In 2005 we (River Angels) played a cup match against one of the teams from Equatorial Guinea. It just happened very well in this match because I scored three goals. Immediately afterwards, there was a proposal to perform with the national team of this country. I have not thought for a long time, because in Nigeria, it is often necessary to have connections to play on the national team
