Now, would somebody whose with his right senses now tell me that this was as a result of a training fluke?? @INce, oh, i get it, he’s begining to perform beyond expectations, right? You were one of the people that wanted to hit soljeker below the belt for signing Ighalo. You never saw it coming, its hitting u guys like lightening that you are lost of words and then resort to lame, funny and stupid insinations just to belittle his achievements and progress. Shame on you! You guys aint seen nothing yet, all of u wicked folks out there whose bellies are turning like people wey chop beans wey spoil for 2days go confess with your mouth that he’s the best. Ask Garry Neville et al, they’ll tell u more. U can’t curse a blessed child, God will continue preparing a table for him in the presence of his enemies. Don’t try God.
