According to him, he took the crazy decision to leave Nigeria after buying into the advice of an American scout that it would be more beneficial for him to be a basketballer in the US.

True to the man's words, Okonkwo said he eventually played pro basketball in America.

Okonkwo further narrated that he started a family and has now set his mind on a startup business.

His post read in part:

"8years ago today I was crazy enough to say Goodbye to my home, friends and family in Nigeria to move to the USA. Scared as fu*ck didn’t know what to expect and didn’t have a family in America.

"I was crazy enough to trust an American scout that convinced me a 6ft7 165Lbs soccer Kid that I was better off playing college basketball in America and if I worked hard enough might play pro basketball. I guess he was right that experiment worked out. I played pro ball , started my own family, and definitely not 165Lbs anymore."
