Throughout his career, the Nigerian has been committed a series of transgressions, including pushing the referee in 2003[28] slapping a different referee while with Mohammedan in 2008 for "asking uncomfortable questions",[29] and breaching contract regulations by exchanging teams mid-season despite signing a one-year contract with Mohammedan in 2007.[30]

His baby, Juliette, died in 2005, the same year she was born.[31] With his Irish girlfriend Barbara, the striker took the educational responsibility of an orphan girl, who was then four years old.[32]
