International career

As a Nigerian, Nwokolo does not have any record that he has been capped in any match for both junior or senior for the Nigeria National Football Team. In early 2010, Nwokolo was rumoured that he will soon play for the Indonesia national football team, though this rumour wasn't confirmed by Nwokolo himself, what is interesting is that he didn't confirm nor deny the rumour. After many speculations, in August 2011 Football Association of Indonesia finally confirmed that Nwokolo has been naturalised, and got Indonesian citizenship officially on 10 October 2011.
