Osimhen said via The Nation:

“I am inspired by Sadio Mane, but I have a different goal compared to his.

“He is building infrastructure for the community of Senegal. That is awesome, but for me, I want to help disabled challenged people across Africa. I will always do my best to help where I can help.

“I am in the process of opening headquarters in Africa that will help to achieve this goal. If you don’t have a leg, we will create a new one for you. If it’s an arm, we will create a new one for you. We want them to feel equal to everyone. We work for Africa.”
