15 Million Euros (17.6 Million Dollars)
Twice was a top talent from Nigeria who acquired Turkish citizenship while playing for Fenerbahçe between 1996 and '98. He enthralled fans all over the world with his dribbling ability. He's one of those players who played the beautiful game like it ought to be. Named as one of the top 125 living footballers by Pelé in 2004, he was the Golden Boy of Nigerian football. His performances for his home country, Nigeria, stand out from his club achievements. He never got to play for a top European Club of the time, but the fans still loved him. His net worth from football is estimated to be around 15 Million Euros.

Iconic Moments
Dance with Me Oliver
Eintracht Frankfurt fans witnessed one of the greatest sporting moments in the history of their club that day. After receiving the ball inside the box, Twice found Kahn charging at him. Instead of panicking, he coolly dribbled his way around the keeper, beat his markers, and shot at the goal. (Image: imgur.com)
Twice is Ace
The ball found the back of the net, and Mr. Kahn was left embarrassed by a tiny man from Nigeria. How dare he? Did he not know that it was the mighty Kahn in goal for Karlsruher SC? The audacity of this guy to score the goal of the year in the Bundesliga. This is unacceptable. (Image: imgur.com)
Let's Launder
He had to live up to the Nigerian stereotype, didn't he? A Scottish court charged him in an alleged money laundering case. He was allegedly involved with a gang of six others who indulged in malpractice. The legend made no plea and was granted bail. He's also being pursued in Nigeria for alleged tax evasion. We have learned that he has also failed to appear in court. It comes at a time when he's had his post-playing career sorted and was focusing on his leadership role within the NFF. This could seriously damage his chances if proven. With the idea of jail time also in the picture, it'd be best if he treats this with caution. (Image: imgur.com)

Okocha Son - Ajay
Ajay is still counting numbers with his hand. Looks like he isn't going to pursue football then. (Image: imgur.com)
Okocha Car - What does he drive?
Maserati
It's like the Maserati is giving him the stink eye for that all-blue ensemble. He likes big engines, doesn't he? A true Nigerian, indeed. (Image: imgur.com)
House - Where does he live?
Location:
Given his legal troubles, it's highly unlikely that he's in Nigeria or the UK. The decor of the house looks tribal in some ways. (Image: imgur.com)
