The versatile Lincoln Lion star has done well to combine football and education in the United States of America since arriving from her native NIGERIA.

Bello who also studied at Methodist High School, Sagamu says the love for the Healthcare profession really inspired her.

She mused in a chat with the Media: “Most people value their health above everything else in their lives whether they know it or not. When someone is sick or injured, his or her normal way of life is disrupted and health care practitioners have the incredible opportunity to restore these people’s lives to normalcy and even save some from death itself.”

“Becoming a Health Practitioner means learning everything there is to know about the human body. The human body itself is an incredible thing to study and medical students and doctors have the opportunity to further examine it with the most innovative technology. From the pumping of the heart to drugs that take away pain to machines that allow you look inside a person, modern medicine remains one of the most fascinating subjects in the world. By the virtue of their title, we are trusted with sensitive information that most other people would not have access to. Patients share their deepest concerns with their doctors in hopes of being healed. To be trusted to this extent by anybody is a great honor.”

“Health care experts are considered the leaders in health care and often have the final say on treatment decisions. When they talk, people usually listen. We interact with different kinds of people with various ailments every day. The variety of experiences guarantees that every day will have some sort of excitement.”

“Just because you are a health care expert does not mean you have to see patients all day every day. There are numerous opportunities available for MD’s and DO’s: clinical research, basic science research, journalism, consulting, business ventures, hospital administration, public health, and public policy,” she added.

Sarata Bello is expected to graduate from Lincoln City University before the year runs out.

Sarata Bello, an undergraduate of Ahmadu Bello University has been named best player of the Richy Inter University Football League in Kaduna.

The youngster who also captains the Ahmadu Bello University squad, helped the team to finish first on the ladder.

“I am very proud of this award. I was named as the best player in the tournament, all this has been possible thanks to your continued support,” Bello said in message to the Media during the award nite.

The soft spoken baller says that she draws inspiration from Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala.

“As a footballer you strive to become good and improve in all ramifications. For me I always watch the video clips of Asisat Oshoala. She is my role model.

The youngster who was brilliant for the ABU team tormented defenders with her direct and mobile approach.

The Methodist High School product will be hoping to further develop herself as a footballer in years to come.

As a NIGERIAN football writer, the question that everybody always wants to ask you never changes: who is the next big star of the Female Football game?

Still in Nigeria and young, Desire Oparanozie is already a veteran in the eyes of many. She is now old news.

People are already wanting to look beyond the youngster and, if you like.

There are, of course, plenty of candidates. Some will doubtless make it to the top of the game.

So, let’s take a look at six teenage players tipped for the top in future years.

There are too many to mention!

6. Amirat Adebisi

A safe choice for the list, Adebisi has been tipped for the top for some time now and was the star of Robo Queens U13.

A diminutive attacking midfielder, Adebisi operates at the point of the midfield, looking to open up defences for her team’s attacking players.

Also an excellent free-kick taker, the player has a taste for goals and is often found making late runs into the area to finish off attacking moves that she may very well have instigated.

The talent is there, but the step up to star at first-team level is perhaps the greatest challenge a No. 10 will face in their career.

5. Monday Gift

Having played as a wide forward at Under-10 and Under-12 level, it was recently that she began to be used as a central striker. It was in this position that her game began to evolve from one of just electric pace, to now being regarded as a fine all-around attacking player.

Gift’s progress is being carefully monitored by many in high places—she will soon have the chance to prove herself at Under-17 and Under-20 level.

4. Sarata Bello

Bello is just one of a rising double-act making waves at Methodist High School. She is leading the way for the team’s much-hyped next generation.

Blessed with great speed, Bello is blessed with grit and determination.

The youngster has excellent close control and has shown herself to be a fine finisher when presented with chances.

3. Barakat Olaiya

Attacking midfielder Olaiya is just one of a handful of promising talents currently emerging at Bayelsa Queens.

A rapid dribbler with the ball, the No. 10 has proven herself to possess the technical attributes needed to both beat defenders and pick a key pass to her teammates. She has also built a reputation as a consistent goalscorer at youth levels.

2. Rofiat Sule

Often praised for her down-to-earth attitude, Sule is a surprisingly mature player for her age. She is quick and well-built, but relies primarily on her technical ability and footballing intelligence to shine.

Rofiat Sule is a natural goal poacher.

1. Rasheedat Ajibade

Renowned for her intelligent positioning, ability to beat opponents and, of course, her finishing, she is already being quietly compared in style to Desire Oparanozie and the legendary Perpetual Nkwocha.

Such is the talent of Ajibade that she scored a screamer for FC Robo Queens against Confluence Queens on 17th May 2013.

Date: 25th April, 2010

The teenager has caught the eye of spectators at the ongoing 2010 Yaba Female Football Competition.

Coming from a royal family in Nigeria, Sarata Bello has so far fulfilled the first phase of her dream.

Hailing from an area which has a rich history of unearthing Nigerian internationals, Sarata has never been short of inspiration to one day don the green and white of the Super Falcons.

“I am happy to have such an opportunity at a young age, to come here and represent Methodist High School.

“I thank organizers for this opportunity. If there wasn’t a tournament I would not be here enjoying the fruits of being a hardworking soccer player.

“Organizers have transformed me into a better person.

“I want to use this tournament as a foundation for my career and a huge stepping for me to one day play in a big league or play for the Super Falcons of Nigeria,” said Bello.

When the soft spoken utility player was quizzed about what she would do if she was not a footballer or if she was to stop playing football tomorrow, she was not shy to emphasize where her ambitions lie.

“If for certain reasons beyond my control I do not make it as a footballer I would pursue a career in health sector or sports Administration.”
