Okocha reveals career secret

Former Super Eagles captain, Jay-Jay Okocha has discussed leaving Nigeria at an early age and said this helped his football career flourish.

After two years, Okocha moved to Eintracht Frankfurt, where he became famous for his wizard-like goal against legend, Oliver Kahn.
