Despite being raised in England, Super Eagles and Everton star, Alex Iwobi, says he is proud and happy of his Nigerian heritage.
Born in Lagos, Iwobi moved to England at the age of four and represented the country at youth categories. But the former Arsenal player opted to represent Nigeria at the senior national level. October is Black History Month and Iwobi, in an interview with Everton media, spoke about the beauty of the Nigerian culture.
“Every time I go back to Nigeria, I get that homely feeling,” Iwobi said.
- Iwobi ranked Premier League’s best passer
- I feel almost unstoppable – Iwobi
- Iwobi gets low rating against Newcastle
“I see the food, the dancing, you go out on the pitch, and everyone’s got their drums out and they’re singing.
“I grew up in England but still had the Nigerian culture. With Black History Month, it’s great people are acknowledging others’ roots and where people come from. It just shows that no matter where we are in the world, we are one.”
