This is literally the equivalent of someone on minimum wage giving roughly £10.
It is barely a gesture at all. Pathetic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure how you can put a 'price' on building an orphanage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
No idea, ask the construction company
Everyone rallying around to praise him.
Put it in perspective, it is the equivalent of someone on minimum wage giving around £10 per month if it costs him £5,000 a month.
I hope all the praise merchants on here will be away home to write some lovely words on Facebook about Brenda from the shop donating £10 to the local meals on wheels.
(*Brenda from the shop may be any other low paid, low skilled charity giver)

What a wack job way of looking at it.
5 grand is 5 grand, regardless...
I could give a charity my 'equivalent' £5 a month, but they're gonna do next to f all with it.
They can do a lot more with £5k a month, regardless of the respective wealth of the person giving it.
What a pathetic, lousy standpoint to debate from.
There is no dispute, orphanages are required and hopefully loads of children are given a better start because of it.
My issue is with the praise going to the player, he's basically going to give a tiny percentage of his pay packet away, not help in the construction or day to day running.
He should do more financially as should everyone in a situation where they have millions of pounds they don't need.
We don't praise *Brenda from the shop everytime she donates money but theres a rush to fangirl when its a footballer.

It's not about going to the poor areas and build an orphanage, the costs and resources to maintain takes a collassal amount of money and resources. That's why you need more reserve funds. Or constant donations.

An orphanage in Nigeria will cost about 5k a month to run.
from a man who makes around 800k a month, it's hardly a great gesture better than nothing but more should be expected from these people.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's more than most do, and it's incredibly unfair of you to expect more. Charity, by definition, is voluntary and should not be expected of anyone.

I think you’ve missed the point.
Whatever “praise” the guy gets, or his contribution is irrelevant.
He’s doing something productive which will hopefully benefit many kids.
I assume your hate and vitriol is also to be directed at the people on site linked below because they also do charitable work and get recognition for it.

It's totally subjective though.
I am in a position where if I wanted to I could give £500 a month comfortably.
However, I'd rather put half of that a month into the savings account I set up for my daughter, and the rest into my personal savings account for a rainy day or towards my retirement.
You can't presume to tell people what they should/shouldn't be giving to charity. That's some idealist hippy nonsense right there.
I'll just keep giving Unicef £18.60 a month out of guilt that my daughter lives a worry-free life, and I waste money on almond croissants.

I quick Google search shows Ighalo has done quite a bit for charity, throughout his career. The orphanage however the biggest project to date. Possibly because when he was at Watford he was earning much less.
As we are discussing this purely on financial terms, it’s probably worth pointing out we have no idea how much Ighalo has invested, nor committed to this project.
Whilst I’m no expert, I’d imagine an orphanage doesn’t pay for itself. The day to day costs of running the place. The various overheads. Then there’s the staff. Other than paying for the property, we have no idea what else he plans (or has pledged) to do.
So before suggesting he is in a “position to do much more and won't” maybe best firstly gaining an understanding of how much of commitment he’s made, or plans to make.

I get mugged off by Unicef for 18.60 a month, because a cute young lass knocked on my door with pictures of sick children...
I've thought about cancelling it a hundred times, but every time a do I think of my little girl and that stops me...
Well, that and guilt over the fact that I spend £100+ a month on a coffee and almond croissant from Cafe Nero every morning.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nout wrong with that my man, a coffee and an almond croissant is the best way to start the day.
Although I don't know what your doing in cafe Nero, the croissants from there are diabolical.
Somebody needs to tell Ighalo that he could save a fortune by just getting the children to build the orphanage.
Most infant school-aged children in Borno state, for example, don't go to school, so they are effectively unemployed. I'd have it built there. Once they've completed the build, the children could also run the orphanage, securing them continuing employment.
The savings Ighalo would make would allow him to stick to the rule 'charity begins at home', which for him is now China.
He could sponsor at least thirteen pandas with that much money.
Yeah encourage the child labour
