''Hello Napoli, before you sell our next African footballer of the year, Osimhen, come and sign the black bullet Imade for your team. You will thank me later, I am doing free scouting for you. Remember when I told you Osimhen would win you the league?.''

In nine games played so far this season for Insurance, Imade has scored six goals for the NPFL group A leaders.
