Nigeria and Super Eagles Victor Boniface seems set to reduce his social media activities.

Nigerian and Super Eagles Victor Boniface has made headlines both on and off the pitch following a remarkable performance for Bayer Leverkusen in their 4-1 victory over Hoffenheim on Saturday.

The 23-year-old forward played a pivotal role in helping his team bounce back from their recent loss that ended a 35-match unbeaten streak.

Boniface was in scintillating form, netting two goals and providing an assist in the comprehensive win.

This outstanding display came on the heels of a frustrating international break with the Super Eagles, where he failed to find the net during the AFCON 2025 qualifying series.

Victor Boniface inspires Leverkusen back to winning ways.

The young striker's return to form was marked not only by his on-field brilliance but also by a peculiar celebration in front of the fans, which has since become a talking point among supporters and pundits alike.

Following his man-of-the-match performance, Boniface took to social media to share his thoughts. In a lighthearted post written in Nigerian Pidgin English, he quipped:

Victor Boniface leaves the defender for dead for his first goal.

"I go soon stop to dey post memes or catch cruise sef e con dey be like say na only me no take my life serious this year"

Translated, this roughly means: "I might soon stop posting memes or joking around, it's starting to look like I'm the only one not taking my life seriously this year."

Boniface's strange celebration.

Boniface's jovial post shows his ability to balance his professional career with a lighthearted approach to social media engagement.

It also offers fans a glimpse into the personality behind the talented striker who has been making waves in the Bundesliga.

Boniface back to his best for Leverkusen.

His ability to connect with supporters through humour, combined with his on-field prowess, is quickly establishing him as a fan favourite both in Germany and back home in Nigeria.

With this return to form, Boniface will be looking to maintain his momentum and contribute further to Leverkusen's campaign, all while keeping his fans entertained both on and off the pitch.
