Celebrities › Re: Fuji Artist K1 Shows Off His Cattle Ranch by naptu2: 6:54am On Jan 30, 2021
helinues:
Yet, the Fulani herdsmen that have been in The business for decades find it hard to have their own ranch..

Except they have another mission
That's because they know more about ranching than most people in Nigeria. They saw the ranches that were set up in the 1940s, '50s and '60s and they saw those ranches fail. That's why they believe that ranching does not work. (Are there any cows in Obudu Cattle Ranch?)

I believe ranching is the solution, but first we need to address the problems of ranching, that is, the problems that made all those ranches that were set up in the 1940s, '50s and '60s to fail.

3) Tabitha Chawinga.

She doesn't get a lot of attention in Nigeria because she plays for Malawi which hardly qualifies for the Nations Cup or World Cup, but she and her sister have lit up leagues around the world.


She was the highest goal scorer in the Swedish second division in 2015.


She was the highest goal scorer in the Swedish first division (the top division) in 2017.


She was the highest goal scorer in the Chinese Super League in 2018.

2) Gaelle Deborah Enganamouit.

She is the second person that is guaranteed to be on this list.


She is the 2015 African footballer of the year.


She was the highest goal scorer in the Swedish League in 2015

She is the first African woman to score a hat-trick at the FIFA senior World Cup (she scored a hat-trick against Ecuador at the 2015 World Cup).

She was shortlisted for the BBC World women's footballer of the year (I think she came second).

She scored the fasted goal in women's football history.

1) Asisat Oshoala.

There are 2 people that are guaranteed to be on this list and Asisat Oshoala is one of them. Check out the stats and accolades.


She was the highest goal scorer and best player at the 2014 Under 20 World Cup.

She was the second highest goal scorer and best player at the 2014 African Nations Cup.

She was the highest goal scorer at the 2016 African Nations Cup.

She was the highest goal scorer in the Chinese league in 2017 and second highest goal scorer in 2018.

She was the second highest goal scorer in the Spanish league in 2020.

She was the African player of the year on 4 occasions, 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019.

She is one of only two African women that has scored in two World Cups.


(Have you noticed that I didn't mention the number of times she won the Nations Cup? That's because this is based on personal statistics and honours, not team statistics or honours).

I've seen a lot of Nigerians complain about this list, but I've analysed the list and discovered that, apart from Estelle Johnson, every other person on the list very clearly merits their position.


Remember that this list is based on personal merit and also remember that the body that compiled it deals with statistics. I really can't see anybody on this list that has not merited it and although there are people (basically Nigerians) that I would have loved to be on the list, I can't see how they would displace the people that are there.

Dribbles, freekicks, assists, those are the natural talents of the football magician and Ghanaian captain Elizabeth Addo.

grin Look at what she did to Janine Van Wyck and look at what she did to the Nigerian defence!

Asisat Oshoala scored the first goal for Barcelona in a record breaking game against Atletico Madrid this afternoon at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The match set a new attendance record for women's football in Europe with over 60,739 spectators in the stadium.

The game is also significant because Barcelona were 6 points behind Atletico at the top of the table and Atletico would have virtually won the league if they had won this game.

They didn't because Oshoala scored from a stunning header in the 65th minute (she went off a few minutes later with a muscle problem after leading another attack) and Toni Duggan came off the bench (replacing Oshoala) to score the second and winning goal in the 80th minute.

Here are highlights of the game.

The Samba Princess and Assist Queen, Ngozi Sonia Okobi, scored a remarkable goal in the 62nd minute to give Eskilstuna United a 1-0 victory over Limhamn Bunkeflo. Okobi had a throw in close to the corner flag. The ball was passed back to her and she dribbled her way back into the penalty area and fired a wonderful shot into the goal.

Okobi’s Super Falcons teammate, Halimatu Ayinde was voted player of the match. Eskilstuna wore pink jerseys to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Day.
