Ex‑D’Tigress standout Theresa Dangosu has sharply criticized the handling of Nigeria’s preparations for the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket, set to begin on July 25 in Abidjan.
Dangosu lamented persistent administrative issues that she said reflect “incompetence and poor leadership.”

She underscored the financial neglect of female athletes, which she believes forces some to switch allegiances, and demanded decisive corrective action.
She emphasized that athletes cannot be expected to perform under such conditions and that recurring internal problems are unacceptable.
Ex‑D’Tigress star Dangosu’s comments resonate with past frustrations from players who described a lack of recognition and support compared to Nigeria’s success in continental basketball.
She urged sports authorities to resolve funding shortfalls and organizational inefficiencies to ensure athletes are fully supported and ready for AfroBasket.
Her public challenge comes amid growing concern over whether current administrative lapses might imperil Nigeria’s chances of securing a historic fifth straight continental title.
