According to tv360Nigeria, Amara confessed that being around Kanu brought an unexpected level of publicity, which initially overwhelmed her.
Despite Kanu's hectic football schedule, she said she never dwelled on negative emotions and felt at peace with his philosophy.
As a result of her husband’s career, Amara became an avid football fan, particularly of the English Premier League, since Kanu played for Arsenal.
She humorously noted that she also took on the role of consoling her husband whenever his team faced defeat. She said via Punch:
“I began to understand what it meant to miss matches and cheered him up. I was forced to learn fast that every game had a consequence, a price and a goal at the end of the day.
"I never had an idea that marrying my husband would thrust me into the limelight I wasn’t ready for. I was not a football fan and don’t have no idea about the English Premier League but today, I am a huge fan.
“My husband is a kind man with a big heart. He shows me compassion through his actions and he doesn’t say too much.
