The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has advised Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that the coaches of the Super Falcons should have been rewarded more generously than the players.
Naija News reports that President Tinubu rewarded the Super Falcons players with $100,000 each and a three-bedroom home for every team member, following their stunning comeback win at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
In addition, each member of the technical team is expected to get $50,000, along with a three-bedroom apartment in the Renewed Hope Housing Estate.
President Tinubu announced the rewards during a reception at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where he also bestowed national honours on the players and officials.
During his Sunday service sermon at the Redeemed Christian Church of God earlier today, August 3, Pastor Adeboye expressed appreciation to the President for rewarding the players and coaches.
He, however, added that the Super Falcons players ought not to earn more than the coaches, stressing that the technical officials didn’t do less than the footballers. The 83-year-old pastor, who said he was a sportsman in his youth, stated that the players wouldn’t have won the WAFCON title without the wisdom of the coaches.
He said no matter how good the players are, if the coaches don’t tell them how to win, they might not be able to do much, stressing that it is the technical inputs of the tacticians that win games.
Pastor Adeboye said, “You need a coach to win; coaches have the knowledge and wisdom required to win. If you don’t know how to win, you will lose.”
He added, “To be a part of the winning team in life, you must know how to win. You need wisdom. Wisdom is better than strength.”
