Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has shared her inspiring rise from modest beginnings to becoming a continental football champion, recounting how she once sold items like Olive oil and local drinks like Kunu and Zobo within church grounds before gaining prominence in the sport.
Ajibade gave the testimony on Saturday during the August edition of the Power Must Change Hands programme at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries' MFM Prayer City in Ogun State.
The Atletico Madrid forward, who captained Nigeria to its 10th Women's Africa Cup of Nations WAFCON title in Morocco, spoke candidly about her past experiences and spiritual discipline that have shaped her journey.
She said in part, "Whenever things are tough at my club or with the national team, I pray. I do my part through hard work but never forget to seek God's help."
Reflecting on her early days, she added, "I was once one of those young girls out there hawking Olive oil, Kunu and Zobo drinks in most of the deliverance programmes, but today, I give glory to God.
