Oshoala was voted for and rated the best by non-Nigerians and international football federations. Also, she was among the final three in 2018, but lost to her South African rival Thembi Kgatlana. So, how did Oshoala emerge as this year’s winner of 2019 CAF Best African Female Footballer of the Year? According to media reports, none of the five Nigerians present at the awards ceremony voted for Oshoala. So, Oshoala, keep the Nigerian flag flying high; because hard work and excellence cannot be thrown into the dustbin.
