Ashleigh is proof that identity runs deeper than accent. Her decision to play for Nigeria despite growing up abroad shows intentionality and pride. Even in design, intentional branding speaks louder than noise. Identity matters — in football and in business.

Those rolling tires then,some became geniuses later on.

Yoruba culture is very deep, reason why there are so many Yoruba slave descendants in Brazil that still practices Yoruba culture and religion and some even came back home like Bishop Ajayi crowther

Was it English team that told you that?

Ashleigh Plumptre!

Despite having Plumptre written on her shirt, more people call her Ashleigh.

Good 👍 one

Really? Not good enough? 😏

She played for England at Under-15, Under-17, Under-19, and Under-23 levels. She even participated in two UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship tournaments.

Under 23 is full Olympic level. Not good enough indeed.

Some, in a bid to be contrary, end up throwing mud at ourselves.

She got that blonde hair from her nana and that's why most people think she ain't Nigerian

She's quarter black by the way...she's a quadroon, a very sexy one. And I hope she isn't into women like most of these female ballers

She is not from Lagos not to talk of Yoruba because her mother is white and non Yoruba just like Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour so she is oyibo and with no roots in Lagos or Yoruba

Lolz I have relatives like this..my mum's brother's great grand children
