What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Uganda had their work cut out facing Nigeria, despite having won the sides’ fixture in the Group Phase, with today’s victory coming as sweet revenge.

The 2010 silver medallists, Nigeria, won one game in the Group Phase, a 107-30 outcome against Zimbabwe, but got a second chance at fighting for the title after making the Last Eight as one of the two best third-place finishers.

A rematch in the quarters against Egypt, a side Nigeria lost 72-60 to in the group phase, saw the West Africans turn the tables to beat the Pharaohs 66-51 when it mattered and advanced.

While the Juliana Ojoshogu Negedu-led Nigeria fought for a similar feat against the East Africans, coach Omondi, who has already improved Uganda’s ranking from the last edition, was on a mission of his own as the side looked to make the podium for the first time.

Statistically, Nigeria held a slight advantage over Uganda, with the scoring battle expected to be led by Idubamo Beggi and Abigail Isaac for the former and Resty Nanangwe, Modesta Anyango, and Mia Belinda for the Ugandans.
