The news as it trends

Before the roar of stadium crowds and the shimmer of international trophies, Rasheedat Ajibade’s life was grounded in humble hustle.

Born in Lagos, she spent her early years hawking olive oil, kunu, and zobo drinks during deliverance programmes at Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), where her mother raised her in a faith-driven household.

Ajibade wasn’t just selling beverages—she was cultivating endurance.

Long hours under the sun, weaving through church crowds with trays in hand, helped shape the tenacity she now brings to the football pitch.

She credits those early days for the discipline that drives her today.

Speaking on Saturday at the August edition of the “Power Must Change Hands” programme held at MFM’s Prayer City in Ogun State, Ajibade reflected on her roots:

“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.”

She urged young people never to give up on their dreams:

“Please, don’t give up. Keep praying, keep fasting, keep working, and keep believing.”

Ajibade’s story is not just about football—it’s a testament to faith, hustle, and unwavering belief in something bigger than circumstance.
