With the money thing it is mad. As a young kid earning so much, having a house and driving a nice car it is nice but it is something I keep level-headed about. ”

I have had it all over the years, being told I'm not good enough. So whenever the chance comes I always try and prove I should be starting. ”

I see my uncle as an idol, someone I have always looked up to as a footballer. ”

I've always seen myself as a midfielder but wherever I'm being told to play in the middle or somewhere, I will always give my best. ”

It's an honour to be an Ambassador for DStv. Their passion for promoting sports is unrivalled across Africa. ”

I love attacking, but I hate defending and it's something I need to add to my game. ”

The love Nigeria showed me... when I played for them in a friendly, the fans were just crazy. The fans almost eat you up because they love you so much. ”

Life is really good. ”

If I make a mistake I try to use it as a lesson and try to improve on it. ”
