Music Star’s $25,000 Gamble on Super Eagles Match Pays Off After 2-1 Victory Against Tanzania
Nigerian music icon Davido is celebrating a massive win far from the recording studio. The global star turned a confident prediction about the national football team into a windfall of over $96,000 during the Africa Cup of Nations.
Ahead of Nigeria’s crucial Group C opener against Tanzania, Davido placed a bold $25,000 bet, specifically wagering that both teams would score. He expressed faith in an exciting, back-and-forth match rather than a one-sided affair.
The Super Eagles delivered the exact drama he banked on. In a tense match in Fes, Morocco, Nigeria struck first, but Tanzania clawed back to level the score in the second half. The suspense ended when Ademola Lookman fired home the decisive goal, sealing a 2-1 victory for Nigeria.
The final scoreline validated Davido’s gamble perfectly. His successful bet reportedly earned a payout of $96,564, transforming his spirited support into a hugely profitable venture.
The news sparked celebrations online, with fans cheering the team’s resilient performance and praising Davido’s lucky—or perhaps shrewd—football intuition. For the superstar, supporting the Super Eagles proved to be an investment with a spectacular return.
