It's good to make huge amount of money early in life so that you can retire early and enjoy your wealth with long life

Even though he misfired a lot playing for Super Eagles, he still has age on his side.

I'll advise him to go for coaching training, if he has the mental fortitude to be a coach.

He didn't really make so much money. I doubt if he will have close to a billion naira or 2 billion

He had to wait for Enyimba FC to embarrass him by owing him salaries and the following social media gbasgbos that followed.

Enjoy your retirement in peace

One can fake his or her age, but one can’t fake his or her body because when old age is approaching, your body will let you know that it can’t take it anymore and that it is time for you to retire.

Ronaldo de Lima retired at 32.
Marco Van Basten retired at 28.
Kaka retired at 35.

You are correct, I can confirm to you that he finished secondary school in 2000 (he was my senior at OSS, Tolu).

36yrs means he finished high school at 11
