She expressed that becoming a lawyer had always been her true passion, not playing football professionally, as it was never part of her original plan.

The five-time African Women’s Footballer of the Year said, “I never wanted to play football professionally. It was never in my plan.
“So I wanted to be a lawyer, for real. That was my dream. I wanted to be a lawyer. You know, I love to make research. I love to question people. I love to make excuses for people. And all of that, you know.
