A talented Nigerian lady, Fakiyesi Abisola Anthonia, has shown off her football-playing skill in a viral video.

Posting the video on Friday, March 5, the lady said she is "an average girl from the average streets with an empty pocket and a bag of dreams".

Anthonia, therefore, asked people to help her retweet her video so that it could go viral and gain wide attention from social media users.

In the clip, the lady demonstrates her smooth ability to place passes, adjust possessions and locate free team members on the spur of the moment.

"It is clear that you are good. Also seems your skill set is suited for a CM role. I honestly see no reason why you dreams won't come through. God speed. BTW... If you are going to be a CM, you will need to work on your pace and passing. You literally have to make the game flow."

@BodesPen_ said:

"You are good. Lol. The power is there. I like the way you keep the ball in between your legs, keep doing that it won't allow the opponents to take it away from you easily. They will foul you and you have a free kick. Nice one babe."

"You really good, keep hope alive. I believe you will be scouted soon."

Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za earlier reported that a young Nigerian man, Daniel Anorue, asked people to rate his football playing skill, adding that he is a left-footed midfielder.

He said he is currently enrolled at the Barca Academy in Lagos state. Sharing the highlight of some of his sessions on the pitch, the young Nigerian man asked people to retweet his video so it can have a wider reach.
