Nigerian footballer Victor Olatunji stole the spotlight during Sparta Prague’s impressive 3-0 victory over Salzburg in the Champions League. The forward not only scored a key goal but also captured attention with a message that’s been buzzing across Nigeria.

Olatunji netted Sparta’s second goal in the 42nd minute, following Kaan Kairinen’s early opener in the 3rd minute. After scoring, Olatunji sprinted to the corner flag, celebrated with Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic “Siuuu” move, and revealed a shirt with the viral message, “I’m a chosen, who are you?”

The phrase has gained traction recently in Nigeria, stemming from viral testimonies linked to the Lord’s Chosen Church. Despite some online mockery, the church has defended the authenticity of its testimonies, stating they are genuine and not fabricated.

Victor Olatunji’s celebratory statement brought this trending slang from Nigeria to an international audience, further amplifying its reach.
