Former Super Eagles forward, Osaze Odemwingie has revealed that it was not an easy task for him to transition into golf.

“I am someone who has a goal. I gave it a good shot. It was hard. 

“People quit this degree in year two; many boys can’t cope with the volume [of study].” It was hard.

“But my Nigerian spirit helped me persevere through the year two when there was a lot to do study-wise,” he said.

Odemwingie announced his retirement from football at the age of 37.

The former West Bromwich striker, who made his Super Eagles debut in 2002, scored 11 international goals in 65 matches for his national team.
