Maybe in his days as a player…

He is retired now remember? So he is an ex player.
Maybe you are trying to ask a different question though and it didn’t come out right.

Ighalo is the richest active Nigerian player.

Ahmed Musa follows.

Osimhen started earning above 100k two seasons back, in which he pays almost half in tax (he earns performance related bonuses too)

Ighalo
Ahmed musa
Emenike
Ideye
Victor moses e.t.c
These guys I listed above are veterans earns alot in leagues that allows them to pay little or no tax.(Saudi, China, Russia turkey)

You can see the magnitude of charity Ahmed Musa has been doing lately.

The money ighalo earned in the last 3-4 years is more than what Osimhen has earned in his whole career.

NB : before someone will just come and say Osimhen can feed my generation, I'm not hating on anyone, just make clarity.

Okay…

Do all these players you mentioned still play actively for their clubs? ( Apart from musa)

You are right though… musa is probably richer. The rest I do not know their whereabouts!
