As 2026 begins, I’m reflecting on the road that brought me here. From a medical setback to the World Cup—every broken barrier was worth it. This year is about showing the world the limitless potential of African women. The best is yet to come. 🇳🇬🛷

🇳🇬 𝙐𝙋𝘿𝘼𝙏𝙀: Kaduna is setting the tone for a stronger futsal ecosystem in Nigeria as 32 teams took part in a one-day capacity-building seminar ahead of the maiden National Futsal Super League.

The session coordinated by Shamsudeen Tijanni Yusuf equipped coaches, players and match officials with the latest futsal laws, rules and competition organisation standards, with technical support led by Musa Dung Davou, a CAF/FIFA-accredited futsal referee.

That is why the National Sports Commission is actively ready to support initiatives that align with RHINSE programmes that deepen participation, raise standards, and deliver sustainable sport development outcomes nationwide.

One thing Nigerians don’t admit: Most people are not bad with money. They’re just spending their income fixing problems the government should have solved. Generator. Water. Security. Transport. You’re not irresponsible, you’re privately funding a broken system.
