‘African footballers don’t like their country women’ – Fans slam Boniface for choosing ‘Oyinbo’ girlfriend over Nigerian babes

Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has been criticsed by fans for his choice in women after showing off his girlfriend Rikke Hermine Jansen following Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title win.

The Nigerian striker shared a heartwarming moment during Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title celebrations as he showed off his medal with Rikke Hermine after a long season of support from her and triumph for Die Schwarzroten.

Boniface’s girlfriend has been seen in the stands supporting the Super Eagles star as Bayer Leverkusen cruised to an unbeaten Bundesliga season, so it was only natural that she enjoyed the title celebrations on the pitch following the final game of the season when the Meisterschale was presented.

Not everyone was happy for Boniface and his girlfriend, however, as many fans on social media platform X were critical of the Nigerian striker for not being romantically involved with a fellow Nigerian, instead choosing a white, Norwegian girlfriend.

One user wrote, “Most African footballers don’t like their country women. Why ?” while others piled on with the same rhetoric in response to a picture of Boniface and Rikke Hermine.

Despite the barrage of questions levelled against Boniface for his choice in girlfriends, some were still supportive of the Bayer Leverkusen striker’s relationship.

Boniface would care little about the naysayers after enjoying a sensational first season in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen, scoring 14 goals and providing nine assists in only 23 games as The Red and Blacks claimed an unprecedented league title.
