Oshoala wins maiden BBC female footballer award

By

*Asisat Oshoala


Nigeria striker Asisat Oshoala has been announced winner of the maiden BBC Women footballer of the Year award on Tuesday.

Oshoala beat top women stars – Spain’s Verónica Boquete, German Nadine Kessler, Kim Little of Scotland as well as veteran Brazilian star Marta – to win the individual award after raking the highest votes of BBC World Service listeners.

The reigning African Women Footballer of the Year became the first African-based footballer to play in the English Women’s Super League after joining Liverpool Ladies from Rivers Angels of Port Harcourt.

The 20-year-old shone with her superb form at the 2014 U20 Women’s World Cup in Canada, scoring seven goals in six matches. She also helped her country to win the 2014 African Women Championship in Namibia as well as her former club to a domestic double.

The Super Falcons’ forward has been an instant hit since joining the Reds in January, scoring two goals and several assists for the reigning English Women Super League champions.

The former FC Robo starlet will hope to achieve big at the senior international level after her heroics powered Nigeria to her seventh Fifa Women’s World Cup appearance which starts on 6 June in Canada.

Nigeria will open their World Cup campaign against Sweden on Monday, June 8.

SHORT BUT SAD STORY: The Scorpion And The Turtle

By
O nce upon a time, the scorpion wanted to cross the river. It noticed a turtle on the rock and begged the turtle to ferry it across the river where it could find some succulent green vegetation. The turtle asked, "How can i be sure you will not sting my neck?" "Don't be silly," the scorpion shouted back, "If i did that, we would both drown." The turtle was persuaded and so they both swam (with the scorpion strapped to the turtle's back) towards the green vegetation. When they were almost at the end of the river, contrary to its promise, the scorpion stung the turtle on the neck. Struggling to make it to the riverbank and gasping, the turtle with a look of betrayal asked the scorpion, "Why did you do this to me?" Jumping off from the turtle's back to safety on the land, he replied, "I thought you might dive under the water and drown me." What did you learn guys? I learnt that people find it very hard to trust others.
