FG Rewards D’Tigress With OON, Each Player Gets Flat, $100,000 by InfoGuru118(op): 6:14pm On Aug 04, 2025

The Federal Government has rewarded D’Tigress, Nigeria’s female basketball team, with Order of the Niger (OON) national honours, with each of the players getting $100,000 and a flat, News360 Nigeria reports.

This was announced when President Bola Tinubu hosted the team on Monday evening following their unprecedented fifth consecutive #AfroBasketWomen victory.

In the final on Sunday, Nigeria edged out Mali 78-64 in a tense showdown, displaying resilience and composure to claim their seventh AfroBasket title.

Last week, the President conferred similar national honours and gifts on the Super Falcons for winning Nigeria’s 10th title of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco.

Congratulations to the ladies. I don't understand why sane people would criticise such gestures. They have made the country proud and should be rewarded.

If you don't reward them, politicians who don't add any value will still loot the money anyways. Now, which is better?

They wish they were the ones getting the money.... some aren't happy seeing people getting rich, as if the government gives them the money they won't reject it.... they're just envious.

Those who know how to grumble should grumble. If you don't do this, they will say you are not encouraging them. If you do it, they will say it's wastefulness.

When they grow old and face poverty due to their life choices, these same people will blame the government for not supporting them.

Yes, that's the way it should be. Nigeria should be a country that rewards hard work, not a place where criminals with pens become overnight billionaires without enterprises.

God bless the President for being impartial supporter of sports. Not only football.

With this gesture,he has silenced his critics who felt it was only footballers he was appreciating.

I am blushing for your kind support to Nigerian sportsmen.

Keep it up!

Congratulations 👏 to the team and Nigerian sports generally.

Seems this man doesn't know majority of the masses/citizens are now wallowing in extreme and unprecedented poverty.
An excellent manipulator, A badass Political Machiavellian with a solid mastery of "Grab it and run with it " but a terrible insensitive leader.

However 2027 will not be Uhuru for him.
