Nigerian actor and matchmaker, Lege Miami, has shared his thoughts on the Super Eagles’ impressive 2–0 victory over Algeria in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The crucial win secured Nigeria’s place in the semifinals, thanks to goals from Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams.

Lege took to Instagram to address those who previously questioned Osimhen’s attitude and relevance in the squad.

Before the quarterfinal clash, some Nigerians had heavily criticized the Napoli forward following his on-field disagreement with teammate Ademola Lookman during the earlier fixture against Mozambique.

Calls for disciplinary action, including suggestions that Osimhen be benched or excluded from the squad, circulated online.

But the striker appeared unfazed as he delivered a vital performance against Algeria, proving once again why he is considered one of Africa’s most valuable players.

In his video, Lege Miami condemned those who doubted the striker. His message was sharp and unapologetic:

“No Victor Osimhen, no Super Eagles. Those Nigerians who wanted him benched because of his fight with Lookman, shame on you. That boy is Nigeria’s best player. Kudos to Eric Chelle for not listening to the distractors. He went to beg him and played.”

He insisted that Osimhen remains the backbone of the Nigerian squad and credited Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle for standing firmly behind the player despite criticism.

According to Lege, the decision to keep Osimhen in the starting lineup proved crucial, especially in a match of such magnitude.
