My Joining Ratels Is Beyond Football... Onome

My joining Naija Ratels is beyond playing football. It's about inspiring young upcoming female players from the grassroots to  thank and believe that if they dare like I did, they can make history like I did in a climate where a woman have to do twice as much work to achieve success. 

I strongly think my story won't be complete if I don't accomplish the goal of giving back to the Nigerian league, which nurtured me to stardom. 

When I was very younger, I never had the opportunity to see or train with great legends like Florence Omagbemi and others who were my idols back then. Today, I'm a legend, making it in life as a Footballer in one of the most difficult climate any girl could possibly hope to ply a trade like football. I believe my joining Naija Ratels FC, with very young sets of players, is the best way to share my story of success and inspire female youngsters across Nigeria and Africa. 

I believe if I retire now like a lot of critics have suggested, without first impacting the Nigeria Women Football ecosystem, I would have failed a nation that gave me an opportunity to become a legend and through which I made history. My goal is to continue to promote women's football at all levels and inspire grassroots female players to aspire to me better than me and my colleagues. 

With Naija Ratels FC, I'll continue to shine the light as a source  and be a source of encouragement and beacon of hope to other players
