Quotes

  • We are back as the giant of Africa.
  • Every coach has their style.
  • I always try to give my best and adapt to whatever pattern the coaches bring. With the experience I have, I try to help the younger players settle and excel.
  • Growing up in northern Nigeria is not that easy because they don’t believe that a girl child should play football. From my family, my parents were supportive, but my brothers didn’t want me to play. I was stubborn and didn’t listen.
  • Sometimes I would sneak out to play with boys and they would beat me when I returned. Eventually, they gave up and started supporting me.
  • I try to promote grassroots football in the North. I’m getting support from the state government, and it’s helping young girls who want to play professionally and pursue their dreams.
