“When I’m done I would make that decision myself, nobody is going to talk me into retirement or make me stop playing,” the Super Falcons leader said to Brila FM.
“It’s the game I love, it’s the game I enjoy so when I’m done when I’m satisfied that I can no longer play I will call it a day, nobody can make me retire when I’m not ready.“
