How?

Boladogailese:
Wooow arsenal should sign my baby na

But why you go advise your country man to go and play for arsenal. Does arsenal has a champions League cup? Yes or no

The guy will have scored goals in the match if his teammates were not jealous of him. They refused to give him pass. Osimhen too dey endure this nonsense behaviour in gala. It's well. Congrats to him all the same.

Pootle:
watched the game he hit the post, he tried but not like he was the messiah

How e take help them?



Player wey bench wan finish, even for Scottish League

Iheanacho scored the winning goal in their previous match in the dying minutes, and without that crucial goal, Celtic would not have been top of the table today. Every important contribution counts in a title race.

You should apologize to dis guy for saying such

Pootle:
the fraudulent pk that the rep is currently under police protection, and back the kels he did nothing stop painting a colorful picture because his a nigerian

Drogba in his best seasons scored 11,,6,5,5 and 4 league goals so KEL scoring 11 goals including decisive goals against Hibernian and Motherwell is more than enough.

person when score 5 goals in 11 Appearances 0 assist help who win league?

Iheanacho scored the winning goal in their previous match in the dying minutes, and without that crucial goal, Celtic would not have been top of the table today. Every important contribution counts in a title race. if he didnt score that goal in the previous match, Celtic wouldnt have won the league.

Congrats to Iheanacho and Celtic

Naija girls done finish that guy football career.

Pootle:
hearts was robbed, the penalty given to celtic in their last game prove they didnt wan heart to win it

It was clear handball not to even talk about elbow

He lost his football shape and fitness, he should just retire

the Scottish FA didn't want them to win the league. They've been favouring Celtic since including their last match before today.

Probably you have not been following how things play in the Scottish league this season.
Without Iheanacho goal in their match before Today's match, (that's the penultimate match) Heart would have been the winners.

Signed on his way to the EMIRATES lol

He was a bench warmer throughout the season. Stop misleading people with such headline

With that ojoro penalty scored in the mid week

RollinTNDA:
Iheanacho helps Celtic win Scottish Premiership title

Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho has won the 2025/26 Scottish Premiership title with Celtics

He is no longer a Super Eagles player.
His game is no longer there.

Scored a couple of crucial goals in the run in but he wasn't a big thing at Celtic this season. Cannot see a new gaffer keeping him going forward next season when O'Neil steps down.

Brendan Rogers his former manager at Leicester City brought him to Celtic and he might as well find a place for him at Qadisiya in the SPL.

Boladogailese:

Apologies to that guy for advising him to go to a club that has not won any major trophy for about 30 years

How Iheanacho take help them? Did he score? Did he give an assist?

Na sub he be sef!

How did he help Celtic win the Scottish league — what was his goal contribution?

Let me ask Wenger first

Nigerians amaka

Kudos to him, but if my father sef dey Celtic FC, him for also win the league. Scottish league is mostly a 2 horse race (Ranger and Celtic), but most often times, than ever it's Celtic all the way.

What percentage of the revenue, jobs and other socioeconomic benefits of the celebrated victory is going to make Nigerian league as good as the Scottish and English leagues

Are you one of those who think that Europe is still responsible for all our problems of underdevelopment?

I want to sell a script to a Hollywood studio. The story is about a guy who owns a farm that constantly runs at a loss but never quite shuts down.

The farm is massive and underutilised, and the protagonist has all the opportunities in the world to improve its output and get a bumper harvest.

He has access to credit, machinery, free irrigation and gifts from neighbouring farmers, but all he ever does with these things is drink and smoke them away while his family suffers.

Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world

Apart from drinking, smoking and generally being utterly useless, his other pastime is to pump out children at an industrial rate. Needless to say, he takes no care of his children whatsoever, and many of them fail to survive childhood.

Those who do survive have to leave the farm and hire themselves out as hired labour to the neighbouring farmers, having picked up some survival skills from home.

With time, a number of them rise through the ranks and become senior managers, directors and even shareholders in these other farms while their father continues mismanaging his farm.

When good news about some of these successful children gets home, their father is filled with pride and joy, but when they end up on the wrong side of life, he acts as if he never knew them.

The successful ones make efforts to revamp their childhood home by sending back money and volunteering their skills and time, but all this guy ever wants to do is be a 62-year-old underachieving idiot carried through life by charity and luck.

Famzing” diaspora success is dishonest
I’m sure before the end of the second paragraph, you figured out whose story I was telling. The 62-year story of post-independence Nigeria — which the Hollywood studio would surely reject for being too sad with no redemption — is that of our fictional antihero.

Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world.

Remember how everyone from corporate brands to Abike Dabiri made a big song and dance about supporting Anthony Joshua the “Nigerian,” whose only chance to become someone in life came when his parents emigrated from Nigeria?

Remember how things turned when he somehow lost against that chubby Mexican dude whose name I can’t remember? Remember when the Super Falcons won the female AFCON title and received a congratulatory tweet from the president, only for them to have to stage a protest before being paid their camp allowances?

That’s what we do in Nigeria. We try to live vicariously through the achievements of people who have achieved great things under their own steam, simply because said people happen to be called ‘Ifeoma,’ ‘Efe’ and ‘Ayotunde.’

Even when Nigeria had absolutely nothing to do with said success, or in fact happened in spite of Nigeria, as with Divine Oduduru, we bask in the reflected glory of their personal achievements.

Sometimes when those people wear a Nigerian flag or post something about Wizkid or Jollof Rice on Instagram, we go crazy with the Nigerian flag emojis because oh my god, they identify with us!

This is not about being a Killjoy
Somehow, the complete failure of Nigeria and our complicity in its failure is more bearable when we point at Nigerian immigrants doing great things in life and say “I knew Femi before he started calling himself Anthony.

His father and I were classmates in Aiyetoro.” It is unclear how exactly this helps our situation but hey, it’s also unclear how chugging the amount of alcohol we do helps either.

Escapism is a key part of our culture, and anyone who dissents must be a non-Jollof-eating, vegetarian heretic, and possibly also an atheist.

Now while all this is painfully cringey to my eyes, some will also point out that Nigeria is not the only country that has a weird obsession with its diaspora population.

Even ‘first-world’ countries like Ireland continue to have deep emotional and economic connections to their diaspora, and in any case Nigerians proudly supporting Anthony Joshua or the NBA’s Giannis Ante…African-sounding-name is basically harmless fun. They’re not hurting anyone. Why be such a killjoy, David?

The reason this matters can be found in a quote that has been dubiously attributed to Russian President Vladmir Putin, where he describes Africa as the place where its diaspora does not invest in, but returns to only to die and be buried with their ancestors.

While there is no concrete evidence that Mr. Putin ever actually made that comment, the truth in it is painfully poignant.

For diaspora success to be meaningful to Nigeria, it must correlate to on-ground results in Nigeria. The example of Somalia shows that having a well-educated, globally successful diaspora while being an absolute basket case are both possible at the same time.

I’d imagine we do not aspire to be Somalia.

U no like arsenal. Senior Man Kelz is washed. Can't compete at the highest level in Europe top five league

Chai. Just 11 minutes to glory oo. Big clubs too wicked. They'll never allow all these smaller clubs breathe

they bottled the league. Last month they topped the league with 7 points only to bottle it

robosky02:
Kelechi Iheanacho has become only the second Nigerian international to win the Scottish Premiership with Celtic

The other is former Super Eagles defender Efe Ambrose in Celtic history

Awwwh Efe Ambrose attends my church, such a lovely man with a beautiful family.
