Prophet speaks about Osimhen
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Prophet Joshua Iginla has commented on the position of Nigeria’s talisman, Victor Osimhen, in the Super Eagles.
The cleric said Osimhen was not the player scoring the goals for Nigeria; however, he was the most talked about player on the Super Eagles team.
Prophet Iginla then urged his congregation to always fit into their role properly, adding that it is not always about being at the front but about fitting into one’s position properly.
