always make sure I put in my best and when the going gets tough on the
pitch, that’s when I dig deep and bring out something I never knew was
there. We may be very few on the pitch of play but we realize that our
team actually comprises of 160 million Nigerian fans who always support
and cheer us on. Pepsi is a great brand and I am happy and honoured to
be associated with it”
