The 29-year-old said it is unfortunate the people she has had the chance to work with have consistently underrated her.
But while she remains pained by her unfortunate omission, Okobi who now plies her trade in the Spanish Liga F with Levante Las Planas has taken solace in the show of love from her fans and well-wishers who have all continued to question the rationale for her not making the final Super Falcons shortlist.
She wrote: “The more tag notifications I get on my phone the more I keep crying 😭. What a show of love, I know am always underrated by the people I work with, I never knew my fans, family and loved ones still believe in me. Thank you allThe more tag notifications I get on my phone the more I keep crying 😭. What a show of love, I know am always underrated by the people I work with, I never knew my fans, family and love once still believe in me.
She played at the 2008 and 2010 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup and later at the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup with the Falconets. At the senior level, Okobi has also paid her dues; winning a couple of AWCON titles with the Super Falcons and also playing at the World Cup. Having played a key role at the last AWCON tournament in Morocco where Nigeria secured qualification for the showpiece in Australia and New Zealand, Okobi understandably will be displeased she has been denied what might probably be her last realistic chance to feature at the Women’s World Cup.
