Afrobeats superstar Davido is betting big on the Super Eagles, boldly forecasting a crushing 3-0 victory for Nigeria over host nation Morocco in the final of the 2025 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations.
Putting His Money Where His Mouth Is
Fresh off his performance at the opening ceremony, the singer has backed his confidence with cash. He reportedly placed a high-stakes combo bet on Nigeria’s Group C opener against Tanzania, scheduled for December 23 at the Fez Stadium.
The wager carries odds of 3.86 and promises a potential payout of $96,500, underscoring his strong belief in the national team’s chances.
Jet-Setting Hustle
Davido’s schedule has been nothing short of relentless. Immediately after lighting up the AFCON stage in Morocco, he jetted off to Sierra Leone for a concert and has reportedly already returned to Nigeria for yet another performance.
Social media users have hailed his work ethic, with rumors circulating that his paycheck for the AFCON opening alone was no less than one million dollars.
A Good Omen?
Fans and analysts are hoping the superstar’s optimism rubs off on the team as the Super Eagles prepare to navigate a difficult group that includes Tunisia, Tanzania, and Uganda.
