It was Cosmos who actually told Crystal Palace about me. Palace came to have a look, liked what they saw, and they took it from there.
I have always believed in myself. As a footballer, it is essential to have that belief.
You've got to keep on going up and down the wing for the whole game in that wing-back role, so you obviously need a lot of stamina to do that, and I think I've got that.
As long as you work hard, the manager will see it, and he'll give you an opportunity.
When I play against a winger, because I'm a winger myself, I understand what they are going to do before they try and go past me, so it makes it a lot easier for me.
I really admire Zinedine Zidane and Frank Lampard. They are really skilful, and I like the way they shoot from distance.
Chelsea is one of the biggest football clubs in the world.
They watch the Premier League everywhere in Africa.
It's a massive thing to win the African Nations. It will go down in history. It was my first tournament with Nigeria, and winning it was a bonus for me; it was a good experience for me.
I'd like to put on record my sincere thanks to everyone at Wigan Athletic for the tremendous support they showed me during my time there.
I had a good time at Liverpool. They were great lads. The manager had his reasons to keep me on the bench, and at the same time, they were on a good run.
I just want to keep improving in every game.
I started playing for a team called Cosmos in the Tandridge League before I went for a two-week trial with Palace. They must have liked what they saw.
It is good for a manager to believe in the ability that you've got and give you the confidence to go out and enjoy your football.
That's always been on my mind - to play games.
It's tough, as Chelsea's a very special place for me, and I've always had a great relationship with the fans, but it became very obvious that I was not in the manager's plans. I have achieved great things there, but I just needed to play football, and that's why I got the move to Fenerbahce.
As a footballer, if you work hard, then everything else falls into place.
My ambition is to contribute my quota to the overall success of the team.
As a young boy in a new country, you had to make new friends, and that was really difficult.
When I started going to school, I started getting used to things, like the language. After that, I started adapting to school, friends, and everything. It was really difficult, to start with, but I survived.
