I'd say the player whose style most resembles mine would be Neymar. That's because I played with a sense of joy and you can see that he feels the same and really enjoys his own play. He doesn't play for himself or just to entertain the fans - he plays for his team. He uses his quality and skill for the good of the team.

Ronaldo is a fantastic player, one of the best I've ever seen, but he's been a bit unfortunate to be of the same generation as Messi. Consequently, they have to share the limelight.

It's not easy to break into an Arsenal team from youth.

Winning the Carling Cup would be the ultimate for me.

I should have got a medal at Neunkirchen, my first club in Germany.

When I was in Paris I was at a big club in a major city, but nobody really cared about each other. It didn't have that family feeling, I didn't see any team spirit.

I've wanted to be a part of the Premiership for some time, to experience the excitement and the atmosphere.

People wonder why I chose to come to Bolton. There's a different pressure and mentality here to PSG, where we were expected to challenge at the top every year, but look at our squad - quality throughout.

Traditionally it's been difficult for Africans to play over here, mainly because the African calendar is very different to that in Europe. Most of the coaches over here can't accept that we have to go back home to play at the Nations' Cup for a month while the season is still on over here. That made people reluctant to sign Africans.

My Nigerian colleagues gave me a good impression of the Premiership and I am glad to be here.

I experienced life in a struggling team at Eintracht Frankfurt, but I was still young then and didn't understand what it meant to be relegated.

My advantage is my skill so I have to use it.

Nobody likes it when people dribble past them, me included, but I can't tackle.

For me, there is no limit to success.

You have every right to set yourselves targets and whether you achieve it or not is entirely a different matter but at least you have to be ambitious and set yourself challenging goals.

When you don't spend or invest in the future, you can't always get away with it.

You can't play football without having a good training pitch.

I've invested in pitches and continue to run clinics to help encourage others to do the same.

Everybody wants to play in the Premiership and I like a big challenge.

I am an instance of what is possible with a lot of hard work.

If you work hard, dedicated to what you are doing, and you are disciplined, you will succeed in the end.

I came out of a background of want, but today I give glory to God.

I don't walk around with a bible or preach to people and I don't want to disturb my team-mates on match days by praying in the dressing room, so I do that at the hotel before I leave. I respect their way of life and do not insist that my way is best. I have not tried to convert anybody.

In football, everything can change.

It is always nice to play for the bigger teams, contesting titles and Champions League rather than relegation.

I believe an African team will one day win the World Cup, and it could even be in Brazil.

My first World Cup appearance remains fresh in my memory and what made it incredible was that I had made my first appearance for Nigeria just a year before.

Sometimes having the best players is not enough to win the Champions League.

For me racism doesn't belong to football and it doesn't belong in our society any more.

It is a very physical league but if I can play in the Premiership then I won't have any problems playing in the Championship.

I don't have to think about other players. I'm more concerned with my own game and how I can influence things on the field with my ability.

To be honest, I can live anywhere.

The life was good in Qatar but I did not enjoy the football. For me, 12 months was enough. The standard was low, but not that low. It was OK but the ambition was not there from the players. It was like playing for nothing. I didn't like that feeling.

As kids, we were used to playing football with anything that we managed to kick and whenever we got a ball, it was a bonus.

There were very few TV sets when I grew up... We could not see matches and did not know too many players. Only Pele was a household name and he was the one most children idolised.

I played in Qatar only because I had a great offer and I am not ashamed to accept. We played in empty stadiums! I realised what a mistake I made and decided to leave the club immediately.

People just don't want to pay to see players diving around.

I can proudly say that I had no scandal throughout my career. And there was no serious injury worries because of what I was taught how to live off the pitch. It was very important.

Playing in the German Bundesliga gave me the platform to excel in my football career.

If I had the opportunity, I will ask every Nigerian kid to start his career in Germany. The structure they have in the Bundesliga is far from what is obtainable in other leagues.

The Bundesliga is the league that made me, and it changed my life.

I was gifted with the ball, and I saw the opportunity of playing in the Bundesliga as the tool I needed to make a name for myself.

I got to Germany without being scouted, and without any experience of playing for my country. But I was given the chance to excel.

If you score goals late on it's not the sign of a lucky team, it's the sign of a fit team who are close together and fight for each other.

Stars don't necessarily make a good team and that is what we must learn.

I am proud of the part I have played in the development of Bolton.

I love playing and I'll do everything to be a first-team regular.

I don't want to stay on the bench all the time.

When you want something desperately and you lose it, no matter how hard you try to get yourself motivated, it's always difficult.

It's always nice to be among the best teams but not everyone can do that.
