Nigerian music star Davido is back in the spotlight, this time for a winning bet placed on the Super Eagles’ opening match at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Ahead of Nigeria’s clash with Tanzania in Group C, Davido reportedly staked $25,000 on a bold prediction that both teams would score during the encounter.
Super Eagles deliver a 2–1 victory
The match, played in Fes, Morocco, lived up to expectations. Nigeria struck first before Tanzania responded in the second half to draw level.
The Super Eagles, however, regained control when Ademola Lookman fired home the decisive goal, sealing a 2–1 victory in Nigeria’s AFCON opener.
The result not only secured three crucial points for Nigeria but also ensured Davido’s prediction landed successfully.
Big payday after final whistle
With both teams finding the net as predicted, Davido reportedly walked away with a payout of $96,564, turning his pre-match gamble into a significant win.
The outcome sparked widespread reactions on social media, with fans praising both the Super Eagles’ performance and Davido’s football instincts.
Nigeria will now look to build momentum in their next Group C fixture as the AFCON campaign continues.
