Former Super Eagles’ star, Victor Ikpeba has thumbed up Odion Ighalo following his new found form with the national team.
Ikpeba said: “Football is full of ups and downs, nobody could have predicted Ighalo to score a hat trick and score in Tunisia. For me, it is very good for him.
“I think Ighalo deserves all commendation and should be encouraged to do more instead of castigating the player. He is a greater player and can only get better.”
