You are rooting for Atiku and Tinubu over young and qualified candidates but you want to crucify super eagles for calling back Odion Ighalo? What is the colour of your madness?

Nawa oh

Nigeria have one of the best crops of center forwards in the world, let alone Africa, and they’re asking a 32-year-old Odion Ighalo to come out of retirement instead of giving chances to younger options like Terem Moffi or Taiwo Awoniyi. Words fail me.

I believe Ighalo was forced on Rhor by the NFF president

So many misguided takes about Odion Ighalo's return to the Super Eagles.

It was 100% Gernot Rohr's call. He confirmed it on Elegbete's programme too. Nobody forced Ighalo on the German, he wants Ighalo to come and win another AFCON Golden Boot and lead us to another World Cup.

It is a big joke, anyone trying to defend Ighalo's return. The coach somewhat seems to be getting his priorities right atm, but you throw in a figure from the past whose inclusion even though it worked was frustrating, coupled with a love-hate relationship from fans.

Why?

So let me get this straight only players in football right now who have scored more goals than Taiwo Awoniyi is Lewa, Haaland, Benzema and Salah.

So Nigeria drops Taiwo Awoniyi who plays in the Bundesliga and calls up Odion Ighalo who plays in Saudi pic.twitter.com/4L46NEHs8h
