I am called a legend, and people see me as one, but because of that, I don't think I should have to hide at home and only go on holidays, drink champagne, and watch TV. I am somebody that wants to impact onto people's lives.

We've had people like Marc Vivien-Foe die while playing. There have been too many others, including Cheick Tiote. The clubs and the federations have to be serious about giving checkups to the players.

A talented footballer comes over, his family depends on him, and if his agent or club don't treat him well, he might not succeed, and then he feels he's let everyone down. For years, African players have been exploited.

When good things are coming, there are always some people who haven't been doing good who will try and stop it. But if you believe in what you are doing and are strong enough, then you achieve it. People know who I am and what I have done.

I think you need people who can advise you; that is more important that an agent. They are important because they help players move, but I have some experience of agents working with players who have done things not to help the player but to help themselves.

I was born in Owerri and grew up in the east of Nigeria, in Imo state. You could say I was a 'street boy': we grew up on the street, played on the street, did everything out on the street. It was a difficult life altogether, but that's how we grew up.
