Comedian Ushbebe has argued ungrateful people and Italian professional football club, Napoli share the same characteristics.
He made the statement following the surfacing of a now-deleted TikTok video on the Serie A club’s social media profile on Tuesday where it mocked one of its star players, Victor Osimhen.
The video centred on an incident in the club’s scoreless draw against Bologna on Sunday, in which Osimhen spurned the opportunity to win the game from the penalty spot.
That proved to be the game’s defining moment and was a rare miss from the Nigerian – who had bagged three goals in his first five matches this season.
Yet Napoli’s peculiar video focused on Osimhen appealing for the penalty, using a strange and rather unsettling sped-up voice which appeared to have no context, other than to mock the striker for his attempts to persuade the decision to be given.
Despite having helped Napoli secure a first league title, the club’s first in three decades, by scoring 31 goals across all competitions, the 24-year-old Nigerian professional football star was mocked by his club.
Reacting to incident, Ushebe appealed to Osimhen not to be upset, stating his club’s action was born out of ingratitude which he noted was a common among human beings, especially the whites.
He illustrated the Neapolitans action with ‘normal’ human beings that would praise you when the going is smooth but swiftly turn around to bash you when it gets a little tough.
He said: “So what is happening to Victor Osimhen is just a simple case of human being….you understand? These white people do it a lot. When they see that you’re talented, they won’t mind; they’ll hail you nonstop. But when it feels like you’re no more giving them the same vibe you were giving initially, just like Osimhen’s case now; they’ll start making you look like shit.
“It doesn’t make sense. Normal human beings do it. When you do good to people, support them to an extent but when the support is coming as before, they either run you down or cut you off or make it look like pipeline isn’t releasing oil anymore so, we’ll need to bail out.
“Or they don’t appreciate the little you because you don’t have as much energy as you used to.
“After everything Victor Osimhen did for Napoli…Napoli in over 30 to 33 years that could not….after everything he did, because he missed penalty, didn’t score one or two goals after two matches; they made him look less.
“The same way person that helps, support you in one way or the way, when he or she can no longer do those things, you look at the person and say they have run down. There’s nothing here anymore.
The 41-year-old event compere and MC wrapped up his speech only after cursing at people who display such trait.
He added: “Human beings! In fact your father! If you’re one of such people, your father! Ingrates!!”
Usbebe’s post caption read: “Ungrateful people behave like Napoli… Never forget the good deed offered you before E RED….@victorosimhen9 no vex.”
