I remember being worried at the start of the season whether Osihmen will be harmed by his problematic and poisonous transfer saga from Napoli.
Few months later, 10 goals contributions from 9 league games for Turkish giants Galastasaray have effectively put those concerns to rest.
My prayer is now that Osihmen stays fit for World Cup qualifiers in March because, on this form, Nigeria has a chance to turn the tide.
In the absence of Osihmen in recent seasons, it seems Terem Moffi had been the only alternative striker with the Midas touch for Nigeria. With Moffi injured, we need Osihmen.
Some fans remain disappointed that Osihmen is playing in a league beneath his level, stature and class. Whilst this has a ring of truth to it, what is important is that Osihmen is making the best use of a makeshift arrangement.
He is on in Turkey on transit. A bigger move should materialize soon. And, scoring goals with reckless abandonment domestically and in the continent is a chilling and compassionate reminder of what he brings to any club.
It is how he will ravage our opponents in World Cup qualifiers that is of interest to me .
