President Tinubu Praises Timi Dakolo’s Stirring Performance at Super Falcons Celebration

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has heaped praises on soul singer Timi Dakolo for his moving performance during the reception concert held in Abuja to honour the Super Falcons, who recently lifted their record 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title.

In a heartfelt message posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday, August 1, the President applauded both Dakolo and the triumphant national team, calling the performance a symbol of national unity and pride.

🎶 Music Meets Triumph

Timi Dakolo performed one of his signature patriotic songs — a soulful anthem that echoed themes of hope, unity, and rebuilding Nigeria. The moment added a powerful emotional layer to the celebration of the Super Falcons’ epic 3–2 comeback victory over hosts Morocco in the WAFCON final.

President Tinubu shared the lyrics of the performance, emphasizing its message:

"Though we are many people… Different tribes. Different tongues... We are united in our strength... Our hope remains renewed. Bet on Nigeria.”

🏆 Reception Fit for Champions

The concert was part of a grand reception hosted by President Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, celebrating the team’s heroics at the Stade Olympique, Rabat, on Saturday, July 26.

The Falcons, who rallied from two goals down, showcased the type of resilience and unity that Dakolo’s performance beautifully mirrored.

🧠 Opinion: Music as a Bridge Between Nation and Emotion

Timi Dakolo has long been known for his deep, inspirational music, but this performance — delivered in the presence of national champions — struck a particularly emotional chord. It was not just a tribute to the Super Falcons, but a reminder of the strength in Nigeria’s diversity and the enduring power of art to unite a nation.
