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...

JOSEPH KARIUKI

JOSEPH KARIUKI’S BIOGRAPHY. A lot of commentary is written on his existence on earth, but just a little was mentioned about his birth, death, Alma Matter and about his existence. The little that is known about him states that he is a Kenyan, born in Banana Hill. He is educated both in Kenya and abroad: at Makerere and Cambridge.  He is popular for his famous poem which is an ode to the former Kenyan president, Jomo Kenyatta.   However, nothing was said about his date of birth, parents, marriage, occupation and his childhood. Chinua Achebe’s comment about Kariuki goes thus: that he has met Joseph Kariuki through his poems, especially through his love poem “Come Away my Love”.  He opined that the poem is about the trials and tensions of an African in love with a white girl in Britain.
