Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has shared her inspiring journey from humble beginnings to football stardom, revealing that she once hawked olive oil, kunu, and zobo at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Prayer City.
Ajibade made this revelation while giving her testimony at the MFM Prayer City, where she recounted her days as one of the young girls selling refreshments during church programs.
"I was one of those young girls hawking Olive oil, Kunu, and Zobo during deliverance programmes. But today, I give all the glory to God. Please, don't give up, keep praying, keep fasting, keep working, and keep believing," Ajibade testified.
The football star recently led Nigeria to a record-extending 10th Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title. Her exceptional performance during the tournament earned her the Player of the Match award in three consecutive matches, culminating in her being named the TotalEnergies WAFCON Woman of the Tournament.
Attributing her success to both hard work and divine intervention, Ajibade emphasized the importance of prayer in her career. "Whenever things are tough at my club or with the national team, I pray. I do my part through hard work, but I never forget to seek God's help," she said.
Her story serves as an inspiration to young Nigerian girls with dreams of making it big in sports and other fields, showing that with determination, hard work, and faith, one can rise from humble beginnings to international acclaim.
Following the WAFCON victory, Ajibade has been vocal about encouraging young Nigerian girls, assuring them that their time for success is coming if they remain dedicated to their goals.
