In a message on her official social media platforms, Ebi said, "After almost 13 years of playing football outside the shores of Nigeria, I have come to realise that one of the best decisions I’ve ever made is coming back to play in the Nigerian Women Football League. I’m feeling extremely happy.
"The slogan of my new team is “One Day At A Time.” Here I am, fulfilling my lifelong dream of coming back to play in the Nigerian League one day at a time, and it is all adding up gradually.
"My desire to beam the light on young girls is being fulfilled effortlessly. For the first time in my life, I feel fulfilled that I'm bringing all that I’ve ever achieved as a footballer back to where it all started, back to the Nigerian league.
)
"I’m fulfilling my lifelong dream of being a part of another young girl’s life, an opportunity I never had with my football idols like Florence Omagbemi and many others whom I would have loved to train with, take pictures with, and play in the same league with them.
"The calls and messages have confirmed that my decision was received with open arms across the globe. My lifelong dream of giving back to our own league where I played for 10 good years before travelling is finally being achieved. Seeing the joy on the faces of these young ladies who want to be like me is very reassuring.
)
Certainly, this is just the starting point for me and the beginning of greater things in my quest to change the narrative in the women’s league in Nigeria.
"In addition to the value my presence is adding to Naija Ratels players, my ultimate goal is to make my presence felt by players in other teams🤗. The joy in my heart is priceless ♥️."
Ebi is not part of the Super Falcons team for the upcoming Olympic qualifiers against Ethiopia.
