Super Falcons captain, Asisat Oshoala, has announced the death of her mother whom she fondly referred to as “mummy”.
“Had two mothers, now I’m left with just one,” the player also wrote on her Instagram status on Sunday night..
The Barcelona Ladies player said in a video posted on her 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.”
In an emotion-laden tone, 26-year-old Oshoala promised the deceased that she would chase all dreams for her.
“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,” the footballer said amid tears.
