THIS IS WHY I STARTED. .
I am a product of a grassroots coach. Someone who showed up for me with no resources, no recognition, just pure belief that I could become something great.
And I did. By God’s grace, I play for @PSG_Feminines and I captain the Super Falcons of Nigeria.
But as my career grew, I started to notice something that broke my heart.
The coaches doing this work every single day across Nigeria on grassroots pitches, in communities, with barely any resources, no one is investing in them.
No certificate. No formal training. No support. Just passion. Just love for the game.
So I made a decision.
I started the Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation NIS Coaching Education Scholarship because I believe that if you invest in the coach, you invest in every single player they will ever coach for the rest of their career and for the rest of their lives.
Behind every great Nigerian athlete is a coach who believed in them first.
Let us invest in those coaches.
If you believe what I believe that Nigerian sport changes from the ground up, not the top down, share this. Invest in this. Be a part of this.

Dear David ,
I have written a lot of letters
, but I have written none to any player so you’d be the first I’m writing this to.
You’ve had incredibly tough upbringing, loosing your mother a few years ago also didn’t make it any easier, then you had to go through one of the most difficult periods of your life in the last 2 years, you were tested, sometimes when I see your message pop up on my phone I thought it would be a text telling me you quit, but you didn’t. You showed up everyday in training like nothing happened, you smile even when I know deep down you’re in pain, scared . But yet you kept fighting.
And you know whenever you thank me for not giving up on you I always told you how you made it difficult to give up on you. Oh yes you made it incredibly hard to give up on you.
And I remember how I said you could have a hypeman as backup Incase football doesn’t work 😂you’re one of the most incredible human beings I’ve met.
You arrived @Tripple44_fc almost 3 years ago and you never left camp for one day. Everytime I went to the camp unannounced you seem to be the only one who’s got an impeccable record of staying indoors. You just want to want to play football.
Here is what I think. I know you’re pained or maybe mad because of the delay, but how about you put that pain behind every strike, every header and every shirt you represent.. I hope you do so. And Tripple 44 will always have a special place for you and I personally wish you all the best.
With love ❤️
Your president.

Arrived as a little boy but left a man, Usman owoyemi after 5 years @Tripple44_fc will now continue his Journey in Bosnia with FK Zvijedza-09
He spent las season on loan at Karlstad where he played a lot of games.
Haven signed since January, but the delay in getting his work permit made him wait till now to join as he had to travel to Egypt first to secure his D visa.
One of the most incredible human beings I’ve met, a warrior, another Ibadan boy.
I wish you all the best and I have high hopes for you .
Thanks to everyone involved.

The FIFA clearing House compliance assessment in Africa and to Nigeria to be specific is so discriminatory. First and foremost, the FCH during compliance assessment does not accept drivers license from Nigeria, voters card, digital NIN and recently the NIN slip as proof of

Out of our starting 11 . 8 made it to professional level…
@Tripple44_fc is different. We make our own luck here.
Sometimes people need to fall into the hands of these fake agents to actually appreciate an academy that gives them the platform on a platter, a platform many of these players constantly abuse and disrespect together with their families.
Joshua Olowoporoku 🇳🇬 is special Man, these young Nigerian midfielders are getting me sucked in Man
Apparently, he’s the younger brother of Ife Olowoporoku, been on my radar since age 15
Watching Ibadan midfielders caresses my soul with their understanding of possession..
