7 September 2012. Personal life Ashikodi was born in Lagos, Nigeria and moved to London. After leaving professional football, Ashikodi began working as a wellbeing personal trainer in Twickenham. He has resented his "bad boy" jibes after the knife incident that lead to his departure from Millwall. Speaking to the York Press in 2011, he said:"People mistake me for something I'm not because of one incident when I was 15. That was a very long time ago and I've never been in trouble like that since. I've had a few arguments with players but no big issues. People don't know what happened back then at Millwall but don't seem to want to let it go. They should ask me if they want to find out the truth. I was being bullied at the time and it did not damage my career because I went on to join West Ham."
