From Abia came a world record holder

On going after the Guinness World Records at a young age, Vincent stated that he made the move because he wanted to do something new. In his words:

"I did because I want to challenge myself and prove that anything in life is possible when you believe in yourself not minding your background."

Vincent's coach, Chukwuebuka Ezugha, spoke about how the young man was discovered in Abia state during the 2019 Chukwuebuka School Freestyle football training program. On his level of skill, the coach said:

"As at that time, he wasn't able to do anything with the football. We entrusted him under the supervision of Blessing Faith who made sure he perfect the training given to him at the academy."

Showing that he is considering other possibilities of success, Vincent said he is a mechanic, a footballer, and also going to school because he does not know which may strike gold in the future. He lamented his condition:

"No I wasn't celebrated by Nigerian aside from my team Chukwuebuka Freestyle Entertainment and Academy who made sure I felt special."
