I Never Harm Anybody — Boniface Explains His ‘Unserious’ Social Media Posts

Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has defended his social media activity, saying his posts are purely humorous and not meant to harm anyone. The 23-year-old Werder Bremen forward, known for sharing memes and cryptic captions, has come under increased scrutiny following his challenging start with Die Werderaner after a failed move to AC Milan.

Speaking in a clip shared by journalist Oma Akatugba, Boniface clarified that people often read too much meaning into his lighthearted posts: “Like I said, the media can put whatever they want to put — it’s on them. My post, my caption, doesn’t mean nothing. It doesn’t affect nobody,” he said. He stressed that being a professional footballer doesn’t mean he should stop having fun online: “If I come online and post and insult somebody, that’s different. But when I make a funny post, bro, we’re human beings — we’re professional players, but we’re not robots.” Boniface also noted that his social media style isn’t new: “I’ve been making these posts since I was in Norway. I didn’t insult nobody.” Despite criticism, Boniface maintains that his online persona is just part of his personality — unserious, expressive, and meant purely for laughter.
