In a move that has stunned football lovers across Nigeria and beyond, Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has officially announced his retirement from international football — and he’s only 24 years old. Taking to social media, the talented forward revealed that his journey with the Nigerian national team has come to an unexpected end, leaving fans with a mix of emotions.
Boniface, who once dazzled for Union SG before making bigger moves in European football, earned 13 caps for Nigeria. However, despite his promising club performances, he was unable to score a single goal in national colours — a fact many believe contributed to the intense criticism he faced online.
Now, fans are split. While some are heartbroken and disappointed by his early exit, others are pouring in support, saying the pressure from critics and lack of appreciation may have pushed him out.
