Ighalo - I never miss paying tithe since 2005.

Prominent footballer Odion Jude Ighalo has revealed that he has been consistently paying his tithe since 2005, the year he received his first salary as a professional athlete.

In a recent discussion with Rasheedat Ajibade on Ash Christ TV, Ighalo reflected on his modest beginnings, noting that his first paycheck amounted to N15,000. He credited his pastor's teachings on tithing as the motivation behind his commitment to giving.

"My inaugural salary as a footballer was in 2005, and it was N15,000. Inspired by my pastor's lessons on tithing, I have continued to pay my tithe without fail," Ighalo stated.

He emphasized his determination to remain steadfast in his practice, despite encountering personal challenges and negative voices that attempted to dissuade him from fulfilling his tithing obligations.

"If you can be faithful with a small amount, you will be faithful with any sum that comes your way," he remarked.
