Iheanacho Inspires #ForTheIgboCulture

Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who plays for Premier League football side Leicester City, has been responsible for the phrase “for the Igbo culture” trending in the West African nation.

He used the tag line when he retweeted a photo of his football shirt – showing his name, which has tonal marks below the first and last letters, indicating how to pronounce them in Igbo – which is primarily spoken in south-east Nigeria.
