She got into the national team as a defensive midfielder, she was so good that they converted her into a flanker and she was still so good that they made her our main striker.

She's the only African to have won the award and it was presented on the strength of her performance at the 2014 Under 20 World Cup and the 2014 Nations Cup. No other African has won it.

Brother are you a fan of all those clubs ? I am more interested in what she has done for us.
Asisat may be the more successful footballer but who has done more for Nigeria is the question ?
Asisat is still on the way up. Hopefully she does more than Perpetua eventually as that means success for us.
But as of today 2021, she has not even scored up to half the goals Perpetua scored for us. We are praying for her but she's not there yet. Thankfully she's still young.
I am pretty sure the CAF guys are surprised by those votes.

Anyway let's watch the last games of the EPL season starting around now

Go back and read what I wrote and you'll see what she has done for us. Which other Nigerian player has won both golden ball and golden booth at the World Cup while propelling Nigeria to silver medal? Do you want me to post the videos again? I posted them before.

She was the highest goals scorer at the 2016 Nations Cup, second highest goal scorer and best player at the 2014 Nations Cup. In fact, I'm going to post the videos and pictures again and tag you in all of them. Just give me a minute.

She's only the second ever African woman to score in 2 senior World Cups and you want to tell me that she hasn't done anything for Nigeria??

PAtoGCFR2034:
Eto is definitely a great player and the most successful African but he was not the best player amongst his peers. George became the best player on the planet. The number 1 out of 6 billion people or whatever. Do you get that 's GREATNESS.

Again I am not sure you understand the topic of Nigeria's greatest female player. We have to look at achievements for the country.

Perpetua has 99 caps and 80 goals for her country while Asisat has only 37 goals (29 for senior team). Less than half of Perpetua's.
Perpetua has played in 7 CAF tournaments and won 5 while Asisat has played and won 3 so far
Perpetua played for senior team for 16 years while Asisat has not been played half of that yet

And you think Asisat is greatest player ? How many caps does she even have for Nigeria ? She's just 26 and probably still has like 10 years of playing ahead of her. I am sure if you ask the lady herself , she'll tell you to wait another few years before including her in that conversation. She is on the path to greatness no doubt but not there yet. She would appreciate the vote but understands that she has not achieved it yet.

You may argue Perpetua played when female football was not competitive but that only proves how dominant she was. After all she also lived in that era. It's not like she came from the future to play. And she even still played as recently as 2014 and still scored.
If you wanna talk about difference in timelime don't forget that Asisat has access to better training and facilities right now. So you either factor in both the advantages and disadvantages. Otherwise leave that aspect of the argument out

You see, I said it! You guys don't follow female football. It's only when something like this happens that you pop up with stats that don't represent what is happening.

Those stats that you posted do not reflect the greatness or otherwise of Asisat, but rather it reflects the terrible administration of the NFF and CAF.

Do you know that, on two occasions, the Super Falcons did not play a single match in more than a year?? Do you know that after winning the Nations Cup on December 3rd, 2016, the Falcons did not play again until their game against France on April 6th, 2018??

Do you know that after losing to Ivory Coast in October 2019, the Super Falcons did not play any match until February 2021?

Do you know that Asisat would have had 5 African Player of the Year title (more than anyone else) if CAF had not cancelled the award last year?

Do you know that CAF cancelled the Women's Nations Cup which should have held last year instead of postponing it??

And yet Asisat has been able to achieve all these things that no other African woman has achieved! (despite the very poor administration) How is that not greatness??

Mehn, I'm gonna have to pick somebody from the 1994 squad. Rashidi Yekini oo. No lie. Even though his career nosedived immediately after 1994 but what he did before then still stands

Unfortunately Kanu did not win at the senior level . If he had, added to the 1993 U17 and 1995 olympic gold would have made him undisputed.

But everybody has their opinions. Some rate Kanu's performance against Brazil as greatest Nigeria's moment. I remember how I marched in the streets till after midnight

So why is it Yekini and Kanu? Why not Teslim Thunder Balogun, Bulldozer Amusa Shittu, the Wonder Boy Paul Hamilton or Mathematical Segun Odegbami?

Why is Pele the greatest Brazilian player and not Garrincha the Little Bird?

Why is Maradona Argentina's greatest ever player and not Mario Kempes? Do you know what Kempes did at the 1978 World Cup?

I have been watching female football from close up since it was introduced as a demonstration sport at the 1989 National Sports Festival in Lagos. I watched every single game of that tournament live. I have closely monitored the Super Falcons since it was created (in fact my father had a hand in the creation of that team) and I can tell you that some of the comments here are very funny. Very funny indeed.

He's correcting you but you're still posting rubbish. Messi is much more successful as footballer than Maradona and also better (in my opinion) but ask Argentines who their greatest player. Its not about what you did for your club. Are you a fan of those clubs ? It's not about best player. It's about GREATEST player. Neymar is a better player than Ronaldo Lima. But Brazilians still rank Neymar below Pele, Ronaldo Romario etc in terms of greatness.

And what you posted, bolded above, is incorrect.
Nkwocha was voted African Women's Footballer of the Year in 2004, 2005, 2010 and 2011 by Confederation of African Football (CAF).
