During his two-year stay in South Africa he was arguably one of the club's most influential players even scoring the decisive goal against his former club [[Enyimba]] to lead the Johannesburg-based club [[Orlando Pirates]] to the [[CAF Champions League 2006|2006 MTN CAF Champions League]] semifinals.. Okonkwo caused a stir in Europe by signing a pre-contract agreement with [[Germany|German]] side [[FC Köln]] only to leave the club a week later to sign a four-year deal at [[Switzerland|Swiss]] side [[FC Zürich]] saying that he had only ever agreed to a one-week trial at the German team. Despite FC Köln's sporting director Klaus Horstmann threatening to take the matter to [[FIFA]] in order for him to fulfil his obligations to his side, Okonkwo says he did not breach any rules in moving to [[Switzerland]]. He joined Qatari side [[Al Kharitiyath Sports Club|Al Kharitiyath]] in the summer of 2010.
