Victor Boniface may be one of Nigeria’s jovial footballers in Europe, but the 23-year-old Bayer Leverkusen striker is showing he has ambitions beyond the pitch, and they involve the use of clippers.
While most footballers start coaching, punditry, or scouting after retirement, Boniface has something completely different in mind: learning how to barb.

It is a career path that breaks from the tradition followed by former Nigerian football greats like Stephen Keshi, Augustine Eguavoen, Sunday Oliseh, and Daniel Amokachi, who all moved into coaching after hanging up their boots.
For Boniface, the thought of holding clippers instead of tactical boards excites him, so much so that he has already started what he jokingly calls “fundraising” for his future business.
Boniface tasks VDM for N300k
During a recent TikTok live session with Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan, Boniface openly asked for N300,000 to buy professional clippers and kick-start his barbing lessons.

This is not the first time the jovial Super Eagles forward has used social media to poke fun at his financial life.
In a previous video, Boniface surprised supporters by showing his account balance, humorously claiming he was “broke” despite playing at the top level in Europe.
