Career

A native of Benin City, Obanor is a product of the BJ Foundation Academy.[1] He was loaned out at the start of the 2012-2013 season to the second-tier side COD United F.C..[2] Mid-2013, he was loaned on to top-tier side Bendel Insurance.,[3] playing a season there before being sub-loaned to Abia Warriors F.C. until November 2015.[4] In January 2016, Obanor signed a 3.5-year long contract with the Tunisian greats Club Africain, but had to cancel it and return to Nigeria because of dubious transfer fee reasons.[5] In April 2016, he was loaned on by BJ Academy to MFM F.C..[6]

Obanor moved abroad, however, already in July 2017, signing for SpVgg Greuther Fürth in Germany,[7] joining the team in September of the same year, following the 2016 Summer Olympics.[8] However, he didn't break into the team, and found himself unable to get any playing time, his nationality preventing him from playing for the reserves.[9] His contract was finally rescinded in the summer of 2018, and he moved to NK Rudeš in Croatia.[10]

International career

Obanor is a member of the Nigeria national football team.[11] He was selected by Nigeria for their 35-man provisional squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[12]
