Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade delivered a heartfelt testimony on Saturday at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries’ Prayer City in Ogun State, where she reflected on her rise from humble beginnings to continental triumph.
Ajibade, who played a pivotal role in securing Nigeria’s record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title in Morocco, was in attendance for the August edition of the church’s renowned monthly programme, Power Must Change Hands.

Addressing the congregation, the Atletico Madrid forward shared deeply personal moments from her past. She recalled how she once sold olive oil, kunu, and zobo around the church grounds during various deliverance services before her emergence as a top-flight footballer.
“Whenever things are tough at my club or with the national team, I pray,” she said.“I do my part through hard work but never forget to seek God’s help.”
She continued, “I was once one of those young girls out there hawking olive oil, kunu, and zobo drinks in most of the deliverance programmes, but today, I give glory to God.
“Ajibade concluded her message with words of encouragement for the youth and aspiring athletes: “Please, don’t give up, keep praying, keep fasting, keep working and keep believing.”
