Odion Ighalo, a former Super Eagles striker, has hit out at Nigerians over their comments on social media, after Victor Osimhen failed to seal a move away from Napoli.
Osimhen has been frozen out at the Serie A club following the collapse of transfer talks with Chelsea. The situation led to mixed reactions from fans on the Internet, with many criticizing the player and his entourage.
But Ighalo wrote on X on Sunday morning: “No human being is perfect and we have all made mistakes in life. “But seeing comments about this young man from his own country people makes me really sad, without even knowing what happened. “I spoke to him and I can feel the pain in his voice, the way he’s been treated, this young man play with heart and pains for his country. “Hmmm it’s well, he will definitely be back stronger, we learn everyday in life. Happy New Month to y’all.” No human being is perfect and we have all made mistakes in life, but seeing comments about this young man from his own country people makes me really sad, without even knowing what happened, I spoke to him and I can feel the pain in his voice, the way he’s been treated, this… pic.twitter.com/P1J3yTpKx8 — Odion Jude Ighalo (@ighalojude) September 1, 2024

As the summer window opens, clubs are scrambling for Osimhen’s signature.
The Turkish champions are already believed to have received several big-money approaches from Europe.
A Saudi Arabian club has now entered the race to sign the Super Eagles talisman with a similar offer.
According to Turkish transfer insider, Serhan Türk, Galatasaray now have two different €120m offers on the table to consider; one from a European club and another from Saudi Arabia.

Frank Lampard has signed a new deal with Coventry that is set to keep him with the Premier League side until 2029, it was announced Tuesday.
Lampard was in charge as the Sky Blues to English football’s top-flight for the first time in 25 years by winning last season’s second-tier Championship.
The 48-year-old former England midfielder took over at the Midlands club in November 2024 and helped them to a play-off finish in his first season in charge before losing out to Sunderland in the semi-finals.
“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract, it’s a real honour to represent this club,” said Lampard, already looking forward to the challenge of Premier League football.
Lampard, previously in charge of Chelsea, Everton and Derby, added: “After the incredible work of everybody to get promoted and win the Championship, it was important to enjoy the moment, and we certainly did as a city.
“Our job then as staff, and for the players of course, is to firstly recharge but also focus on what we want to do and what we need to for next season. There’s a lot of work to do on and off the pitch as a football club, so those things have been ongoing.
“I’m looking forward to getting back with the players, to see them all and get ready for the new season.”
Coventry have a tough start to their Premier League return, with Lampard’s team away to champions Arsenal on August 21.
Cote d’Ivoire legend, Didier Drogba, has slammed the Video Assistant Referee, VAR, after his country was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup.
The Elephants were beaten 2-1 by Norway in their Round of 32 clash on Tuesday night.
Antonio Nusa opened the scoring in the first half, before Amad Diallo levelled for the Ivorians.
But Erling Haaland tapped home the winner late in the game, to send Norway through.
After the game, Drogba took to his X page, to question why Nicolas Pepe didn’t get a penalty for a foul in the area.
“Disgraceful that penalty not given for Nicolas Pépé… what is VAR even for?” Drogba wrote.
Norway will now play Brazil in the last 16 of the tournament.
