DON'T LET INDISCIPLINE RUIN YOUR CAREER LIKE ME--Former Football star advices Osimhen.

Former Nigerian footballer Etim Esin, once hailed as the "African Maradona," has issued a stern warning to Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, cautioning him against the dangers of indiscipline in his career, according to OwnGoalNigeria. Esin, who saw his own promising career derailed by indiscipline and controversy, is urging Osimhen to learn from his mistakes and avoid a similar fate.
Esin's warning comes on the heels of Osimhen's recent rant against former Super Eagles coach Finidi George, which sparked widespread criticism and calls for the young striker to apologize. Esin, who has experienced firsthand the devastating consequences of indiscipline in football, is advising Osimhen to take a step back and reflect on his behavior.

"A coach can make or mar you in terms of indiscipline, and I think one of my pitfalls was indiscipline," Esin said in an interview with Elegbete TV. "You haven't played the World Cup. You haven't won AFCON; you just won the African Footballer of the Year, and you are ranting like this."

Esin's own career was marked by promise and controversy, with a rape allegation forcing him to leave Belgium and derailing his progress. He is now warning Osimhen that similar indiscipline could ruin his career, and is urging him to focus on his football and avoid distractions.

"Go to where you are from and build an academy. Raise another star, if they can't play football, give them scholarships. That's what his team should advise him to do," Esin said. "By now, his deal should have been closed. The window is almost over."

Esin's words of caution serve as a reminder of the importance of discipline and professionalism in achieving success in football. As Osimhen navigates the challenges of his young career, he would do well to heed Esin's warning and avoid the pitfalls that ruined his own promising career.
