Published: January 15, 2013 
Now it is clear that he is leaving AFC United and quitting football. The former Nigeria international will continue as pastor of City Church in Stockholm.
''I have a new life now with the church. God told me to stop playing football and I know that he has a plan for me, this is an honor, '' says Ekong to Fotbollsbloggen UNT.
He went further: ''I have been involved as an evangelist for long and this is my calling. I have been on many courses and will work as a pastor. But it's not a job where you make money, I want to get people to serve God and feel better.''
Prince Ikpe Ekong will not leave football completely as he has plans to continue as a scout.
''Yes, in some way as a scout. I talk to many players and want to help so that they are better off. We'll see how it goes, ''he says to UNT.
