The towering midfielder insists that Shabana is not feeling the pressure having never kicked a top-flight ball for 17 years.
However, the lanky midfielder is adamant that the team should come first before individual accolades, which is what he is totally focused on at the moment.
“I am not thinking about getting goals. I am thinking about helping the team get into a better position,” Ogechi told Pulse Sports.
“I am helping the team achieve its targets this season. After that, I can start thinking about individual accolades because we are thinking about how we will strengthen the team.

FKFPL Shabana end 17 years of wait for Premier League victory by claiming Tusker's scalp
Shabana have finally registered the first win of the season after beating Tusker 0-1 in a match played at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
“I also want to thank God because I have two league goals so far. I am sure more goals will come though, but they will come once the team starts performing well consistently and with teamwork.”
The midfielder scored 14 goals in the NSL last season, with all of them being netted in multiple ways. Some were bullet headers and others were balls that were struck from distance, underpinning his completeness.
As one of the side’s star players, he is carrying the hopes on numerous Shabana fans, who will be hoping he can maintain his momentum in the top flight where he has already netted two league goals to help the side maintain its momentum.
