the feat means a lot to the country.

football event at the Olympics.
“Congratulations our Super Falcons @NGSuper_Falcons,” Tinubu

“Ending a 16-year Olympic jinx is no small feat, and your
perseverance and commitment have truly paid off. Your hard work, resilience,
and team spirit have brought glory to Nigeria and inspired countless young
girls across the country to pursue their dreams fearlessly.
“I am so proud of all your achievements.
Your journey doesn’t end here; it’s just the beginning of an
even greater adventure.
“Make Nigeria proud, Super Falcons! Bring home the gold!
