Olusosun is a community in Lagos
State, Nigeria.

According to Osimhen, Olusosun helped shape him to become
the kind of person he is today.

The 26-year-old described Olusosun as an amazing place
because he learnt life lessons in the community, adding that he always goes
there when he is in Nigeria to show gratitude.

“I came from a very poor background. I’m the lastborn of
seven. I lost my mum at a very young age, and my father passed on in 2020,”
Osimhen was quoted by UEFA’s website as saying after Galatasaray’s Champions
League 3-0 win against Ajax on Wednesday.

“Before I rose to fame, before I became someone important in
life, my childhood was really tough because, as a young lad, I had to try to
live for myself, to try to help my siblings also in raising money at that time
and to make sure that we all came together to help our father after his wife
passed away.

“Olusosun shaped me to become the kind of person I am today,
and, as much as I wouldn’t say it gave me so much, it actually taught me life
lessons that have helped me through life’s journey.

“So, for me, it’s really an amazing place; that’s the reason
why any time I’m in Nigeria, I always go there to show gratitude, to show the
young kids that if I could make it out of this place, I believe that you can.”
