Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has commended the Super Falcons following their remarkable comeback win against Morocco in Rabat.
Trailing by two goals, the Nigerian women’s national team rallied with a composed and clinical performance that stunned the home crowd and sealed a dramatic victory.
In a lyrical and poetic tribute shared on social media, Osinbajo described the match as a reflection of Nigeria’s unyielding spirit, praising the Falcons for playing “with fire in their feet and faith in their future.”
His message has drawn widespread attention for its vivid imagery, national pride, and eloquent celebration of the team’s resilience.
Read Osinbajo’s tribute below:
Well… I trust someone gently warned Morocco. When Nigeria arrives quietly, it is often because we intend to leave with all the noise.
What happened tonight in Rabat was vintage Naija. Two goals down. A stadium roaring. But our @nigeriasuperfalcons ? They did not panic. They adjusted their wings.
Okoronkwo stepped up and converted the penalty with the composure of someone solving a constitutional crisis. Ijamilusi brought us level. Calm. Clinical. Confident. And just when Morocco thought the drama had peaked, Echegini delivered a set piece that felt like it was signed, sealed, and sent from Abuja.
Three goals. One comeback written with resolve. And a trophy that now tells its own story in green white green.
We play with fire in our feet and faith in our future. Because we may bend, but we never break.
And in case the world needs a reminder… Naija no dey carry last.
Congratulations @nigeriasuperfalcons.
