Letter To Asisat Oshola By Aderonke Ogunleye-Bello

Whenever the media celebrate Nigerian players, it gets into their head, they start bluffing when perfectly created by the media, girls will roll their eyes and flick their braids while the guys pierce their ears and paint their hair, sag their trousers,forgetting that sagging originally starts from prison.

No doubt a lot has been written about Asisat Lamina Oshoala AKA SuperZee or Seedorf whom I met physically for the first time this year at the National stadium in Abuja having admired her prowess from TV and Youtube.

As a Liverpool Football Club ardent Fan, I want to say this 20 year old striker is skillful, lucky and a record maker, being the first African player to ever play in the English women league. She is a goal net killer with her skill, talents and team spirit which I hope she can sustain and not get carried away by fame.

Her success story is a great one for women football in Africa, she has on several occasions professed her love and commitment to football and it apparently worked for her. Nightmare, tormentor and destroyer of defenders and goalkeepers.

Oshoala in her unique way knows how to always find the back of the net and she always smash it. She has built herself into a brand in the mode of a ferocious, furious and prolific striker within a short period of time. A made in Nigeria, conquering Europe.

A young achiever, savvy, strong, black and beautiful were the words amongst others to describe the African finest Female Footballer, she however was nominated for the inaugural BBC Women Footballer of the year.

Born and Bred in Lagos, and started playing football on the streets of Lagos, the highly talented 'tomboy' was discovered at an early age for her uniqueness, and was recently nominated for the prestigious BBC Womens footballer of the year, 2014 was indeed her year.

Having won the African Women's Footballer of the Year in 2014, African Women's Youth Player of the Year in 2014 and African Women's Championship, Golden ball and Golden boot at the FIFA U-20 Women's World in 2014, she will be the synosure of all eyes as she plans to rule the world.

Focus, concentration is all she needs I think she should take a clue from Cynthia Uwak who got distracted and fell out of her career, Perpetual Nkwocha is someone she should look up to as a model in the Falcons.

She needs to think of having kids and becoming a wife some day if she so wish, as someone who respect everyones' sexual orientation, I think Asisat may as well overcome lesbianism challenges which is the bane of women's football, however, the last thing she need is any form of distraction while planning for bigger years ahead. 

Asisat said she drop out of school for football, of course it can never be too late to enroll in some courses in UK, if there is no much time, why not grab an online course which is more flexible, she should make the money now, spend and also save for the raining days because nothing last forever.
