Nigerian women are doing well but Same can not be said of the men. Only God can explain what’s up now!
Shakirat Moshood: Bayelsa Queens’ Weapon of Mass Carnage Leads Goals Scorers Chart.
Bayelsa Queens’ Weapon of Mass Carnage Shakirat Moshood is the top dog on the goals scorers’ chart in the ongoing women’s Wafu Zone B CAF Champions League qualifiers.
This no-nonsense sniper has hit the bullseye 3 times, knocking 2 of her colleagues (Alaba Olabiyi and Janet Akekoromowei) and others to second place with their 2 goals each.
And this is not her first rodeo in this sort of ravenous ruthlessness.
Only last year at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, Moshood came joint second in the goals scorers’ chart with 4 strikes, this despite Nigeria crashing out in the quarter finals.
It’s not just her numbers that impresses but her methods. Moshood is smooth, intricate and precise in front of goal. She never skips a bit, knowing what to do and doing it with ruthless efficiency.
She is definitely destined to win the highest goals scorer award in this Wafu Zone B tournament.
One to keep an eye on, Moshood should easily transition to the U-20s where she would be expected to set the world ablaze in the U-20 Women’s World Cup set for Poland next year, provided Nigeria doesn’t slip up in qualifying.
But for now, she has effortlessly knocked it out of the park in this Wafu tournament to reinforce herself as a force of nature in front of goal.
