Talking about racism in an interview with Sky Sports, Odion Ighalo, who extended his loan with Manchester United, took a stand.

Several times victims of racist insults when he was in China, the Nigerian warns. He will stop playing and will leave the field in the event of a new incident.

“If this happens to me, I will report it to the referee. And see what he does. But if he does not react accordingly, I will go away from the field. Because it should not be done to any player. Nor to anyone in the world, “he said in remarks relayed by Foot Mercato before recounting one of his experiences on Chinese soil.

“During a match in China, a player called me all kinds of names and after the match I did not shake his hand. I went straight into the locker room. I was angry, I reported the problem to the federation. I didn’t insist. I just gave up because I’m that kind of guy. I don’t like dragging out problems, “said Ighalo.

And to give his point of view on racism.

“I think racism should not be tolerated in any country. No one should tolerate racism. We are all human. Despite the color of our skin. We are all the same, we live in the same world, the same life… We have to start from the younger generation, educate them, make them see that all humans are the same… fight for humanity and not for colors. “
