Yobe’s Golden Girls Shine Globally — But Federal Recognition Still Missing!
Three brilliant students from Yobe State — Nafisa Abdullahi Aminu, Rukayya Muhammad Fema, and Hadiza Kashim Kalli — have brought Nigeria international glory by winning top awards at the 2025 TeenEagle Global Finals in London, triumphing over tens of thousands of contestants from nearly 70 countries in English language mastery, debate, and talent showcase.
While Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni has pledged a grand reception, the Federal Government’s response has been limited to words of praise from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu — without tangible rewards like scholarships, housing, or national honours.
This has sparked nationwide debate and online outrage, with prominent Nigerians like Atiku Abubakar and Isa Ali Pantami urging the government to honour the trio as national heroes — just as the Super Falcons and D’Tigress were rewarded with cash, homes, and honours after sporting victories.
Critics say the lack of recognition fuels perceptions of northern marginalisation, especially as the girls hail from conflict-affected Yobe. Supporters argue it shouldn’t be turned into a regional fight, but the controversy adds to growing political tension over perceived neglect of the North.
