If it's the same Asisat Oshoala I saw at the last women AFCON we are talking about and that is going to Saudi, I will advice she just bow out of soccer honourably, because football has left her. She's no longer in her hay days.

She is a bigger name and so she got the attention and spotlight. She will earn far than any Africa woman in Saudi league. Look at the clubs she played for before heading to Saudi Arabia. She is the queen of Africa female football.

It's NOT "westernisation"

It is becoming more liberal

There is a difference

Liberalism is NOT Westernisation or Western exclusive
