Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President Amaju Pinnick has hinted that Odion Ighalo could return to the Super Eagles.

Pinnick made this known in a long post on his official Instagram page.

Ighalo retired from the Eagles after helping the team to a third-place finish at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt, where he emerged top scorer with five goals.

The 32-year-old has been in impressive form for Saudi Arabian top-flight side, netting eight goals in nine league games so far this season.

Pinnick discuss the hangout he and his family had at Wilfred Ndidi’s home in Leicester with Kelechi Iheanacho later ing them.

He also revealed that he paid a visit to the Injured Oghenekaro Etebo and Ademola Lookman’s readiness to play for Nigeria.

“l spent quality time with Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho in Leicester over the weekend. I went with my wife and 3 of my kids who are on half term break. Our visit was a mere family visit and not official. Recall Wilfred is recuperating from an injury that has kept him out for about 5 weeks, being a very key player for the Super Eagles, we cannot afford to toy with our last 2 games. Ndidi has been integral, committed and ionate member of the Super Eagles.

The good news is that his second scan came out very good so he start training with his club and possibly play in their next game. His wife, Dinma was a wonderful host, their little daughter, adorable. Kelechi ed us almost immediately and made us to laugh till we left.

“Thanks to Wilfred & Kelechi, my family truly appreciate you. also paid a visit to Oghenekaro Etebo, in Warri, we call him Afaras’. He is also recuperating very well but definitely cannot make the next two World Cup qualifiers, Nations Cup might also be a doubt, importantly he should heal 100% by His Grace and re the Team. His family was quite warm and pleasant. We had quality time together and understood every language uttered as 2 proud Warri ‘boys’. He is in a great spirit with the right mental state of mind.

“I spoke extensively with Alex lwobi, who cannot wait to feature in those all important games. Ademola Lookman is excited about fighting for a shirt in the Super Eagles. He loves Nigeria. By His Grace we shall conclude the switch very soon.

I had a long conversation with Odion lghalo, personally i believe we need experience in our attack to combine with our energically youthful
Osimhen, Onuachu, Kelechi et al.

“Odion body language is very positive. We are also in touch with his agents and club. The vibe going into these last 2 games and indeed AFCON is very good.

Ighalo should rest
The coach should be having problems picking from the array of prolific stickers already at his disposal. We are not in need of retired strikers at the moment,

Senior man Kels this your outfit sha.
No wonder bros Amaju say u make them laugh all through

A person who is strongly attracted to someone’s intelligence is called a “sapiosexual.”

Kelechi Iheanacho

Iheanacho no just get joy

This country is full of jokes. Just have data, you are good to go. How can you retire and still come back? What is the meaning of retirement please?

This news has just made me rich

Please let's move forward with Osimhen and the others. Ighalo should not come back. I like him a lot but, we have top players hitting form at the right time. Like Manchester United, Nigeria NEEDS A NEW MANAGER.

The Super Eagles no need ighalo again

T That was his profession before football came to the rescue...once upon a time, iheanacho was tapping the palm tree at his father's backyard, all was moving well when suddenly the keg high up the tree loses its grip and came crashing down...

Iheanacho who was already on ground sensed what was about to happen, immediately raced to the foot of the tree in a record speed to chest, dribble and finally saved the palm wine keg from breaking into pieces... Iheanacho's father who was watching everything from his room's window view was marveled and well pleased. He dropped the Cutlass which he wanted to use in chasing iheanacho out of his house had that keg be broken.
His mother too was well pleased went to head to fix a plate of Akpu and ora soup(where his strength comes from) for iheanacho

His siblings who watched in awe shouted in a loud voice "Iheanacho one day you go make us proud!"

Y'all know that's what he's brilliantly doing today!

So kindly leave him alone with his palm wine tappers uniform

Please pay a visit to Mikel.
Super Chickens have no midfield.

Ighalo to do what exactly?

Iheanacho looks so much like Ibrahim chatta in these pictures

Do palm wine tappers in your village dress like that? Or are you just looking to be funny?
