After Nigeria Beats Guinea 1-0 in the ongoing AFCON Competition in Egypt some Nigerians including former Eagles star NwanKwo Kanu blamed Odion Ighalo for Being selfish during the game.

Ighalo was in the opponent's box and had a chance to score, Ahmed Musa was beside him almost free, many people believed he had better chance of scoring the ball, but Ighalo refused to give Musa and fire the shot off target.

Many Nigerian reacted to the incident online. Someone wrote you are lucky we won the game if not...

Former Nigeria International, Nwankwo Kanu also blames the player.
Kanu said .“We are more relaxed now after the win over Guinea to advance to the next round, ”

“We had few chances to score more goals in the first half when Odion Ighalo had a good chance to pass the ball to Musa but he did not do so. Guinea are no pushovers but we took our chances.”

LMAO @ "only God forgives; we don't".

He wants to shine

Critically looking at that scene, I don't think it's fair to say he was completely selfish.
I think he was in two minds there, trying to trick the goalkeeper into thinking he would pass to Musa. The keeper seemed close to the ball, so it would be easy for him to prevent the ball from getting to Musa if Ighalo had made the pass.
That's why I feel he wasn't necessarily being selfish. Perhaps, he was out of excuses at the moment or didn't know how to explain his misdeeds, that's why he claimed he didn't see Musa in the other end. I'm pretty sure he did Lol.

Na them sabi

The thing weak me o

Ighalo maybe have been selfish but currently Nigeria do not have a better striker than him.


So

He is just a man with one eye in a city of the blind, king good replacement for this chinko made

When Musa questioned him he claimed he didn't look up but everyone knows that's a big lie

And musa wasted a counter by passing to him

Is Selfish dey Nigerian Player.... Everybody want to Score and get name.

Where is Kanu's comment

that's how you can differentiate a professional from a rookie. and that's a display of a rookie being selfish

That was too wrong of Ighalo. He should be careful not to get the Rashidi Yekini treatment. Football is a team sport and not a solo game. That pics alone speaks volume. Don't try this next time!

he shld have passed d ball bt he is a striker, all d think when inside opponents 18yard box is SHOOT

Ighalo tried not to be selfish next time. We forgive you

You can’t be a good striker if you are not selfish

Nonsense player

no way the keeper could have prevented the ball from reaching Musa. Even the defenders closing in would not have gotten the ball. Ighalo was just being selfish.

It may not be intentional. Some poor players don't know their environment. That's why good players know who is around them and what they want to do with the ball before receiving it. If after the miss, Ighalo discover Musa was free like the lame leg he should have apologized.

The guy selfish pass Epe market women.

I don't kuku like the stupid Ighalo before... but where is the replacement None
This is exactly what I said yesterday too, that monter looking head is selfish....
Forget abt tricking the keep, he's too far from doing that, he immediately claimed he didn't notice Ahmed Musa was their, soooo u blind ?
