‘Lookman Reminds Me of Myself’ – Ex-Super Eagles Striker Obafemi Martins

Let’s talk about Ademola Lookman, the guy who’s lighting up the pitch and grabbing headlines. As a former Super Eagles striker, I can’t help but see a little bit of myself in him—okay, maybe a lot!

First, thank you to Lookman for winning the CAF African Footballer of the Year award. The guy’s on fire! On Monday, he beat out big names like Achraf Hakimi to claim the crown. Honestly, I couldn’t be prouder.

Watching him during the 2023 AFCON was like a flashback. Lookman was sensational, scoring three crucial goals to push the Super Eagles into the final. We lost to Ivory Coast, but his brilliance made a big impression. I see why everyone’s calling him a star.

Now, let me spill the tea. In an interview with Livescore, I didn’t hold back. I said Lookman is my favorite striker right now. And guess what? It’s true! The way he plays takes me back to my glory days. His movement, energy, and flair—it’s like watching my younger self on the field. But here’s the kicker: he’s got better techniques.

Whenever I watch him, I say, “Whoa, that’s me with some extra spice!” Lookman has this killer instinct for goals, and it’s just so satisfying to see. I’m genuinely happy for him, and I know he’s got even more to offer.

And let’s not ignore his club form. Atalanta must be loving him right now. The dude’s already bagged eight goals and four assists this season. Talk about consistency! He’s bringing his A-game weekly, and fans can’t get enough.

Ademola Lookman is proof that hard work pays off. He’s the present and future of Nigerian football, and I can’t wait to see what he does next. So, here’s a message from one striker to another: keep soaring, Lookman. You’re making us proud!
