A former goalkeeper of the Nigerian women’s national football team, Rachael Aladi Ayegba, has turned into a bus driver in the United Kingdom.

Ayegba played in the 2007 Women’s World Cup, the 2006 and 2008 African Women’s Championships and had an 11-year stint as a pro in Finland, winning the league title in 2013 with PK-35 Vantaa.

According to reports, she now drives the number 185 between Lewisham and Victoria.

35-year-old Ayegba told the Standard UK that “When you are trying to save the ball, you need safe hands. But there are ten others on your side.

“When you drive a bus, you are on your own.”

Ayegba, whose favourite player is Cristiano Ronaldo, says she doesn’t play football anymore, though she has coaching licenses.

“I am old. You have to know when to stop,” she added.

“Mentally you have to be 100% ready, if you are a goalkeeper the defenders can help you. You can’t make any mistakes driving a bus.”

Who should we blame? Her country or herself??

By the way, why is our female footballers not making money like our female celebrities?? No endorsements etc, meanwhile the big brother housemates and Nollywood actresses are buying properties like undies.

Something is wrong

Before you pity her...

Sometimes this year, I met a young elderly woman in Mushin where she was buying UK used stuff(OK) that were just cleared from container.

We got talking and one of the things this woman told me was that being a commercial driver in the UK is one of the most difficult things to get but when you get it it, it is like ‘bloody money’.

The woman knows this because she has her kids in the UK and frequents the country from whence she knew.

People with more information can support or disprove this claim though.

But until then, don’t pity the ex-goalkeeper.
