Naija football star, Asisat Oshoala, don yan something wey many people dey reason for long. She don come out come dey question why CAF go dey put all the important tournaments and awards for Morocco alone. Abeg, wetin dey happen? This one don make everywhere dey boring, my people!
Oshoala, wey dey play for Al Hilal for Saudi Women’s Premier League, take to X to skewer this matter. She talk say, “When this whole Morocco matter go end? E don dey too much! We need other African countries to join the show!” You see, she dey vex as Morocco dey enjoy royal treatment when e come to African football.
She no just stop there, she con dey push for Nigeria, say we fit host Africa Cup of Nations. She talk say we get enough neighbors wey fit join us. “Cameroon, Ghana, Benin, Togo, dem dey all around us. No be sey we no fit work together if we serious!” Na so she dey shout, and I must agree say she get point.
As we dey look this matter, no forget say Morocco just qualified for AFCON final after dem chop Nigeria for penalty shootout, and things dey trend well for dem. Dem dey show us say their football structure dey work, but Oshoala dey remind everybody say make we no forget other countries fit shine too!
For this one, the 35th edition of TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations dey happen for Morocco right now, and na because dem get beta facilities and organization. But wetin go happen when other countries get opportunity to flex their own muscles for international football? Oshoala voice don add pepper to this controversy wey dey bubble.
CAF dey hail Morocco as the new football oga, but Asisat dey push for balance—make every country get chance to showcase wetin dem get. This matter dey sweet for ears, and plenty Naija football fans go dey watch closely as this argument dey unfold. E go better when the whole continent fit ride together, no be so?
As the gist dey hot, Oshoala dey ask the sharp question wey many go think twice before them respond. Wetin you sabi about Nigerian football and how many times e don get mo’ love from CAF? Make we reason this together o, because if we no support ourselves, who go do am for us?
