Oshoala Voted Nigeria’s Greatest Female Player Of All Time 

Super Falcons and Barcelona striker Asisat Oshoala has been voted the greatest Nigerian female player of all time, Completesports.com reports.

Oshoala was announced as the greatest female player to emerge from Nigeria after the conclusion of a poll published on CAF’s women’s verified Twitter handle.

She beat off competition from legendary Nigerian female stars Mercy Akide, Perpetual Nkwocha and Cynthia Uwak.

    In my opinion, Perpetua Nkwocha was more skillful, and was an all round better player. But Oshoala is not too far behind. Besides, she has won more trophies, and with the recent UCL trophy, I think she is the most successful female footballer to emerge from Nigeria, and Africa.

  • Asisat has won more laurels, awards than perpetual nkwocha but perpetual is more talented and skillful. Either way I hope asisat leaves Barcelona for another club. I don’t see why they are keeping her on the bench. She is better than any player they have in that team in my own opinion

    Oshoala is so good, people say OH LA LA when she performs. So her nickname now is OSHO-LALA.
    However, respect must be given where it is due. When it comes to football, Perpetua is still her BIG AUNTIE. But if we’re talking about laurels, then Oshoala is it.
