Victor Boniface is doing the rounds online for reasons other than his on-pitch performances. Over the weekend, the Bayer Leverkusen striker offered footballers a dose of relationship advice that was both funny and strangely practical.
“Disrespecting your body and wasting your money with different girls won’t get you anywhere in life,” Boniface wrote. “Find yourself 1 girl or 2 girls and settle down highest 3 girls or if you’re going through a lot 4 is okay.”
The text post, posing as relationship advice for men, read like a mix of serious guidance and accidental comedy. The idea of putting a cap on relationships, with four allowed if times are tough, had fans joking about Boniface setting up a new rulebook for dating. Was there any subtle message beneath the banter? Maybe. Or, it’s just for a good laugh.
Humor with a serious edge
Reactions came quickly. Some fans turned the “highest 3 girls” line into a running joke, while others praised him for “spitting facts” about not wasting time or money. That blend of laughter and agreement lifted it to virality. But the meme’s guile is nothing unexpected.
Boniface’s social media game is for footballers and jokesters. He’s just as likely to post a motivational message as he is to poke fun at himself, which makes his feed unpredictable and engaging. He even joked that Drake, who laughed hysterically at the Nigerian’s post, could use his relationship tips.
At a time when many footballers stick to polished, sponsor-friendly posts, Boniface’s unfiltered voice is refreshing. His message was playful, but it also reflected the challenges players face off the pitch: managing millions, distractions, and the expectations that come with fame. That’s why the post resonated with fans and players alike.
For a striker who thrives on timing in the box, Boniface showed he’s got just as sharp a sense of timing, even if ironic, online.
