“Grateful to be African Women’s Player of the year for the 4th time. Thank God, my Family, Friends and Fans for the support. Big shoutout to my club , my management , team mates at both national team and club level and of course thanks to CAF for the opportunity.”

“4 times baby!!! Sometimes you forget to smell the roses along the way in life. I’m always the type thinking about my next move and never really stop and celebrate the things in between. This is such an amazing accomplishment and I’m happy. But there’s still work to do,” the African football queen tweeted.

The Super Falcons star beat the duo of Cameroon’s Ajara Nchout and South Africa’s Thembi Kgatlana to reclaim the award she last won two years ago.
