ASK GABI
About Me
I am Gabriel Obekpa, a Nigerian professional footballer and the founder of ASK GABI. My journey through professional football has taught me lessons that go far beyond the pitch.
I created ASK GABI to share those lessons and help young African footballers make better-informed decisions about their careers.
I realised that talented footballers can face difficult situations not because they lack ability, but because they lack access to reliable information.
I have experienced situations I would have approached differently if I had understood more at the time. ASK GABI is my way of sharing those experiences and helping young players become better informed.
I do not claim to have every answer. I believe in learning, asking questions and recognizing the importance of informed decisions.
You don't need to know everything. You need to ask questions, keep learning and make informed decisions.
ASK GABI was created to turn real experiences into useful knowledge for the next generation of footballers.
My Story
The Experiences That Shaped Me
A Dream That Became a Learning Experience
Like many young Nigerian footballers, I grew up dreaming of becoming a professional and playing in Europe. I was naturally a creative midfielder who loved having the ball, creating chances and making the decisive pass.
My opportunity to move to Europe came through Serbia. My family made significant financial sacrifices to support the journey. We believed I was travelling with a professional contract, but I arrived to discover that I still had to prove myself through what was effectively a trial.
That experience changed how I look at football opportunities. It taught me to ask questions, understand the details and never let excitement replace careful judgement.
I also learned the importance of discipline, adaptability and continuous growth. These experiences shaped not only my approach to football but also my desire to help other young players become better prepared.
How I See Football
Talent can open a door. Discipline, adaptability and informed decisions help you navigate what comes next.
Where I Am Today
Today, I remain focused on growing as a professional footballer while using my experiences to create something meaningful beyond the pitch. Through ASK GABI, I want young African footballers to have access to useful knowledge that can help them approach their careers with greater confidence.
