President Tinubu had announced the generous reward during a reception held to celebrate the team’s triumph at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco. In addition to the money, the players and technical crew were promised houses and conferred with national honours for their outstanding performance.

But in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Ajibade made a revelation that is now making waves online.

“We have not received our money, but hopefully, it would be paid,” she said. “They have not paid; all the promises, we have not received anything.”

Omo, this one pain! After all the nationwide celebration and headlines, the Super Falcons are still waiting for their reward months after the announcement.

The news has sparked renewed conversations about unfulfilled promises in Nigerian sports, especially since just a week later, Tinubu made a similar pledge to the country’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, following their own victory on the continental stage.

This development has raised questions among fans and sports lovers, with many asking why such rewards, once publicly announced, often face delays in payment.

While Ajibade expressed hope that the funds would eventually come through, her statement has shed light on a situation that most Nigerians assumed was already settled.

For now, according to reports, neither the Super Falcons nor their coaching crew have received the promised cash gift, houses, or any official update on when the rewards will be fulfilled.

With both the Super Falcons and D’Tigress holding recent continental titles, Nigerians are watching closely to see if the pledges will be honoured in full — and when.

E be like say this gist never end. We’ll be here to keep you updated as the story unfolds.

According to CAFonline, the 31-year-old Swedish-based baller said the squad is fully focused on reclaiming what they lost three years ago in this same Morocco.

A Title Lost, A Title Wanted

Let’s not forget — Nigeria lost their WAFCON dominance in 2022, crashing out in the semi-final to Morocco via a 5–4 penalty shootout after a dramatic 1–1 draw. Morocco went on to lose the final to South Africa.

But this time? Omo this is going to hot!

Ayinde made it clear: “This final is not going to be different. We are going to stick together as a team and fight for each other.”

All Eyes on Rabat

The highly-anticipated final between Nigeria and Morocco goes down today at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, and fans are already holding their breath.

Ayinde, who plies her trade at Rosengård in Sweden, added that the Super Falcons are hungry — not just for victory, but for redemption.

And knowing the Falcons’ legacy? This match no be child’s play.

This isn’t just a game. It’s a grudge match, a dream chase, and a shot at history for both sides.

Rematch Reloaded: Morocco Back for Vengeance

Let’s not forget — Morocco edged Nigeria in the 2022 semi-final on penalties. That game sent shockwaves across Africa. It wasn’t just about victory, it was about a new era knocking at the door.

Since then, Morocco has levelled up big time. With a Women’s Football Strategy launched in 2020, the Atlas Lionesseshave gone from underdogs to serious contenders.

Their journey to this final? Full of fire:

• 2–2 vs Zambia (twice came from behind)
• 4–2 vs DR Congo (Chebbak hat trick)
• 1–0 vs Senegal
• 3–1 vs Mali in the quarters
• And that nail-biting 4–2 penalty win over Ghana in the semis

Omo, they’ve been grinding! But with six goals conceded in five matches, Morocco’s defence still dey shake small.

Nigeria: Where Pressure Meets Pedigree

Nine finals. Nine wins. No one touches Nigeria when it comes to WAFCON history.

The Super Falcons didn’t just cruise to the final — they owned it:

• 3–0 vs Tunisia
• 1–0 vs Botswana
• 0–0 vs Algeria
• 5–0 demolition of Zambia
• 2–1 tactical masterclass vs South Africa

Only one goal conceded — and it came from a penalty.

Omo this defence be like concrete wall. Alozie, Ohale, Demehin, and Plumptre have locked it down, while Chiamaka Nnadozie has been almost too good to be true between the sticks.

On the other end, Nigeria’s attack has depth for days:

• 11 goals from 8 different players
• Esther Okoronkwo leads the assist chart
• Ajibade running things like a boss
• And yes, Oshoala may not have played much, but she’s still a trump card waiting to strike

Two Dreams, One Crown

Morocco wants to prove that 2022 wasn’t luck. They want to win their first WAFCON title in front of their fans. It would be the crowning moment of a national project that started from scratch.

Nigeria? They’ve been here before. Nine times. They’re not just chasing a 10th title — they’re trying to seal a dynasty.

Coach Madugu has made it clear — this team isn’t just about big names; it’s about smart football. Every game, every tactic, every switch has been calculated.

Final Word

Omo this final no be small thing! Morocco has the momentum, the fans, and the hunger. But Nigeria has the pedigree, the experience, and the badge of undefeated champions.

It’s not just about lifting a trophy. It’s about writing history.

Will Morocco rise on home soil? Or will the Super Falcons fly higher once again?

Saturday night will decide it all.

Omo, this one touch heart o! In a passionate post shared via his social media pages, Obi hailed the Falcons as “more than just a football team”, calling them symbols of unity, strength, and Nigerian excellence.

Obi’s Message to the Queens of the Continent

“You carry the hopes, dreams, and pride of an entire nation… You are the heartbeat of Nigeria,” he wrote.
“As you step onto the pitch tonight in Morocco, know that you are not alone. Go forth and conquer. Bring the trophy home!”

Omo this is going to hot! With words like these, even non-football fans are feeling the final fever.

Nigeria vs Morocco — It’s More Than Just a Match

The Super Falcons, led by Rasheedat Ajibade, are chasing a record 10th WAFCON title, and this time it’s against a fired-up Moroccan side playing at home.

But if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Nigeria no dey fear crowd or pressure.

Their road to the final hasn’t been smooth — from grinding past Zambia to that last-gasp 2-1 semi-final win over South Africa sealed by Michelle Alozie’s late strike. The Falcons have shown they can fight till the final whistle.

All Eyes on the Stars

With Chiamaka Nnadozie bossing the posts and leaders like Ajibade and Alozie rising to the moment, the Falcons are brimming with belief.

And now, with messages of support from across the nation — including Obi’s powerful tribute — the energy is right.

Final Thoughts:
Tonight’s game at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah is more than just football. It’s legacy. It’s pride. It’s Naija versus the noise.

And if the Super Falcons bring their A-game? Omo, history go repeat itself.

Omo! This one fit enter history book o. But before we dive into Saturday night’s drama, let’s take a quick rewind to five WAFCON finals that sealed Nigeria’s status as true queens of the continent.

1998 — Nigeria 2-0 Ghana (Ijebu Ode, Nigeria)

Home soil, packed crowd, and full vibes. The Falcons made a statement in Ijebu Ode, shutting out rivals Ghana with goals from Nkiru Okosieme and Stella Mbachu. That win didn’t just bring a trophy — it stamped Nigeria’s authority in African women’s football.

2000 — Nigeria 2-0 South Africa (Johannesburg, South Africa)

Omo this one sweet die. Winning is sweet, but winning in your rival’s backyard? Different feeling. Against Banyana Banyana in front of a South African crowd, Stella Mbachu and Olaitan Yusuf kept it cool and quieted the stadium with two classic strikes. It was Nigeria’s second WAFCON crown — and the first away from home.

2004 — Nigeria 5-0 Cameroon (South Africa)

This one na demolition. In one of their most dominant performances ever, Nigeria dismantled Cameroon in the 2004 final. Perpetua Nkwocha went crazy, bagging four goals — yes, four — while Vera Okolo added the cherry on top. A proper masterclass.

Omo! Cameroon no recover till today.

2010 — Nigeria 4-2 Equatorial Guinea (South Africa)

This final had everything — drama, goals, and redemption. Nigeria faced the defending champs and still came out on top. It was the first time the Falcons ever conceded in a final, but goals from Nkwocha, Oparanozie, and two own goals got the job done. A chaotic but sweet victory in Daveyton.

2018 — Nigeria 0-0 South Africa (4-3 pens, Accra, Ghana)

Omo this one na heart attack special. After 120 minutes of goalless football, the Falcons edged Banyana Banyana in a nerve-wracking penalty shootout. Tochukwu Oluehi was the hero with the decisive save. That win sealed Nigeria’s ninthtitle and gave sweet revenge for an earlier loss in the group stage.

Legacy of Dominance

From Ijebu Ode to Accra, the Super Falcons have never lost a WAFCON final — and that’s not small talk. Whether at home or away, whether against giants or dark horses, they’ve stood tall every time.

As they gear up to face Morocco this weekend, fans are hoping 2024 joins this legendary list. And if history is anything to go by — omo, Nigeria no dey joke with finals.

Speaking ahead of the blockbuster clash, the Swedish tactician — whose Ghanaian side fell 3-1 to Nigeria in a pre-tournament friendly — didn’t mince words when it came to his prediction.

“I think it’s going to be an interesting game. Both teams are a little different, but I think there is more quality in Nigeria,” he said.

Omo this is going to hot! Coming from a direct rival, this is a strong vote of confidence for Coach Justine Madugu’s girls.

Let’s not forget, Nigeria remains the most successful team in WAFCON history, with nine titles already in the bag — and they’re now just 90 minutes away from clinching a historic 10th.

With some of the best talents on the continent in their squad, the Super Falcons are heading into the final with both confidence and pedigree.

Will Morocco pull a surprise on home soil, or will Nigeria show them say this crown na our birthright?

Fingers crossed — kickoff go settle am.

Omo, this one go hot o!

The much-anticipated final is going down today at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, and Nigeria’s Super Falcons are just 90 minutes away from possibly lifting their 10th WAFCON title — a record-setting achievement that could shake the continent!

In a short video message shared via the Super Falcons’ official X (formerly Twitter) account, the First Lady didn’t hold back in showering the team with praise and powerful words of encouragement.

“My beautiful and lovely Super Falcons, I congratulate you and the officials for qualifying for the final,” she said.

“Your team spirit, determination, and professionalism have been outstanding. You are shining examples to girls in Nigeria and across Africa.

As you step out for the final match, I pray God crowns your efforts with victory. Make us proud. Nigerians and I are waiting to receive you with the trophy in your hands.”

Omo, if these girls carry this trophy ehn… e go loud!

According to reports, the Super Falcons have had a solid run — winning against Tunisia and Botswana, drawing against Algeria, thrashing Zambia 5-0 in the quarter-finals, and knocking out Banyana Banyana of South Africa 2-1 in the semis.

So far, they’ve scored 11 goals and conceded just once — talk about champions’ form!

All eyes are on Rabat tonight. Will the Super Falcons deliver?
