Speaking in an interview with Legit.ng, the retired footballer reflected on his illustrious career, highlighting his decision to leave Enyimba for Dolphins in 2003 as the best career decision he made during his active footballing days.

Then an offer came from Dolphins with better pay, and I was able to help Dolphins win the league and the FA Cup in the same season. I was rewarded with a car and a cash prize for my effort.”
Ezeji eventually opted to leave Dolphins for Club Africain in 2007. The combative attacker played for several other clubs before calling time on his career in 2015.
