Where are you presently?
I spoke with some few clubs in the off season because I am a free agent. I was meant to sign for Portsmouth but I also got clubs in Turkey and Greece during the off season.
Why is it that you haven’t been able to play for the big clubs despite your high rating?
People that know me very well know that injury has not been my friend but I am back strong again and playing. The main thing is about my staying fit; if I do, I can play for the best club in the world. Hopefully I will get a good club and get a good career going again. Honestly, injuries have not been good to me.
How do you feel being left out of the national team by coach Stephen Keshi?
I have not really got the chance to prove myself now but when I came, I did pretty well. The present coach has not given me the chance to play but I am not bitter. I am going to wait for my time. Hopefully, now that I am fit to start playing, I just hope to get a club and show the stuff I am made of. The few times I have come to Nigeria, I have proved that I can hold my ground, my shirt. Hopefully, sooner than later, I will be back in the team again.
How do you see the preference for youth in the national team by the present coach?
It’s so funny. I was born in London and I hold a British passport. I have played in Warri despite being born in London. It’s up to you to call me an experienced player or a youth. I have done very well for myself as a young player. If it’s about age, I carry a British passport and you know what that means.
Players like Gabby Agbonlahor dumped Nigeria for England but the likes of you and Victor Anichebe prefer your fatherland. Why?
I am kind of different from Victor Anichebe and Gabby Agbonlahor because I was born in London but I go to Warri quite often. So I am a Warri boy. I had the chance to play for England but it was not a question because I am a typical Nigerian. The only difference is that I carry a British passport. So, I am different from a player like Agbonlahor, who was born in England and grew up in England, never coming to Nigeria. But I came to Warri when I was just four years old and stayed for a while. They tried to make me play for England some years ago when I was playing for Reading but it wasn’t something I had to think about; I am a Nigerian and will always be.
