The Presidency has justified President Bola Tinubu’s $150,000 reward to the Super Falcons, describing it as a well-earned gesture—especially when compared to the ₦150 million prize given to winners of the Big Brother Naija reality show. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, addressed criticism from some Nigerians over the president’s generosity towards the women’s national football team. In a tweet on Tuesday, Onanuga defended the reward by drawing a comparison with the reality show’s winnings, noting that some citizens failed to recognize the value of the President’s gesture to the triumphant Super Falcons. He wrote: “When you remember that Multichoice, the organizer of the BBNaija reality show, is offering the winner ₦150 million grand prize, you wonder why some Nigerians are unappreciative of President Tinubu’s rewards to the Super Falcons. President Tinubu has rewarded excellence, creativity, hard work, soccer artistry and the undying Nigerian spirit.”
