* thanks God for good
fortune
Super Falcons ace and
African footballer of the year Assisat Oshoala is in thanks giving mood after
successfully acquiring a two story building for her parents in the Costrain
Area of Lagos state. The Dalian Quanjian
F.C.of China ace who described herself as a "Small Girl with a big
God" thanked God for the feat achieved; a gift which a close pal said has
taken the parents of the former Arsenal ace to cloud 9.
Assisat who was reported
to have demanded that the fashionable jersey lunched at the Russia 2018 World
cup be equally showcased by the Super Falcons had captioned his post announcing
the purchase of the house thus;
"Small girl Big God
��…Alhamdulilah, parent first"
Oshoala found success as
a forward for Nigeria's youth teams but made most of her early appearances for
the senior national team as an attacking midfielder. She was nicknamed
"Seedorf" after male footballer Clarence Seedorf and has also been
referred to as "Superzee" by her teammates.
She was named best
player and with seven goals was also the top goal scorer at the 2014 FIFA U-20
Women's World Cup. She was named best player and second top goalscorer with the
Super Falcons team who won the 2014 African Women's Championship claiming BBC Women's Footballer of the Year 2015.
In September 2014
Oshoala was made a Member of the Order of the Niger by President of Nigeria
Goodluck Jonathan. On 8 June 2015 in Winnipeg, Canada, Oshoala opened her
senior FIFA Women's World Cup account by scoring Nigeria's second goal in a 3–3
draw with Sweden. The former Robo Fc and
Rivers Angels star made a surprise move to Chinese club Dalian Quanjian F.C. in
February 2017 from Arsenal Ladies. Some die-hard female football lovers who
spoke to Sportinglife.ng on her achievements so far said she has a lot of
prospect adding that her case should ginger parents to encourage and support
their female children in whatever career they chose in life as "you never
can say where the needed liberation from poverty will come from"
Oshoala can be said to
be completely af home in China with Nigerian legion led by Super Eagles Captain
John Obi Mikel also China based. Others plying their trade in China include
Odion Ighalo who was tongue lashed by many fans for wasting begging chances in
the tie against Argentina at the world cup, Obafemi Martins ( Shanghai Shenhua).Anthony
Ujah (Liaoning Whowin),Brown Ideye (Tianjin Teda).
