Kanu may be older than his official age but to claim he is over 40 may be an exaggeration.

Born August 1, 1976, in Owerri, Imo State, Kanu is the third of four children. His father worked with the Imo State Ministry of Works while his mother is a businesswoman. They were strict Presbyterians who inculcated in their children the best of Christian values. All his siblings, apart from the first child, a girl, are professional football players. The youngest brother, Christopher Ogbonna Kanu, cut his footballing teeth with Iwuanyanwu Comets. He has played for the Flying Eagles and Super Eagles. Ogbonna is currently with Ajax Amsterdam's junior team in Holland. Godwin, the first son, was Uche Okechukwu's defensive partner in Iwuayanwu Nationale of Owerri, Imo State in the mid 80s. Kanu's love for the game was inspired in those days by seeing his big brother appearing in Nationale's colours. His love and passion for excellence at the game, blossomed at Holy Ghost College, Owerri, in 1990. The school, popularly called 'Arugo,' was renowned for having a strong football pedigree in the state. In no time, Kanu was an integral part of the school team. At the same time, he was playing for the Ministry of Works Football Team where his father was working.

A 1991 product of Holy Ghost College Owerri, all who saw Kanu horn his talent at Uzzi Primary School pitch and Township Stadium Owerri predicted he had a great future ahead but not many envisaged he would have all these laurels dangling on his fragile neck. On one occasion, a pair of boots was getting tighter on the rapidly growing Kanu and he could not afford a new pair. He tore the edge and while his toes sprawled out, he took to the pitch. Such was his passion for the beautiful game. So, from the single-rooms structure in Amakohia crept out a special one who has put smiles on the faces of football-crazy Nigerians. He was the tallest among his generation of Eagles and his stature really loomed large in accomplishments.

The average Naija Secondary school leaver is about 17-18 (without repeating classes) and that will put Kanu plausibly 36.

You must be joking.  grin grin grin

That is the figure for the middle and upper class kids back in those days.

For lower class kids it was more like 20-23 and in the deep rural areas of the north, you are talking of 22-32.

You need to see the Malos that attended my secondary school, bleep me, they were fathers.  grin grin grin

Kanu should be over 22 when he finished Secondary school and Julius should be like 40 now

A Police inspector for that matter.

Like when Ikpebas wife died at 36 years while Ikpeba was 27 and had 3 kids

@ All Rumour mongers!

Aghahowa was never a police sergeant, he only played for Police Machnine FC of Benin. He may probably be older than he claims just like most Nigeria footballers with a standard deviation of +/- 5 years.

Interview with Aghahowa: African Soccer magazine No.54 April 2000 pp 28-31


African Soccer: You were said to have joined the Nigerian police force, is this true?


Julius Aghahowa: No, that's not true. What actually happened was that, before joining Insurance FC, I played briefly for the Police Machine team. When I moved to Insurance, the fans, not knowing my name, started to call me a policeman. that was all it was. I was never a cop.





If Kanu was even 22, in 1991 the claims of 45, 50 are just jokes. grin grin grin

smile4kenn:

If your Uncle is 47 now, then he was born in 1962 and if he graduated alongside Kanu from Holy Ghost College Owerri in 1991 he would have been 29 years old then! certainly old enough to be Kanu's Uncle too grin grin grin

@smile4kenn,
kanu and other nigerian footballers are liars but u and uncle are horrible in the game of lies. kanu did not attend school in heaven rather in owerri so 1991 is the yr so tell us how a 47 yrs old uncle liar of urs finished secondary school in 1991. was ur uncle into adult education then?

@topic,
why are we surprised with what the players are doing to survive? read carefully what most of us are writing here and u will accept the fact that if 99% of us have the same opportunities, we will do more terrible things. judging by the rate of corruption in nigeria, footballers are part of the holiest people u can find in nigeria. with their lies, they are part of the few good ppl u can think of in nigeria including all of us here calling for their heads.

nigeria and nigerians have the anointing to do evil in all areas of life.

we must learn to overlook this kind of thing because we are more guilty than they are.
