💨 Abstract
Nigeria's Super Falcons won their 10th Women's Africa Cup of Nations title despite poor preparation and payment issues. President Bola Tinubu praised the team and gifted them, but analysts point out institutional mismanagement and underfunding, especially of women's soccer. The team's success highlights a broader problem in Nigerian sports, with corruption and mismanagement leading athletes to consider representing other countries. While the Nigerian women's team dominates African soccer, they lack global success due to insufficient investment.
