Mathematical7

I am Segun. Friends and family call me Big Seg, Seg being the short form for Segun. The ‘big’ comes from Allan Hawks, my former British football coach in Shooting Stars Football Club of Ibadan, who used it to differentiate between two other Seguns and I in the team at that time. My 6ft 1-inch frame qualified me as the biggest of the lot. So, Big Seg it has been since then.

I am also very well known as ‘Mr. Mathematical’. Many years ago, a radio commentator, Earnest Okonkwo, in is commentaries, gave me that sobriquet. Whether he was referring to the precision of my movement and passing or to my background as a Mechanical Engineer only he knows. That nickname also stuck and all those familiar with African football in the 1970s and 1980s will recall Mr Mathematical in my famous number 7 shirt!

I invite all to come into my world. To me life is a blessing, it is beautiful and is an unscripted drama. Welcome to that world of limitless possibilities, the world of Mathematical 7.
