Anytime you leave something you've done and where you've been for nearly a decade, it's going to be different.

When it's football time, that's where I am - the studying, the working, the practicing, everything.

You walk into a room and there's already judgment. You know, like football players can't act or you're going to come in and be stiff.

After 11 seasons, I retired from football. Four months later I was in Ghana shooting 'Beasts of No Nation' as an executive producer.

When I was a kid, I thought good acting was fascinating, and I could tell the difference. I could see that at like 9 years old.

I'm grateful for all the teams that I've played for, the fans, the organizations, the front offices, the list goes on and on.

As a player, you're not really in control of your destiny and the way you make a living.

It can be a bit sententious in the Nigerian household, to the point where you feel like with any wrong step you've set yourself back so far. It's like everything has to be done right.

Oh man, you miss it so much when you finish playing, especially when you play for most of your life. You miss just being a part of a team and being a part of the guys. So I definitely think producing brought that back for me. A bunch of people working together for a common goal.

I know so many people who've been through situations where they've gone from one career to another and have had such a tough time because they didn't have any support doing it.
