In a series of posts, WNBA assistant coach Abiola Juwon has made some shocking revelations about D'Tigress.

While the country is riding high on being the first African team to progress to the quarterfinals of the Olympics in basketball there are some administrative issues.
According to Juwon who works with the WNBA side the Connecticut Sun, Coach Rena Wakama has not been able to pay her assistant coaches.
Juwon was part of the coaching crew with D'Tigress to the Olympics and stated that weeks after the tournament coaches have not been paid.
)
She said, "Nigeria, @dtigressofficial @fiba @olympics @espnw. To go to the Olympics and experience something my Father did with the USA was a dream.
"I wanted to be at the Opening Ceremony since I was 8 at the Atlanta Olympics, but Nigeria denied women’s basketball and then had the Minister tell us we are young enough to go to the next one.
)
"Assistant Coaches put blood sweat and tears to making sure players accomplished history. Assistants coaches scouting Germany, Serbia, Japan, Australia, France, Canada, and USA losing by 14 now (not 60 in February)helped @_coachre Rena Wakama get coach of the year with @fiba.
"To now lie and not pay your coaches for their work and want to keep my money for the 3 games before the Olympics because I work in the @wnba is sad.
"It sad players (the one who got paid) got less then what was promised by the Ministry.
)
"It is Also sad that the Assistant coaches aren’t getting our money (that was promised) at all and are now being Ignored. We made history… Give what was Promised.
In another post, she added, that she was removed from a group.
She said, "Asking for updates for over two weeks about payment of Allowances and being Ignored privately and in the group text….
)
"Is the solution to Pay your assistant coaches there “Allowances” for there work???? Nope! Have the Head Coach remove you from the group chat. @fiba #yourcoachoftheyear. I’m ok with speaking up when others are scared too.
"They said I should receive confirmation of what was allotted for staff l, but I guess they will let me know a different way."
Rena Wakama is yet to respond to these accusations as Pulse Sports will continue to monitor developments.
