It had to be somebody who, when you look at his work, his upbringing, he also fits into the Nigerian story coming from a humble home and getting a scholarship to study. One thing he was good at was playing rugby, his size and you look at the Nigerian story where you find some awesome kids where they’re good at soccer, and that help them through school, all of that and through live.”
