Naija excellence in Europe.
)
Others tried to step up. Victor Boniface sparked Bayer Leverkusen’s wild 4-3 comeback, Moses Simon dished out another assist like it’s second nature, and Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey locked down Tottenham for Fulham.
But none matched Osimhen’s firepower. This man’s not just playing, he’s dominating, and that hat-trick was the mic drop of the weekend.
)
The Super Eagles talisman didn’t just score, he owned the pitch and took the match ball home. Each strike was a masterpiece: precision, power, and that trademark Osimhen flair that’s got defenders sweating and fans screaming.
This wasn’t a fluke; it was a flex from a striker who’s cemented his name among Europe’s deadliest. 20 goals in a debut season? That’s not just form, that’s a legacy in the making.

So, raise your glasses, Naija faithful - Victor Osimhen is your Baller of the Week, again. Bow to the king, because he’s not done reigning yet!
