Nigeria’s D’Tigers fell to an 82-79 defeat against South Sudan on Friday, August 28, marking their second consecutive loss in the second round of the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup African Qualifiers. Held at the Salle Multidisciplinaire de Radès in Radès, Tunisia, the narrow three-point victory for the Bright Stars—who fended off a fierce late surge from Nigeria—greatly complicates the D’Tigers’ path toward securing a spot at the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
South Sudan set the early tone, capitalizing on a 9-0 run late in the first quarter to erase a 15-14 deficit and surge ahead to a 30-19 advantage by the end of the period. However, Nigeria slowly clawed their way back into the contest. Sparked by Caleb Agada, a 7-0 scoring burst bridging the second and third quarters transformed a 43-41 deficit into a 48-43 lead with 9:08 left in the third.
The game ultimately turned into a nail-biting finish as the Bright Stars clawed back control. Okogie briefly tied the game at 70-70 with a three-pointer with 7:03 remaining, but Wenyen Gabriel answered back 21 seconds later with a hook shot to reclaim the lead for South Sudan, who managed to hold on until the final buzzer.
Statistically, South Sudan was propelled by Marial Shayok’s stellar line of 19 points, six rebounds, four assists, and three steals, alongside 13 points from Nuni Omot and a near triple-double of 11 points, 12 assists, and eight rebounds by Carlik Jones. For Nigeria, Okogie led the scoring charge with 14 points, eight rebounds, and two assists, though his contributions weren’t enough to avert the narrow defeat.
This setback follows a previous 78-62 loss to Cameroon on Wednesday during their second-round opener, leaving D’Tigers under heavy pressure ahead of a decisive matchup against Cape Verde on Sunday.

Emphasizing that public resources ought to be channeled into critical sectors like healthcare and education rather than maintaining such an office, Obi stated: “I shut down (the) office of the first lady; I said it should not exist. Because nobody voted for you, you’re just my wife, and I love you. So you stay at home with me.”
