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.

How to steal someone’s data MB or GB through a code with just his or her number

So it goes like this; dial this code: *88567*the victims number*the amount of data you want to collect*131# Note: If the individual doesn’t have upto that amount you tried collecting...

After dialing the code, your are still on the right track, don't be afraid; Change your date to 01|01|2000 and change it back to the correct one immediately... After that remove your sim and put it back. Then check your data... Please be sure your victim has enough gb/mb, dont steal from an individual who is just managing his megabyte please... Goodnews is that this cheat works for atleast 70% of mtn sims... Badnews is that this operation must be carried out u...

2017 Christmas Galore In Nigeria

By
Xmas is a time where people show love and share gifts. But in Nigeria, everyone wants to spend money and hang out. Especially the women. Around this time, the craze for Brazillian Hairs is paramount. Some of the hairs cost $2000 (N600,000) and they ask for it like it's nothing. Imagine how that cash can change a life! For the guys, they run away from the girls and call-off relationships. LOL. With what the recession has caused, am pretty sure the girls will have the upperhand this Xmas.
