Assistant coach of Solution FC, an Anambra-based Nigeria National League team, Olisa Ezeasor, has sold the pair of boots given to him by Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen.
He listed the boots for N1m, barely two months after Osimhen gifted them to him. The Super Eagles star last used the boots when he netted a hat-trick for Nigeria in the recent 2026 World Cup qualifier against the Benin Republic.
Ezeasor sold the boots to football administrator Fola Olatunji-David for an undisclosed amount, explaining that he needed the funds to support his business.
“Officially putting this boot up for sale. Price: One million naira only. Size: 44/45. Money needed to support my personal business,” Eseasor wrote on Saturday.
On Sunday, he posted an update confirming the sale and also announced a giveaway of N250,000 from the proceeds.
“Update: Boot bold. Purchased by Fola Olatunji-David. Price: undisclosed.
“In order to give back to my mutual community, who have been active under my posts since my small fame in this space, I’ll be doing a giveaway worth N250,000. N10,000 for 25 persons. Follow my account, on my post notification, and comment done with a screenshot of my post notification on. I’ll select winners from the comments. Entries start now.”
The boots were given to Ezeasor in September after he praised Osimhen for boosting Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualification chances with his hat-trick against Benin Republic.
Meanwhile, Solution FC fell 2–0 to Abakaliki FC — finalists in the 2025 President Federation Cup — on Saturday, a defeat that led the coach to lament what he described as biased officiating in the league.
