Ighalo made his debut under the tutelage of Daniel Amokachi in 2015 and later played his first competition with the senior team at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. He received a lot of negative vibes and criticism from football fans during the Eagles 2018 world cup campaign for missed chances and performing below expectations.
In another related post, the former Changchun Yatai top scorer has also shared advice on his page “Hold your head high.ignore the mockers. stick your chest out.you can make it. It gets dark sometimes but morning comes…”
Ighalo became the first player to be both the AFCON Qualifiers Top Scorer (with 7 goals) and AFCON Top Scorer (with 5 goals) at the 2019 African football showpiece and has said “When your heart is pure and true, God has a way of making sure everything works out in your favour…”
