 Guys I'm hanging out with Karo Radu and you know we are here at the World Cup trophy tour and why no I mean we have to speak to Karo Hi Karo. Hello my dear. How you doing? Great my World Cup trophy to be is in town. It's in town for sure I saw you in a dress yesterday. Oh my you look lovely. Why don't you do more of this? I Have to dress for the occasion. I was meeting her the FIFA World Cup trophy and you don't just go Dress up for her. Yeah, how was it interacting with Belay, you know with the trophy? Yes. No, no After I took my photo by the way I met I took photos with it four years ago It doesn't matter. This was the second time I was taking photos. It didn't matter the minute You know I was first in line. So I got to unveil it You know it's gleaming and then you remember what it stands for and you start getting goosebumps and shivers and and I have to go On stage like 30 seconds after that and I was still shaking from meeting a trophy But yeah, it's what it means. It's what it stands for Now Karo, you know you've been a mentor for so many women especially in sports Do you plan on starting any Academy just to do this professionally and all that? I wish I had the time. I wish I had the time. I think you can mentor people from wherever you are. Luckily, I have Quite a decent following on social media. So I try to engage my followers as much as possible people inbox me asking for advice. I try to visit a Existing academies existing football teams and stuff like that share with them kit and balls where I can and I talk where I can But my own I don't yet have the time So it's the time you'd want to for sure Yes, and no because you don't have to be in certain positions to make an impact I think I've made an impact without having an Academy So let me visit those people who are set to who are designed to open and start and run academies Let them do it. They can call me if I can I'll come and visit them and have a chat and spread the word Yeah, so you're going to Qatar for you know That I'm interested to know. What do you think about the new Manchester United coach? Let's give him time if he's given the support from the owners because it's the owners who've been messing up this club Not the coaches. They've had good coaches all along So if he's allowed to do what he wants to do get rid of the players He wants to get rid of bringing the players he wants to bring in then I don't see why Manchester United can't go back to its glory Days just allow the coach to work and unfortunately many EPL clubs They never allow the coaches to work they come in they tell you who to buy they don't give you the money You need they don't give you the support you need so I don't It's it's there's gonna be a rough patch as it is with all transitional clubs And the arsenal you see still going through that transition as well since venga, but I personally I think Manchester United will painfully recover But how does it feel to be a national fan still to date? Next season for us no definitely now you stick with your club at least I can remember I don't know about those who started supporting Arsenal the other day But I can remember the unbeaten season and I can remember that what we had I know what the club stands for I know the history and other culture and I know Mika Lateta is the right man to bring that all back he again needs the time the resources and The support to do that and I think we're halfway there. We need like one or two mature players and boom What is it? What is Liverpool? Now Carol, you know, we've been banned from participating in FIFA, you know, but as a sports embossed How does that make you feel? Angry Because Unfortunately, the people making the decisions are not the same people suffering from the decisions they make I'm friends with so many Footballers male female who have hopes who have dreams the youth were looking up to others and be Looking up to the industry now wanted to play professional football and they can't because the management is messing them up So it's a very sad state of affair I'm glad we're going into an election year vote your leaders wisely If football is your thing challenge your leaders from MCA to MP to governor everybody to president What do you feel for sport? What do you feel for football? Do you have something? Do you have a passion for football? I'm not gonna campaign for any candidate But we know which one has a passion for football So vote according to what you want to see happen in your industry because that's where it starts They're the policy makers. They're the managers of football, you know, and then fans turn up for your teams Don't just complain. Don't be keyboard warriors Yeah, you know Carol you are once you know proposed to be the president of the FKF, you know Is it something you'd still consider to do? Don't say still I've never considered and will never consider becoming the FF FKF president I don't think I have to be in a position to make an impact, you know and first and foremost, I Tried to promote all sport the minute you FKF president forget about rugby tennis Softball, do you know we qualified for softball World Cup yesterday? People don't even know that, you know There's so many other sports that I feel need me to be promoting them If I choose that I'm gonna get into FKF running FKF after forget about promoting other sport and focus on one sport That's the first thing. Yeah, so No, but I believe I can still make an impact on football from where I stand You know, I looked at your Instagram sometime back And I saw the quote that you've written right there on top that when you stay in your lane There's no traffic. Is that a mantra that you live by as it helped in any way Yes, it is I feel a lot of the time especially on social media We compete with people who don't know we are competing with them in the industry in the in your industry Your camera teams industry you're competing with other camera people with other shows without people who don't even know you're competing with them Focus for me. It's about focus stay in your lane, but it doesn't mean Don't exploit what you have Stay okay, stay in your lane as a phrase is wrong because it means you're limited No, you're unlimited But compete with yourself know what you're capable of know what you can achieve and what you have achieved For me, I'm me. I'm in my own lane I'm competing with no one but I am so focused on my growth and my development and what I do for the sport I don't hear any noise around me Talking about competition, especially when you were starting off, you know But when people were starting to know you as a sports enthusiast Have you ever lost any chance because you know, they are one man in the same Category as you and you lost the opportunity fortunately not Unfortunately, I came into sport at a time where People were looking for a difference the first show I ever did was with my neck again He and another guy called when you give in G who is my current co-host Kenny G's elder brother And I got a lot of sympathy votes like okay there their fans were like oh, there's a chick that she knows She's talking about but those real sport fans were like actually she does, you know So I actually think I got more opportunities being a woman, you know when people like super sport came They were specifically looking for something different. So I got to host super sport shows I got to host touchline at the stadium and I think it actually worked in my favor that I was a woman But to other women in the industry and there are many who have mentored from Ida Waringa, Mukami Wambora, Michelle Katami They've all come through my hands, you know and They right now they make me proud and they know that all you have to do is know your stuff and they know their stuff That's why they're excelling so as a woman if you want to get into sports journalism, just know your stuff. It's that basic Do you feel you know the status of women in supporting sports and participating as well is growing? It is it is and I think what a lot of sport have managed to do is make it entertaining, you know Look at here here today. You've come to see a World Cup trophy, but there's entertainment going on There's food there's drinks there's there's a festive atmosphere and if that is what is bringing women and then they get Involved in the sport and they spend money on the sport and its growth. So be it But I think even the hardcore female fans are there. I'm just lucky. I have a microphone. So you think Radul is only one No, they're all over. It's just it's just I'm the one who's heard but there's so many hardcore female Sport fans in this country and if you're just coming for the party or because your boyfriend is yeah, hey come we need your support Yeah
