Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface, has clarified that he is not a rude person but merely has fun with memes on social media.
Boniface had been called out in the past over his posts on social media, but appearing on The Culture League podcast, the Bayer Leverkusen player explained that he posts memes on social media to express himself.
“People have a misconception that most football players are rude or prideful, just because we don’t associate too much with other professions, so people think we are rude. No, we are not.”
“The public wants us to be like other celebrities, but there are certain things entertainers do that we can’t do. So, when we are not doing those things, they assume that we are rude.
“Me, for example, I post a lot of savage memes and people think I’m rude but I’m not. I would never insult anyone online until you say something offensive.
”Some of us have in-built craziness that people have to provoke out in us but I’m just calm. But if you bring it, we will give it to you,” the striker explained.
