Cecelia Omorogbe, a sports analyst, discovered a significant difference between the Falcons’ and Eagles’ comfort and availability. Despite the resources at their disposal, she emphasized the Falcon’s resolve to succeed.
On Monday’s episode of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, she made a direct comparison between Nigeria’s male and female national teams.
She said, “Resilience is what men need.” They are “absolutely at their disposal.” These girls show up even though they don’t. They play to demonstrate their wealth rather than seek relevance. Women also require women’s support before and after they win.
The Super Falcons won the 10-year Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title last Saturday, putting an end to what the team and staff had called “Mission X,” their tenth African championship championships goal, under great pressure.
The team’s performance was praised as commendable and a result of hunger, resilience, and team unity, according to Omorogbe, Channels TV’s sports correspondent who covered the tournament in Casablanca, Morocco.

She praised head coach Justine Pwanidi Madugu’s ability to change quickly throughout the tournament and his tactical discipline.
Omorogbe instead thanked each player who had a significant impact on the team’s performance when asked to name her player of the match.
Every girl who played a significant role, she said. She said, “The synergy and the desire to win were present.”
She praised Asisat Oshoala and Rasheedat Ajibade for their maturity and selflessness, as well as Rasheedat Ajibade for their leadership both on and off the pitch. She said, “This is someone who gave the other girls the opportunity to shine.”
She deserves more praise than I would like to give her. She made the comment about Ajibade.
Omoregbe praised Esther Okoronkwo for her contribution in difficult circumstances, claiming that the entire team remained unified even in the face of hostility.
These girls have resilience, they say. She referred to the difficulties the host nation and other nations faced in previous matches as “resilience, hunger.”
She noted that the majority of the current players are unlikely to leave the country soon, which could hold them until at least until the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup or the next WAFCON.
Omorogbe urged deliberate investment in Nigerian women’s football in response to structural gaps.
