He is currently Nigeria’s second top scorer of all time and owns a Sports Academy, The International Academy, in his town, Wasimi where young, talented kids have an opportunity to learn sporting skills while they also get academic exercises.
Odegbami got his big break playing the IICC, now Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) in Ibadan and has been a Public Speaker of international repute and one of the Directors of Complete Communications Limited, owners of Complete Sports where he writes as a weekly columnist. He is also an active participant in a sports programme on NTA, “The Parliament” alongside seasoned sports journalist, Godwin Dudu-Orumen.
