Osmayen talked about his childhood life in the past of the slums in Lagos in an interview with reporters.

Osmaine: I grew up near one of the largest landfills in Africa, where my friends and I would pick up clothes and even expired food, such as milk. And we didn't know (this is expired)

My brothers and I live in a bedroom, and we have 7 people in total, and in 99% of the time, there is no electricity. We would go to work on the street and I sell bread and water. One of my brothers sells newspapers and we need money very much.

The first time my father saw me on TV was at the U17 World Cup. It was my sister who brought him to the neighbor's house to watch because the neighbor's house has TV and electricity.

Later, my brother and I bought a house for our father and renovated it. When my father saw the house, he fell to the ground and burst into tears. The most important thing for me is to wake up every morning to know that my family has a place to settle down (with a roof over their heads).
