Onyekachi said he decided to move to Pirates in other to showcase his talent outside Nigeria.

“Football is the same thing all over the world. It’s just that the conditions are better here than in Nigeria.” Okonkwo said.

“Here they have better organisation, better pitches and of course you will enjoy the game.”

“At the time I left Enyimba, I had won the league title twice and the African Super Cup and I really needed a new challenge apart from the fact that the conditions were going to be better at Pirates.”

He told nigeriasports.com that his next step will be Europe after his contract with Pirates is over.

He regretted the loss of the South African Premier League title on the last day of the season though adding that the only consolation was that they would play Champions League football next season.

“We had a wide lead at some stage in the league, I think up to fifteen points clear but we got careless and later started losing home and away and unfortunately lost the title on the last day to Kaiser Chiefs.
