Early career

Born in Ajegunle, in Nigeria's capital city Lagos to parents from Benue State, Itodo began playing football as a young child through local football clubs and academies.

He scored on his debut with the club, in a 1–1 draw against Flamurtari on the opening day of the season.[5] He would go on to score 19 goals in 33 games for Luzi 2008 and become the league's top goalscorer, but his side were eventually relegated after finishing in penultimate place.[6]
