Well paved and enhanced with flowers, a peep into the compound revealed some exotic automobiles like Chrysler, G-Wagon Benz and Range Rover neatly tucked inside a car port. 

 

Said to have been completed years ago, the footballer who currently plays for Bursaspor F.C allegedly bought over the property that was there before for about N30 million and then renovated it to suit his taste; extracting this and including that along the line.

 

In fact, nearly all the things used were said to have been imported from France.  A simple but sophisticated house, an estate valuer put the current cost at over N100m. 

Easy going and generous, neighbors say he jogs or cycles anytime he’s in town. “The guy is not arrogant. Anytime he’s around, he mixes well with people. He also assists his siblings, because whenever he’s in town, you see them trooping in and coming out with smiles on their faces. Three of his blood relations, two guys and a girl, live in the house and also take care of it."
