Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Onyekachi Okonkwo has reportedly ventured into the property business in Nigeria, where he is now involved in real estate through his company, Nino10 Group of Companies.

The former footballer, popularly known as “Tico” during his playing career, recently shared a video on his official social media account advertising a luxury property he is offering for sale in Lagos.

In the video, Okonkwo showcased a fully detached, three-storey duplex featuring five bedrooms. The property is reportedly located in Ikota, Lekki, an area of Lagos known for its residential developments.

The 44-year-old former midfielder disclosed in the accompanying caption that the asking price is ₦700 million, equivalent to approximately R8.5 million.

Okonkwo was born in Aba, Nigeria, and previously played for South African football club Orlando Pirates, where he featured as a central midfielder. His nickname, “Tico”, became associated with him during his time in football.

His latest property advertisement has drawn attention to his activities away from the pitch, particularly his reported involvement in Nigeria's real estate sector.

However, the advertised asking price does not establish the final value of the property or whether a buyer has already been secured. There is also no information confirming how much the former footballer currently earns from his business compared with his earnings during his professional playing career.

The development has prompted renewed interest in Okonkwo's life after football, with discussions likely to focus on his transition from professional sport into business.

For former Orlando Pirates supporters, his property venture also provides an opportunity to remember his contribution to the club and discuss where he ranks among the midfielders who have represented the Buccaneers.
