Career

Vietnam

Inspiring Bình Định to overpower TDC Bình Dương 2-1 with a double late February 2011, [5] Obinna was injured and required a month of treatment before being able to compete that summer, [6] added to Tây Ninh mid-2012. [7]

Recalling his years in Vietnam, he claimed that a lot of his teammates were virulent racists and refused to train with their African counterparts. [4]

Malaysia

About to compromise on a deal with Kelantan FA early November 2014, [8] the transfer was cancelled by Air Force United at the last minute. [9]

Malta

Inspected by the Maltese Premier League's Tarxien Rainbows at the close of January 2015, [10] he settled on a six-month contract with them afterwards, [11] opening his goal account as they held Floriana 1-1, [12] hitting in a double to sink Żebbuġ Rangers. [13] However, the former U23 member did not renew his commitment to Tarxien that summer, receiving offers from different countries. [14]

Thailand

Waiting for six months to clear a visa problem with Pattaya United near the end of July 2013 [15] and missing the first half of the season, [16] the wideman hoped to escape relegation with the Dolphins [17] but they were still demoted. Committing to two years with Air Force United in 2014, [18] he parted with the Eagles that summer, [19] continuing to recover from an injury in Nigeria. [20]
