Nigerian footballer Victor Boniface has reacted after a 15-year-old boy he gifted his boots sold them for $100.

On March 21st, Nigeria faced Rwanda in an intense match that ended with a 2-0 victory for the Nigerian team. After the game, Boniface, known for his generosity, handed his boots to a young fan who had come to watch the match. The thoughtful gesture was meant as a memorable keepsake for the boy.

However, a recent video surfaced showing the boy admitting that he sold the boots to a Rwandan buyer for $100. In the video, the teenager revealed that he used the money to buy a bicycle, school bags, and a new uniform. Rather than keep the boots as memorabilia, he decided to turn them into something useful for himself.

Boniface, upon hearing about this, responded in a lighthearted manner. He jokingly requested that netizens help him track down the boy, insisting that he should receive 10% of the money made from the sale. His reaction has sparked various opinions online, with some people amused by the situation while others debated whether the boy should have kept the boots as a sentimental item.

The incident has drawn attention to the different ways people value gifts, especially when practical needs outweigh sentimental attachments. Whether the boy made the right decision or not, he undoubtedly made the most of the opportunity.

“Abeg make Una find this boy for me

Make he drop 10% of the money ooo,” he wrote.

Reactions have followed:

@V_O_AKwaIbom: “People dey say poor decision… I laf, for country wey be say people dey look for food to eat 😄😄

But a wise decision would have been to take a picture with Boniface as he is giving you the boot, Keep the boot , and use it to make money in the future. Abi?”

@idjesanuvie: “Don’t think it’s a poor decision at the time, he needed that money so bad and to him he was a good deal at the time, the only way he could have gotten more if he had a adult broker a deal for him.”

@johnjaydee4945: “The Rwandan guy played a fast one on him. That boot is nothing less than 500 dollars for market normally.”
