Summary: President Bola Tinubu has praised Team Nigeria’s outstanding performance at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, where our athletes returned home with a jaw-dropping 24 medals. Here’s everything you need to know.
E don happen! Team Nigeria has done the nation proud once again, and this time, the stage was Glasgow, Scotland — home of the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially showered our hardworking athletes with well-deserved accolades after they stormed the international arena and returned with a stunning 24-medal haul*, reminding the whole world that Nigeria is not here to play — well, we are here to play, but more importantly, *we are here to WIN.
Tinubu Hails Team Nigeria
The President wasted no time in congratulating the delegation, acknowledging the sweat, sacrifice, and sheer determination that went into every single medal won on that Glasgow track, field, and court.
In the kind of performance that makes you want to blast “Naija no dey carry last” from your car speakers all the way down the Third Mainland Bridge, Team Nigeria showed up, showed out, and made every Nigerian — from Aba to Abuja, from Kano to Lagos Island — stand tall with pride.
24 Medals and Counting — Nigeria Represents!
Twenty-four medals is no small thing, abeg. While some countries were still warming up, our athletes were already collecting hardware like it was Black Friday at Shoprite.
This kind of result doesn’t happen by accident. It is the fruit of consistent training, unshakeable belief, and that special Nigerian spirit — that “we go do am” energy that no amount of hardship can extinguish.
A Nation United in Pride
Moments like these remind us of what we can achieve when we come together as one Nigeria. No tribe, no religion, no political affiliation — just green-white-green and the burning desire to make our country proud.
From the wrestling mats to the athletics tracks, our men and women gave everything they had on the international stage, carrying the Nigerian flag with honour and dignity.
What’s Next for Team Nigeria?
With this kind of momentum, the future is looking very bright for Nigerian sports. The 2026 Commonwealth Games performance should serve as a strong foundation and a confidence booster ahead of future international competitions, including the Olympics.
To every athlete, coach, official, and supporter who played a role in this achievement — e dey sweet us well well. You have made Mother Nigeria proud, and that is something no one can take away from you.
As we say in this great country: Nigeria go always dey! 🇳🇬
