Woman Crush Sunday (WCS): Asisat Osoala.

     Asisat Lamina Oshoala was born on the 9th of October 1994, She  is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays for Spanish side FC Barcelona Femení in the Primera División as a forward.She was named best player and was the highest goal scorer at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. She was also named the second top goalscorer with the Super Falcons team who won the 2014 African Women's Championship.
Asisat Oshoala joined Arsenal Ladies in March 2016 from Liverpool.The striker started her career at Nigerian Lower Division side FC Robo before moving up a league to join Rivers Angels in 2013, where she spent two years.
Oshoala then made the move abroad to sign for Liverpool Ladies. The 26-year-old was voted the best player at the African Women’s Championship during the Super Falcons' triumph in 2014.
Oshoala’s impressive debut season in the Women’s Super League saw her win the BBC Women’s Footballer of the Year award in 2015. 
     One reason she is our woman crush Sunday is, she is ever improving, in her words, "Personally I’m feeling great. I’ve been improving and feel I fit better into the way the team plays. I’ve been scoring goals in the preseason and things are going well".
In 2020, Nigeria international Asisat Oshoala helped Barcelona grab a record seventh Spanish Copa de la Reina title for the 2019-20 season following a 3-0 victory over Logrono in Malaga on Saturday.
The Nigerian delivered an impressive performance in attack as the Blaugranas claimed their second major title in the 2019-20 term after reclaiming the league crown for the first time since 2015.
Despite scoring 16 goals in 20 outings this term, Oshoala was left on the bench after she failed to hit the net in two games and came on as a second-half substitute to guarantee her side's win. Oshoala was in action for the final 25 minutes of the match to celebrate her second major title triumph for Barcelona, after clinching her first league title in Europe last summer.
After the title win for Barcelona, the Super Falcons captain heads out in high spirits to Antalya, where Nigeria aim to become the first African side to claim the Turkish Women's Cup.

Wish I could begin to tell all the tales just on this page as concisely as possible.It will be an uphill task both for me and you too dear reader.However,October was a very busy month for me.Imagine,not having time to pen down anything for you to read?It was just too muddled up.Started with twin bombings in Abuja where I reside and then the loss of a very dear aunt.It was just too emotional for me but you can bet I am back on this blog for good.Lets keep keeping on and most importantly stay saluting the creator and giver of life.Life is a treasure no man should be quick to part with!

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
