He added that he is pleased to be disproving his doubters.
He said, “For me, more than a 100%, more like a 1001%, because I set a standard for myself, the kind of life I want to live, and even when things weren’t going so well for me, I kept on believing, dreaming, praying, and working hard, doing all kinds of jobs before I went back to my real love, football.
“To get to where I am now, there were many challenges along the way. There is a lot of affection, but also a lot of hate. I credit a lot of love, pain, tears, and failures for my success.
“Many people thought I wouldn’t survive two years and didn’t think I could make it.
“You can either accept what they have said as true or you can show them to be completely wrong. God is so good that I was able to disprove them.
“I’m currently playing for one of the top clubs in Europe, I’ve won numerous personal awards, all of which I consider to be major accomplishments for me given that I’ve faced numerous potentially fatal circumstances before bouncing back and doing well for myself.
