My goal has not been just to give you more information but to create a hunger within you ,to awaken that desire to seek to witness the fantastic performance of the “MFM women basketball team”.Though they need to press in for more progression, for growth, for more. More so because they use to be a defending champion in 2003,2004 and was in third place best in 2005 so their recent swiftness is an evidence of their long time coming plan to get back to the podium as the champion in this year Zenith bank women basketball league, the top of its kind in Nigeria, because the challenging teams also desire winning and need to defend their president interest.

By measure the performance of the MFM team is supreme from all I have seen in the tournament, made up of some of the finest and fast paced young women among every other players I had witness in this game.

But this I think can be secondary reason why the MFM women basketball players are fantastic fast paced team, the MFM basketball academy is a great system because it is designed to scale performance by drilling player’s strength through fasting and prayers. Coach, Oladele Akinwonjowo affirmed that our players were made to play in matches severally while fasting; our players go to the prayer city to also partake in the 70 days fasting and prayers and every other prayer programs. He said, there are challenges in life both physical and spiritual, but really, with challenges comes opportunities, so we know by now and equipped our players with both physical and spiritual ready for the feat.

And we know that everyone is motivated to get as much as they can of safety, security, comfort, leisure, love, respect, and fulfillment so they are encouraged and released to pursue international deal in the course of their career, so he cannot tell what the age bracket of the oldest player is when asked, as they already have most of their players in the diaspora.

Coach Oladele noted that, all matches of this year’s Atlantic women basketball game shall be held in Lagos and port-Harcourt and the best four teams in the final phase match shall come up in Lagos state at the

Surulere, National stadium indoor game Auditorium on the 22nd of August 2026.
