Congratulations there is time and season for everything.
One dimwit once said “Ighalo’s head does not attract trophies”. The dimwit knows himself, he should come out now and publicly apologize to the young man for his constant words of hate, denigration and attack on this young man.

Ighalo na baller a beg. Although I don’t always agree with you, but on Ighalo matter I give you thumbs up.
Heaven bless Ighalo and all deserving Super Eagles strikers.
CONGRATULATIONS SUPER EAGLES 7TH HIGHEST GOAL SCORER of all TIME!!!
God bless all genuine super eagle fans. Not those who hated Ighalo and Musa, not those who collobarated with Equavon, Dare, pinnick, omo9ja, jimmyball to force super eagles out of Afcon in round 16 and missing the most beautiful world cup at the moment.
They will say is Saudi Arabian league, but he is a champion and a highest goal scorer previously in Afcon and now in this league. He is a successful footballer in all ramification. Wishing you well Mr. Ighalo
@Marvellous, you are one of the few people who make me comment on Nigerian football. Ighalo is the best, leave story a beg.
All you Pathetic Ighalo haters, eat shit. Your faces will continually be covered in mud every time Ighalo soars. If hating was soap, you haters will never stop foaming in the mouth.

No DISREGARD for OSIHME (cos like you all know am one of HIS HUGE FAN), but I hope we don’t get to be looking for HIM in the FIELD by the time they pair NIGERIA to PLAY against COUNTRIES like SENEGAL, MALI, CAMERON, ALGERIA or even the HOST etc in NEXT YEAR’S AFCON in IVORY COAST?

Congratulations on your successful campaign in the Saudi league, but please even if you are invited to the super Eagles kindly refuse as that will show us that you truly love your country, we have players in Europe playing in more competitive leagues to take us to greater heights, don’t bring Saudi league level with you to our team please, but i trust our new trainers won’t even contemplate a player in Saudi Arabia if they want to succeed.
CHARLES can you ANSWER this simple QUESTION..
This year’s AFCON HIGHEST GOAL SCORER,(VINCENT ABOUBAKAR) what LEAGUE does HE PLAY in?
