I Have Been Paying My Tithe Consistently Since 2005 – Odion Jude Ighalo [Video]

Nigerian footballer, Odion Jude Ighalo has revealed that he has been faithfully paying his tithe since 2005, when he earned his first salary as a professional player.

Speaking in an interview with Rasheedat Ajibade on “Ash Christ TV”, Odion Ighalo reflected on his early days, recalling how he earned just N15,000 as his first paycheck.

The footballer credited his pastor’s teachings on tithing for instilling in him the habit of giving.

“My first salary was in 2005 as a footballer. It was N15,000 and because my pastor taught me about tithing, I have been paying until today. I haven’t missed paying tithe,” he shared.

Ighalo admitted that, over the years, he has battled inner doubts and negative thoughts trying to dissuade him from giving, but he remained committed to his belief.

He said, “If you can be faithful with little, you will be faithful with any amount that comes your way.”
