Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman, upon winning the 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year award, reflected on how his failure four years ago made him a better player.
According to Lookman, “just over four years ago I failed in front of the world. Fast forward four years, I’m the best player in Africa.”
“I want to say to the young children and people watching this: don’t let your failures weigh you down that they break your wings. Matter of fact, turn your pain into your power and continue to fight.
“Firstly. I want to thank the Almighty God for everything he has been doing in my life, and everything he has been blessing me with.
“I want to thank the president, I want to thank all my teammates- club and country. I want to thank them for all their support and love that they gave me.”
“This award today is a blessing to me, to my family, to my nation, and to be recognized as the best player in Africa. It’s something incredible and I’m extremely proud of”, he said.
