Gbenga Arokoyo is one of the most humble top celebrity from Okunland who lives a quiet and private life. He is that kind person you walk past and you may take him for just a normal young guy on the street as his humility makes him lives a normal life like anyone ,he is not one of those celebrity who show you class .
Gbenga Arokoyo (born 1 November 1992) is a Nigerian footballer who plays for American club Portland Timbers as a defender.
Arokoyo was signed by Kwara United from Kwara Football Academy in 2010. During his time at the club he was selected for the Nigeria national under-20 football team.
In early 2012 a delegation from Swedish club Mjällby AIF travelled to see him on location in Nigeria and in February they officially signed him.
In April 2013 an Allsvenskan game against Djurgårdens IF was suspended after Arokoyo got "hit" by a pear thrown by a Djurgården supporter.
On Aug. 2, 2016, the Portland Timbers (Oregon, USA) announced that they had signed Arokoyo.
He played in one game for the Timbers and one game for their second team, Portland Timbers 2, in 2016. During training before the 2017 season, he suffered an Achilles tendon tear, missing the subsequent season.
In his youth Arokoyo wanted to become a doctor but since his family could not afford to pay for the education he instead chose to become a professional footballer.
