Nigeria’s women basketball team, D’Tigress have devoured all oppositions to emerge African champions for the first time since emerging victorious in Abuja 12 years ago.

The Nigerian side beat Senegal 65-48 in Mali to become the new African champions and heading for the World Cup in Spain as the undisputed continental leaders.

In so doing, they have set the pace for the men’s football team, the Super Eagles who must be turbo-charged as they confront Cameroon in twin destiny-shaping encounters in the next nine days.

What a feat by D’Tigress! On their way to wearing the continental crown, they played eight matches and won all.
