PRESS RELEASE:

Ahmedu Mourns Victoria Macaulay’s Father, Recalls His Passion for D’Tigress Star

D’Tigress star Victoria Macauley, representing Nigeria, was never just about basketball. It was also a journey her father, Lanre Macauley, followed with pride and unwavering affection.

That bond has come into focus following the death of Mr. Macauley in the United States after an illness, with FIBA Africa Zone 3 President and Executive Committee Member, Colonel Sam Ahmedu (Rtd), joining the basketball family in mourning the loss.

In a message to Victoria and the Macaulelay family, Ahmedu described the late Lanre as a devoted father whose passion for Nigeria extended to following his daughter’s exploits whenever she wore the national colours.

“He was very passionate about Nigeria and loved to travel and watch you represent this country across the globe,” Ahmedu said, while urging Victoria to hold firmly to the memories they created together.

The basketball administrator also highlighted what he described as a unique bond between father and daughter: the fact that they shared the same birthday.

Victoria’s journey with D’Tigress began at the 2019 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket in Dakar, Senegal, where she joined the national team under American coach Otis Hughley.

Since then, she has remained a regular presence on the national team, combining her international career with a professional journey that has taken her through the WNBA and European basketball.

After graduating from Temple University, Macaulay began her WNBA career with the Indiana Fever in 2013 and subsequently played for the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun. She later continued her career in Europe, including a stint with Turkish giants Galatasaray.

He prayed that Victoria and her family would find the strength to endure the loss, while encouraging her to draw comfort from the life, love, and memories her father left behind.

Victoria Macaulay, a player who has spent years making her country proud on basketball courts around the world, found that the passing of the man who proudly watched that journey represents a deeply personal loss.

What I Learned About Myself ……

I realized I’ve been away from coaching a team for too long. On the bright side, I got to showcase my skills on a big stage. However, I noticed that our approach to the game and game day isn’t quite up to par with the “Big Dogs” (USA, Germany, France, Spain). We’re doing the right things, but we need to do more of it.

I also discovered that I’ve gained a new coaching family, and it’s truly wonderful. I’m looking forward to what the summer holds.

Finally, the most rewarding thing I’ve learned is about the ladies of Nigeria who gave me a chance a few months ago, only for me to go to camp and now participate in the FIBA Women’s World Cup. They accepted me with open arms and love, and it’s incredibly hard to believe in a new performance and strength coach, but you all did!!! I promise you that I’m going to provide you with all the tools you need to succeed for our future.

A Quick Recap!

Reflective & Resilient:
Highs, lows, and invaluable lessons in Berlin. Berlin tested us, taught us, and made us hungrier. Thank you for all the love and support! Falling short in the group stage hurts, but every setback is just setup for the comeback. Heads held high, eyes on the future.
