Super Falcons: Desire Oparanozie reveals the ideal man she would like to date

Oparanozie and Oshoala were reportedly at loggerheads after the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France.
Timeline of Oparanozie and Oshoala's beef
Oparanozie, who was the Super Falcons captain in the tournament, stood up for his teammates in their battle against the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Although the matter was later resolved, Oparanozie was blacklisted from the team for about three years following the tournament.
However, Oshoala, who was also in the Super Falcons squad, failed to back her teammate, taking over the captain’s armband from her.

This reportedly led to a beef between the two parties. However, it appears Oparanozie has now moved on from the beef after urging Nigerians to go all out for Oshoala at the Globe Soccer Awards.
