Ighalo had vowed to give back to society if he eventually became successful and now the striker has kept to his words.

“Life was tough growing up in Ajegunle and I vowed that if I eventually had a breakthrough, I’ll give back to the society that made me.

“Life’s challenges were hard enough even with both parents at my side.

“It goes without saying that orphans have it even worse and it gladdens my heart that life has offered me this rare privilege to be guiding light in their life.”

Ighalo who left Nigeria when he was just 17, revealed his orphanage will accept children and take proper care of them in academic studies and sports until they turn 18.

The orphanage currently houses boys and girls totaling close to 40 children in separate apartments and the striker disclosed he still has more to give to his community.
