Ferdinand is no stranger to Nigeria.
During his first visit in 2008, he met the traditional ruler of Lagos, King Rilwan Akiolu and was bestowed with the title of “Chief Fiwagboye”.
During the ceremony at his palace in Lagos, King Akiolu told the former England defender that Fiwagboye literally means “character maketh wealth.”
“To be honest, I was a little embarrassed to be named a Chief, I’m not sure I’m worthy but it is something to be proud of really,” Ferdinand said at the time.
Ferdinand enjoyed an illustrious playing career.
Among other honours, he clinched six Premier League titles, a Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup apiece.
