“Football Money Too Long!” — Victor Boniface Left Shook After Seeing Taiwo Awoniyi’s ₦800M Car Collection
Even fellow footballers get car envy, apparently. According to a viral post making the rounds, Victor Boniface couldn’t hide his shock upon seeing the scale of Taiwo Awoniyi’s garage a Bentley and a Range Rover reportedly worth a combined ₦800 million. The reaction, captured on camera, has fans laughing and shaking their heads at the same time: “Football money too longgggg.”
Wait, Aren’t These Two Actually Close?
If the names Boniface and Awoniyi sound familiar together, that’s because these two Super Eagles strikers have one of the most genuinely entertaining friendships in Nigerian football right now and it’s been building for a while.
Fans first got a proper look at their dynamic when Boniface was famously caught on camera “begging” Awoniyi for £100 while the pair travelled to a Super Eagles qualifier in Rwanda, a moment that instantly went viral for how casually the two roasted each other on camera. Weeks later, they were spotted holding hands while walking out for a national team qualifier against Libya, a moment Nigerian fans received with plenty of laughter and jokes online. Their chemistry runs deeper than internet clips too Awoniyi has publicly sent Boniface heartfelt encouragement during tough moments, like when Boniface was ruled out of AFCON with injury, with Awoniyi (himself recovering from a groin issue at the time) writing him a message of solidarity in pidgin: “We gallant for that green white green… no one fit kill light.”
So this latest “shock” moment fits right into their ongoing bromance the kind of playful reaction that comes from two teammates who are close enough to genuinely clown each other, car collections included.
The Bigger Picture: European Football Money Is No Joke
Whether or not the exact ₦800 million figure holds up to scrutiny, the underlying point still stands: both players are firmly established in the upper tiers of European football, with the kind of salaries that make luxury car collections a realistic flex rather than a stretch. Awoniyi has spent recent seasons as a key striker for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League one of the best-paying leagues on the planet while Boniface has built his own reputation in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen. Premier League and Bundesliga wages, combined with sponsorship deals that come with being established Super Eagles internationals, put both players comfortably in a financial bracket most fans can only imagine.
Wahala Network Take
Whether Boniface’s shock was genuine or just good content for the camera, the message lands the same either way: professional football money, especially at the Premier League and Bundesliga level, is simply built different. If your own teammate is out here stunned by your garage, you already know you’re doing something right.
Say what you want, but “football money too long” might be the realest caption of the week.
