Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has recounted her journey from street hawking to international football glory during a church testimony in Ogun State.
Ajibade, who led Nigeria to its record 10th WAFCON title in Morocco, spoke on Saturday at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries’ monthly ‘Power Must Change Hands’ programme.
She told the congregation she once sold olive oil, kunu, and zobo drinks around the church premises during deliverance services as a young girl.
Now a professional footballer with Atletico Madrid, Ajibade said her rise is the result of prayer, hard work, and persistence.
She urged the audience not to give up in the face of challenges, stressing the importance of faith and determination.
Ajibade’s appearance drew cheers as she credited her faith for helping her through tough moments in her club and national team career.
