D'Tigress AfroBasket champions: Nigeria's female basketball players promised $100,000 cash award and apartment
Members of Nigeria's national female basketball team are to receive a cash reward of $100,000 (£75,000) each following their victory at the Fiba Women's AfroBasket Championship over the weekend in Ivory a special reception held in honour of the team, known as D'Tigress, Vice-President Kashim Shettima also promised each player a three-bedroom defeated Mali 78-64 on Sunday to win a record fifth consecutive AfroBasket title, which also secured them a spot at next year's Fiba Women's World Cup.A similar bonus was promised to the national female football team, the Super Falcons, last month after they won the recent Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon). Members of D'Tigress's coaching and technical crew were also promised $50,000 each and a flat."Nigerian women have never failed this nation in sports. From the Super Falcons standing tall on the world stage, to our athletes breaking records on the track, and D'Tigress building a basketball dynasty, our women have consistently made us proud," President Bola Tinubu said in a statement."To all our young people watching today, let the story of D'Tigress remind you that greatness is a product of hard work, discipline, and belief. Nigeria belongs to those who dare to dream and are willing to give their best to make those dreams a reality."There have been been mixed reactions to the promises of cash prizes - with some feeling it is unsustainable considering the country's troubled the question on the lips of most Nigerians is: how long will it take for them all to get their rewards?Previous promises like this have taken years to come to months ago, the government finally fulfilled its 31-year-old pledge to give houses to the 1994 Super Eagles football squad after they won the Africa Cup of Nations in members of that team, including Nigeria's all-time highest goal scorer Rashidi Yekini and then-captain Stephen Keshi, died before receiving the promised reward.

Israel Adesanya provides major update on UFC return and opens door to two mega fights amid fans' calls for retirement
ISRAEL ADESANYA is champing at the bit to return to the cage - despite some vocal fight fans calling for him to retire. The former long-reigning UFC middleweight champion is currently on a three-fight skid, the worst of his professional MMA career. 7 7 7 7 Back-to-back title fight defeats to Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis in September 2023 and last August put the Nigerian-born New Zealander in uncharted territory. And a shock second-round TKO loss to Nassourdine Imavov in February raised further doubts over the fan favourite's fighting future. Adesanya, 36, quickly dismissed the prospect of retirement but insisted he wouldn't rush back into the cage. But a brief period of R&R, 'The Last Stylebender' is "ready" to make the walk to the octagon again. In an exclusive interview with SunSport ahead of his induction into the UFC Hall of Fame, Adesanya said: "Oh yeah [the itch has returned]. 'I sparred with Kamaru [Usman] in Miami when Volk [Alexander Volkanovski] got his belt back. 'And that was my first sparring back. "I took some time out to just, you know, chill and let the brain relax. 7 'And yeah, I just knew straight away. So I've been itchy for a while, bro. I'm ready to go!' At this moment in time, there are two standout opponents for what many believe will be a must-win next outing for Adesanya. The first is fellow former 185lbs champion Strickland, who pulled off one of the biggest upsets in UFC history in their Sydney showdown two years ago. The second is the resurgent Paulo Costa, who got back to winning ways last month at UFC 318 against Roman Kopylov. Like the controversial and outspoken Strickland, Adesanya has history with Brazilian bruiser Costa. Adesanya emerged victorious from their clash of undefeated middleweights on Fight Island in September 2020, stopping 'Borrachina' in the second round of their Abu Dhabi dust-up. Rematches with both men intrigue the former champion, who recently told SunSport he's over the "halfway point" of his MMA career. 7 7 He said: "I think Paulo was going to fight this weekend. "If he had won, I bet you he would've said something stupid. "And I don't have to say much. I'd be like, 'Cool, alright, that sounds fun'. "And give him a chance at redemption like people have done for me as well. "And Strickland, if he wants to fight, sure. If not, ahh [shrugs his shoulders] it's alright."
