In addition, Amara who recently celebrated her 30^th birthday is also an author and in May, launched a book on wellness called ‘Healthy Living with Amara’. Having coached women around the globe on achieving healthier lifestyles through exercise, nutrition and lifestyle choices, it became necessary for her to help others who may not readily have access to her to learn from her healthy lifestyle choices.

The football legend has never stopped thanking his wife, Amara for saving his life following a heart valve defect that threatened to cut short his career 21 years ago.  A routine medical check-up on Nwankwo in 1996 at Inter Milan revealed a serious defect before he underwent successful heart surgery.

The former Arsenal player who retired from football in 2012 revealed that his wife saved his life by forcing him to do a check-up after she discovered his disturbing heartbeat rate.
