Victor Olatunji Declares, ‘I Am a Chosen’ After Champions League Goal
Olatunji’s goal came just before halftime, doubling Sparta Prague’s lead. His contribution didn’t stop there, as he assisted in the third goal before being substituted in the 64th minute. His performance on the pitch drew attention, but it was his goal celebration that really got people talking. After scoring, Olatunji revealed an undershirt with the message, “I am a Chosen, who are you?” This phrase refers to a popular trend linked to the Lord’s Chosen church in Nigeria.
The Lord’s Chosen church has gained attention recently due to viral social media posts highlighting what many believe to be miraculous events. However, these posts have sparked skepticism among some Nigerians. The church’s spokesperson, Chidi Louis, responded to the growing controversy by addressing one viral video involving a woman’s testimony. According to Louis, the story shared in the video was taken out of context, as it was based on a dream, not real-life events.
Louis urged Nigerians to avoid being misled by false information circulating online. He pointed out that many bloggers and content creators spread inaccurate stories to mock the church’s practices and teachings. He encouraged people to seek accurate information by visiting the church’s official platforms.
Olatunji’s bold declaration after his Champions League goal has certainly added to the conversation around the Lord’s Chosen church. His statement, “I am a Chosen,” has resonated with many fans and sparked further discussions about faith and football in Nigeria. As the striker continues to make a name for himself on the European stage, his public display of faith has only fueled interest in both his career and the viral trend he referenced.
