Dr. Folashade Olukoya, wife of the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire & Miracles Ministries (MFM), has issued an inspiring challenge to the MFM Women Basketball Club: head to Cairo, Egypt, defeat the continent's finest, and return home as African champions.

This charge came in a congratulatory message following the team's qualification for the prestigious 2026 FIBA Africa Women Basketball League Africa (WBLA) Finals, set to take place in Cairo this December.

Affectionately known as "Mommy GO" by MFM members, Dr. Olukoya expressed immense pride in the squad's stellar campaign.

 “Tell the girls that I’m very proud and happy with their wonderful performances. I am confident they’re going to Cairo to beat whoever is the best and they will come back as the best women team in Africa,” she stated.

“Their hard work, focus, and dedication have seen them conquer their opponents and taken them to the big stage where they’re now contending with the best on the continent.”

Recalling feedback from the team’s Director, Bro Godwin Enakhena, regarding their journey to becoming Nigerian league champions, Dr. Olukoya reminded the players to always prioritize faith:

 “It shows that if you put God first in all you do in life, He will show up when your strength fails you. In fact, He will renew your strength.”

The Nigerian champions earned their spot after a dominant run in Monrovia, Liberia, where they won four out of five matches. Their stellar performance secured them the sole West African regional ticket to fly the sub-region's flag at the WBLA Finals, scheduled for December 11–20, 2026, in Cairo.

In a touching display of gratitude, the players, coaching staff, and management unanimously dedicated their historic qualification to Dr. Olukoya, praising her maternal devotion and continuous support.

"This qualification is a direct result of the love, prayers, and constant care showered upon us by Mummy, Dr. Folashade Olukoya," the team shared after the final whistle in Monrovia. "She ensures we lack nothing and that our needs are fully met. Dedicating this ticket to Cairo to her is our way of saying thank you for being an exceptional mother to the entire team."

With their primary objective achieved, the Folashade Olukoya Queens have turned their full attention to intensive preparations as they gear up for the ultimate test of African club basketball this coming December.
