Asisat Oshoala reacting on social media as Nigerian football stars shine across Europe
When Nigerian players start cooking across Europe, even the queen of African football can’t stay silent.
Six-time African Women’s Player of the Year Asisat Oshoala was watching closely — and after a weekend of pure Naija dominance, she let the timeline know exactly how she felt.
“Nigeria for cook for that World Cup sha o, all our boys just dey cook this season….haaaaa #WorldCup #SuperEagles”
And honestly? She wasn’t exaggerating.
Victor Osimhen delivered another elite performance for Galatasaray S.K. in a 3–1 win over Alanyaspor.
The highlights?
A wild bicycle kick assist to set up Lucas Torreira
A composed finish after rounding the goalkeeper
Season tally now at 26 goals and 9 assists in 36 games (club + country)
Galatasaray extended their Süper Lig lead to five points — and Osimhen continues to look unplayable.
Over in England, Alex Iwobi lit up the London derby with a stunning strike from the edge of the box as Fulham F.C. outclassed Tottenham Hotspur F.C..
Behind him:
Calvin Bassey was rock-solid defensively
Samuel Chukwueze added spark with an electric cameo
Nigeria didn’t just show up. They imposed themselves.
The goals kept flowing.
Paul Onuachu bagged his 17th league goal in a 3–1 win over Fatih Karagumruk, while Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi helped Beşiktaş J.K. grind out a 1–0 clean-sheet victory at Kocaelispor.
Consistency. Leadership. Results.
In Spain, Ademola Lookman played a key role in Atletico Madrid’s gritty 1–0 win at Real Oviedo — their third straight victory fueling a serious LaLiga title charge.
Different country. Same impact.
Oshoala’s reaction hits deeper because it comes at a complicated time.
The Super Eagles suffered World Cup heartbreak after exiting on penalties to DR Congo in November, with a pending FIFA petition over ineligible players seen as their last hope for a North American ticket.
But here’s the silver lining:
This squad is peaking.
Osimhen
Lookman
Iwobi
Onuachu
Ndidi
Bassey
Chukwueze
Dominating across multiple countries and leagues.
If club form translates to national cohesion, Nigeria won’t just participate on the global stage — they’ll compete.
After a memorable AFCON 2025 run, Nigerian football feels alive again.
Asisat Oshoala saw the fire.
She called it.
And right now, Naija football is sizzling.
