"Once upon a time…

Victor Osimhen woke up one morning and decided gravity was no longer his mate. During a crucial match, as a cross floated into the box, Osimhen took off—not like a normal footballer, but like someone whose village people had mistakenly given him wings.

By the time he reached the peak of his jump, spectators were already adjusting their phone cameras to panoramic mode. The referee checked VAR to confirm if he had used a trampoline. Even Ronaldo, watching from home, adjusted his TV brightness, thinking his eyes were deceiving him.

Scientists are currently in the lab, running calculations. Some say Osimhen trained with astronauts. Others believe his ancestors whispered “go higher” into his ears before the match. Meanwhile, the ball? It’s still trying to understand how it got headed from that altitude.

And that, my friends, is how Victor Osimhen turned football into an aviation experiment."
