NIGERIAN Billionaire, Abdul Samad Rabiu, reportedly pledged significant cash bonuses to motivate the Super Eagles ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash against host nation Morocco.
Stonix News reports that Rabiu, Chairman of BUA Group, announced a $500,000 reward for a victory, with an additional $50,000 promised for every goal scored in the match.
The pledge was disclosed in a message posted on X following Nigeria’s 2–0 victory over Algeria in Marrakech, a win that secured the Super Eagles a place in the last four of the tournament.
Rabiu further revealed that he would reward the team with $1 million if Nigeria goes on to win the AFCON title, alongside a bonus of $100,000 for each goal scored in the final.
Nigeria, three-time AFCON champions, will take on Morocco on Wednesday, January 14, as the tournament enters its semi-final stage.
