After a professional soccer career that lasted 18 years, Peter Odemwingie could have happily sat back and reminisced about a journey that saw him play in the top flight in Belgium, France, Russia and England.
He could have dined out on tales of his exploits for Nigeria, from helping them win an Olympic silver medal in Beijing Olympics to scoring the winner against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Brazil in 2014, giving the Super Eagles their first win at a FIFA World Cup since 1998.
