Odion Ighalo's Dilemma: Would He Chose Shanghai Shenhua's Amazing £400,000 Offer, or Stay in Manchester United For Half The Money.

When Odion Ighalo's Manchester United's loan deal ends on the 30th June, 2020, would he make his deal permanent or go back to his parent club?




Playing at the Theatre of Dreams has always been a dream for Odion Ighalo.



Right now, as a player in the Theatre of Dreams, he is living his dreams.


 
I wouldn't want this sleep cut short into a nap.
That is what Shanghai Shenhua (his parent club) is about to do with his new offer.
Ighalo is being offered a new deal worth 400,000 pounds per week.



The thirty-year old took a pay cut in order to play in Manchester United; a club he supported as a child. He agreed a 40% wage reduction from his £300,000 a week. 
Let us do the maths:
40% of £300,000 = £120,000. 
Thus, £300,000 - £120,000 = £180,000.


 
The Nigerian International earns £180,000 weekly at United. Such a price we pay for our happiness. 



The sun isn't going up for Ighalo's career as a professional footballer (Except he is Zlatan Ibrahimovic). These are the factors he will consider at the end of his loan deal.



Manchester United, as it seems, is considering to place an offer that will see Ighalo signed on a permanent basis. This is dependent on his performance this season.



However, the COVID-19 outbreak has proven to be an inhibiting factor to Ighalo's playing time.




He has to consider fighting for a starting position against the likes of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, and the likes. Also, Shanghai Shenhua's £400,000 a week deal is mouthwatering and tempting at the same time.



Would Odion Ighalo be saying NO to £400,000 and a guaranteed starting position?
Would he ignore China's Mega Money this time around to chase his dreams at the Theatre of Dreams?

Analysis of "Come Away my Love" by Joseph Kariuki

According to Chinua Achebe, as stated in the Author’s biography, “Come Away my Love” is a love poem. It is a love poem about the trials and tribulation of a love affair between a black man from Kenya and a white woman from England. Analogously, it is about the embodiment of altercations experienced in an inter-racial relationship. That is, this will be the same issue encountered by an Asian espoused to a European/American, or an Indian alongside an African. Being a love poem, the title of the poem gives a hint about the typical lovers’ activities. They come away from the public eyes into a secret/romantic environment where there love, affection and energy can be optimally consummated. However, another meaning can be derived from this title. The meaning that can be derived is that the persona is asking his lover to rendezvous at a secret location away from the society that has proven counterproductive towards their love. The society has been an inhibiting factor for their love be...

Critical Analysis of "Vanity" by Birago Diop.

VANITY (Analysis) Vanity is Birago Diop’s way of expressing the frustrations of Africans after colonization. During, and after, colonization, eurocentrism was rampant. Eurocentrism  is the act of accepting and digesting the European culture hook sink and liner while neglecting one’s (local) culture and tradition. The contact with the French and British made many Africans neglect their tradition and culture in order to dress, speak and appear like the Europeans. Colonialism further contributed to this issue because the European education, government and mode of education became what was required in the administration. These are the issues that if the poet persona should start to narrate, who will hear them without first laughing at them? If we tell, gently gently All that we shall one day have                          to tell Who then will hear our voices            ...

A Critical Analysis of "A Sandal on the Head" by Kwesi Brew

A SANDAL ON THE HEAD (Analysis) This poem has the lyrical characteristics of African orality. It is not written in the regular English poet’s literal form of writing. Kwesi Brew employed the use of proverbs and African adage to paint the poem with beautiful and colourful imagery. The features are metaphors embedded with African proverbs. Examples of these imagery are evident in: The broken cannot be made whole! The strong had sheltered in their strength The swift had sought life in their speed, The crippled and the tired heaped out of the way These statements are more than witty statements. Moreover, what this excerpt also mean is that things are seemingly not going the proper way. Perhaps the economy or political structure is defunct. The broken cannot be made whole will mean that things have been destroyed beyond reparation. That things have totally fallen apart. As a result of this hardship, only the strong, favoured, fortunate and opportune are able to endur...
