“Sure, I would choose a career in football time and above music but both give me much pleasure,” he told The Nation Sport & Style in a recent interview.

“Though they are two different things, football and music are things that make me happy.

“If I’m not playing football, music would have been an automatic choice. Being a professional footballer is like doing me a favour because this is something I enjoy doing naturally.

“I have the same feeling about music; it is something that I derive pleasure in. All my time in Jos, you either find me on the pitch playing football or I’m in the church playing music; so it was all part of my growing up.”

He narrated that his love for music started as a choirboy in Jos but was rekindled during his days with Pastor T.B Joshua when he was playing for the preacher’s own People’s FC.

“I was an instrumentalist in Jos long before I met Pastor T.B Joshua,” he emphasised.

“Just like I play music, I can play football and I think those are two special talents God gave to me and I was really good at it.

“So when I met Pastor T.B Joshua, he encouraged me to be an instrumentalist in the church and I do play with the choir. Working in the church is a privilege for me to serve God.”
