Jay-Jay grew up playing street football in a town called Enugu in southern Nigeria before a lucky break led him to his first club in the lower divisions of the Bundesliga in Germany.
Since then, he has played in three World Cup finals, has twice been crowned the BBC African Footballer of the Year and his favourite food is Bovril.
