Making his debut for the Super Eagles against Zimbabwe, Oseni expressed deep pride in representing Nigeria, a country his father hails from. “It is a massive pleasure where my father is from and playing for all these people here is a massive honour,” he stated. His primary goal during the tournament was to enjoy his time with the national team and help win the trophy — both of which he achieved. “The big goal was number one to come and enjoy myself at the Super Eagles and come and take the trophy. Obviously, I managed to do both so I am very pleased,” he said.
Oseni also spoke about the high expectations within the squad, stressing that the team believes it has the quality to be the best in Africa. “It is a team whereby they just want to succeed, where everyone knows that we are the best in Africa, and we have shown here today,” he remarked. He reiterated that the players are confident in their abilities and committed to achieving excellence on the continental stage. His strong form at Plymouth Argyle, where he scored 10 goals and provided 5 assists in 33 appearances, earned him a call-up to the national team.
As Nigeria continues to build momentum ahead of future competitions, Oseni’s contributions and insights offer a glimpse into the team’s growing depth and unity. His performance and words reflect a new generation of players eager to uphold Nigeria’s legacy in African football.
