“I was smallish back then in 2013 when I participated in the World Cup with the U17 National team. I later went to Aspire Academy where I learned a lot. My looks and body build changed when I started using the
Gym and was working out seriously. If a lot of people see my picture back then they won’t even talk about my age, but I don’t really bother because they don’t know me,” Uzoho said.
