[size=14pt]Asisat Oshoala: Liverpool Ladies accept Arsenal's bid for striker[/size]

Liverpool Ladies have "reluctantly accepted" a transfer bid for striker Asisat Oshoala from fellow Women's Super League side Arsenal Ladies.

The Gunners have activated a release clause in the Nigeria international's contract with the Reds.

Oshoala will now hold talks with Pedro Martinez Losa's side but the move is subject to the 21-year-old receiving a work permit for the 2016 campaign.

Oshoala was named the BBC's Women's Footballer of the Year in 2015.

She joined Liverpool ahead of the 2015 WSL campaign and scored three goals in 12 league outings last season.

Oliseh should wait for half time before making that change.

Brimmie:
So they're not showing it on any SuperSport Channel? DSTV/GoTV ??

2rucool:
Is this supersport deliberately want to prevent most Nigerian viewers from watching this match? Knowing fully-well that most Nigerians have access to their select channel. They are now using the station to show Tunisia vs Niger, who cares ?

Nubar Gulbenkian's Rolls Royce Silver Wraith (It was used by the Queen when she visited Nigeria in 1956).



More pictures. https://www.nairaland.com/2560289/muhammadu-sanusi-ii-abuja-today


Nubar Gulbenkian was an eccentric Armenian-British millionaire who was crazy about Rolls Royces. He had many custom made Rolls Royces (the Rolls Royce company was not always happy with the designs that he chose for his cars). This particular car was designed by Gulbenkian in 1952. It's a Rolls Royce Silver Wraith, but its lights are different from any other Silver Wraith.

The Emir of Kano, Abdullahi Bayero (Emir from 1926-1953) bought the car shortly afterwards. Bayero died and the car was inherited by his successor, Alhaji Mohammed Sanusi I. The car was used to convey Queen Elizabeth II when she toured Northern Nigeria in 1956 (Kano, Jos, Kaduna, etc).

The car was also inherited by the late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero and it has now been inherited by the current Emir, Muhammad Sanusi II.

OMG, this picture isn't 1982 ooooooo. I think d person dat poster this stuff was either too young / wasn't born b4 1982 or the person never visited Lagos until after like 1990s. Na bettle n other cars you'll see. And who there use 405 or 404 for Taxi as at then.

TonySpike:
I've done forensic audit of this picture as follow:

1. Plate numbers of these vehicles only match pre-1992 era
2. This road is Ikorodu road, somewhere between Palmgrove and Jibowu corridor.
3. This road used to have meshed dividers between the fast lane and service lane around the 90's. I can't find any sign of dividers in this picture.
4. Based on the widespread use of Peugeot 504 as taxis, this should be at least 10-15 years from the first manufacturing year of this model in 1968.

Based on these deductions, I hereby suspect that this picture was taken between 1980 and 1989. Anybody supporting me? Naptu?
