In a recent YouTube upload by The Undisputed Buffs, Chidozie Nwankwo was asked by a Buffs fan how tough was the decision for him to leave home for football as a girl dad. The 21-year-old DT replied, “It was tough. The overall decision was really tough for me. I’m young. I’m just 21.” But even as young as Nwankwo is, he has a maturity in him enabling him to see the bigger picture in the long run. 

Although Nwankwo’s love for his little angel is apparent in his social media posts, his decision to join the football team can be seen as a present sacrifice to have a secure future. He added, “Because at the end of the day, I’m making sure my life is secure and my daughter’s life is secure for when she gets older.” After all, a parent’s got to do what a parent’s got to do!
