Nigeria international Odion Ighalo has become the latest to join the Unavailable challenge started by pop star Davido following the release of his song ‘Unavailable’.
The song is arguably the most loved from Davido’s fourth studio album Timeless released on March 31, 2023 through Davido Music Worldwide, Columbia Records, and Sony Music Entertainment. Primarily an amapiano record, the 17-track album explores other musical styles such as Afrobeat, Dancehall, Ragga, Konto, Highlife and Afropop.
Ighalo shared a video on his Instagram page on Tuesday night showing him and some men doing the Unavailable challenge.
He said, “Me and my boys are unavailable for stress and wahala. We are only available for enjoyment.” Then he asked his followers to decide who won the dance challenge.
Ighalo got hundreds of comments in reaction to the video. Among those who reacted were Napoli forward Victor Osimhen, Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, fitness coach Amara Kanu, wife of ex-footballer Nwankwo Kanu; and entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest.
Ighalo, 33, won the Saudi Arabia King’s Cup with Al Hilal last season. His team however could not retain their championship in the Saudi Pro League, finishing third behind Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr and eventual winners Al-Ittihad.
