We understand you are currently playing pro- basketball in Turkey, why would you like to play for Nigeria national team?

It's always a thing of pride to play in the National colours of one's country, and I have been playing with Americans and Europeans my whole life, I'd like to get a shot at the Nigerian basketball experience.

Have you seen the Nigerian National team play? What can you bring into the
team?

I unfortunately have not had a chance to watch the team play. But I did
get to play against National players like Macdabene and Udoka this last season in Turkey and was impressed. I'd love to get a chance at playing with the both of them in Tigress team.[photo]Izidor01[/photo]

I'm a 6'0" 3 guard with both perimeter and inside experience. I've played every position from the 1 to the 4 so I can handle the ball in transition, shoot from the outside as well as make srong post moves and rebound.

What would say are your greatest assets as a player?

I am tall but quick, so I can drive to the basket and finish because I am
stronger and bigger than most wings.

You played in Greece before moving to Turkey, Which clubs did you play for in Greece?

Megas Alexandros, I played this last season for Erdermirspor in Turkey, and I also played for Olivais in Portugal in 2004

What did you study at Stanford?

I studied architecture and urban design there.

Do you plan to return to it, after your pro career in Basketball?

I will either pursue a career in architecture or in woodworking. I've
recently got back into the hobby of mine, and love making wooden furniture.
