Super Falcons midfielder Deborah Abiodun shared a WhatsApp chat screen record on her Instagram where Ajibade complained about her haircut.

Abiodun recommended her stylist to the captain, who made a cross sign at the back, possibly to reflect the former Atletico Madrid Feminino star's spirituality.

However, the captain did not find the sign cool and complained to her teammate, who shared the audio online, and it attracted funny reactions from the fans.
