It will be recalled the forward announced his international retirement after Nigeria’s campaign at the AFCON 2019.
At the time Ighalo’s decision left many disappointed and there has been efforts by the NFF leadership and the Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr, to reconsider his position.
Several fans were left bewildered at the message and wanted clarification:
I no understand o. Are you joining the team again ni?
