Did your parents support your decision to play football?
I have no problems because my parents gave me full support to play football from the onset. Though some family members didn’t like it, since my parents gave their blessing, I went ahead and I was okay.
Can you give us a brief rundown of your career till date?
After I moved to Sunshine Stars, I played all the 2007 Africa U-17 qualifiers under late coach, Yemi Tella but I missed going to the World Cup because of my injury. I played under Ladan Bosso for the U-20 Nations Cup where we won bronze. I also played under Samson Siasia in the U-20 World Cup. We camped here in Abuja and played the Junior World Cup in Egypt. I have also played in Europe, specifically in Albania for Tueta FC. I was there from 2017 to 2018 on a year loan deal.

I was happy that I saved both penalties that gave us victory in South Korea. In life when you succeed in what you are doing, you feel fulfilled and that was exactly how I felt. I was very happy that day, and it remains one of the most memorable days of my life.
