The Presidency has come to the defense of President Tinubu’s $150,000 gift to the Super Falcons, citing the ₦150 million prize money for the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality show as a justification for the gesture. This move has sparked controversy, with many questioning the logic behind using a reality TV show prize as a benchmark for government spending.
Critics argue that the gift is extravagant and unnecessary, especially considering the country’s economic challenges. However, the Presidency maintains that the gift is a celebration of Nigerian excellence and a motivation for the team.
