Nigerians draw parallels with JJ
Iwobi is famously related to the retired great Nigerian number 10, JJ Okocha, as he is the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder’s nephew.
While Iwobi's energetic box-to-box play style is nothing like Okocha's flair-filled offering, the Fulham midfielder’s recent off-field activities reminded Nigerians of his uncle.
30 years ago, before Iwobi was even born, Okocha released a record in which he rapped. The title of the track released in 1994 was “I am JJ,” and after Iwobi’s release, Nigerians reached for the classic track and reminisced.
