Tinubu Congratulates Lookman, Nnadozie, and Super Falcons for Winning CAF Awards 2024
President Bola Tinubu has extended heartfelt congratulations to Super Eagles forward, Ademola Lookman, for being named the 2024 CAF Men’s African Footballer of the Year.
The Super Eagles star’s performance throughout the year has not only elevated his game but has also brought honor to Nigeria.
President Tinubu praised Super Falcons goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, for securing the CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year award.
These awards, announced on Monday night at the Palais des Congrès in Marrakech, Morocco, hold significant weight in African football, as they celebrate the best and brightest talents the continent has to offer.
President Tinubu, in his congratulatory message, expressed his pride in the accomplishments of Lookman, Nnadozie, and the Super Falcons, describing them as true ambassadors of Nigeria.
‘‘These athletes truly represent the heart and soul of Nigeria,’’ the President stated.
‘‘Their success on the field reflects the best of what we stand for as a nation.
We should never underestimate the power of persistence and passion, these athletes are proof that Nigeria’s potential is limitless.’’
“Their achievements speak volumes about the talent that exists within our country,’’ the President said.
‘‘They have shown us that no dream is too big, no challenge insurmountable. This is just the beginning.’’
He emphasized that the Nigerian government will continue to support and invest in the sports sector.
‘‘I am incredibly proud of their accomplishments,’’ President Tinubu concluded.
‘‘Thank you, Lookman, Nnadozie, and the Super Falcons, for making Nigeria proud on the global stage.
You have set the bar high, and we have no doubt you will continue to achieve even greater success.
Your victories inspire us all, and we look forward to more medal wins, both at home and abroad. The future is yours.’’
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
