“The loss of Mama is hard to bear. She is a rock that stood by me and all my siblings. She showed us equal love and affection, and always prayed for each and every one of us.

“Her support and prayers for me right from the beginning of my playing career till the end were invaluable. Her guidance also went a very long way into moulding me into the man I am today. She taught me to love, and to give. I will miss her, but God knows best,” he said.

Mama Kanu had the rare privilege of raising three sons, who played professional football. Aside the Olympic gold medal winning legend Nwankwo, her eldest son, Godwin played for Bendel United and her last son, Ogbonna played for Ajax Amsterdam, among other clubs.
