play football because our tradition do not permit women to play football but
along the line, one Abu who was her teacher at the primary school level pleaded

that Ayieyam has all it takes to become a star someday, so I have to let her
continue her football, thank God I did not ruin her future.”Mrs Ayieyam added. Record has it that Jane
