Nigerian striker Victor Boniface, who plays for Bayer Leverkusen, recently celebrated his club's historic Bundesliga championship by investing in two custom-made diamond chains valued at over ₦10 million. The striker's poignant tribute comes after a standout debut season where he scored the opening goal and provided an assist during Leverkusen's decisive 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen at the Bay Arena—a win that clinched the club's first-ever Bundesliga title.
Boniface commissioned the well-known jeweler Buchi Obasi, famed for creating Victor Osimhen's championship ring and chains after Napoli's Scudetto win last season. One of the chains prominently features a diamond-encrusted pendant that bears the inscription "Dreams Are For Real," alongside a throwback photo of his late mother and siblings, commemorating his family's influence and his humble beginnings.
The 23-year-old has openly shared his personal history, revealing that after the loss of his mother last year, he was raised by his grandparents. In a heartfelt gesture, he arranged for his grandmother to travel and watch him play in the Bundesliga, further highlighting his family's significant role in his life and career.
