The title, Ugo Egbema “The Pride of Egbema Kingdom”, was conferred on Nwabali following his impressive performance at the AFCON 2023 African in Cote D’Ivoire.

Nwabali was drafted just weeks before the commencement of the tournament following poor performance by Francis Uzoho.

Following his impressive performance in Côte d’Ivoire, there have been talks about a move to Europe for Nwabali.

Also, South Africa’s league giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates have been linked with the shot stopper.
