The four-time African Women’s Footballer of the Year initially paid tributes to her late step-mother on her Instagram page: “I still find it difficult to accept but this is my reality Allahu Allah. Mummy, I’m so short of words right now…
“I’ve heard lots of it has happened, it has happened, there is nothing you can do to bring her back, you are a strong girl… I just cannot process these lines, mummy, you are not gone; it is not possible.”
“I’ll still chase every damn dream for you, mummy. May Allah accept your return, eliminate your grave and forgive your shortcomings and make us reunite in Janah Firdaus. Amen.”
