Super Eagles and Atalanta striker Ademola Lookman has celebrated his mother’s role in helping him become a successful football player.
In a recent interview with L’equipe, Lookman highlighted the sacrifices his “Superwoman” played in his glittering career.
“I lived with my mom and my sister. Growing up with them allowed me to understand women. My dad and my other sister were in Nigeria, in Lagos.
“My mother did everything to not let it affect me. I was the only boy, my family showed me a lot of love, always supported and protected. As a child, if you don’t have a father around or a mother, it’s complicated. My mother created the best possible environment for my sister and me. Then my sister went to university. Mom was great.
She played a lot of different roles. I always called her Superwoman because she is an incredible woman. I will always be indebted to her,” the African Footballer of the Year nominee was quoted as saying.
