“It’s been a long time coming trying to get answers but I’m so grateful to now be at this stage

“To my @NGSuper_Falcons teammates and nigerian fans… thank you for your patience and understanding when I’ve not been able to be with you. I can honestly say I have fought as hard and for as long as I can with this pain. I can’t wait to be back healthy with you all

“My club – @ittiladiesclub.
I’m so grateful to be surrounded by some really great humans at this club. Thank you, all of you, for helping me through and supporting me every step of the way

“Back soon ✌‍♀️.”
