Super Falcons midfielder Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene has pinned her success in the national team to talent and not because she has a godfather.
The Eskilstuna United player said this on Saturday evening during an Instagram live chat with Channels TV.
While counseling players in the age-grade level, the former Delta Queens star urged them to work hard and not depend on anyone.
According to her, it is her talent and hard work that got her to the level she is.
She noted that hard work and talent cannot be hidden and will always be rewarded in due time.
Recalling how she began her football career, Okobi-Okeoghene admitted “It wasn’t an easy race for me”.
“I started very well. My talent spoke for me, not because I had a godfather or sports father or somebody there that actually helped; it was my talent that spoke for me and I worked really hard to earn this opportunity that I have,” she insisted.
She, therefore, called on players in the age-grade level not to hang their hopes on anyone.
The player said: “I will pass a message to them: stop hoping on anyone… your talent will speak for you.
“That’s one thing that has actually taken me from one point to another until I got here today.” (Channels TV)
