The superstar singer has officially staked a staggering $25,000 (approximately ₦36 million) on the Super Eagles to deliver in their opening match against Tanzania tomorrow, December 23, 2025
Davido didn’t just bet on a simple win. According to the betting slip shared from the Stake app, OBO is predicting a high-scoring affair. He placed his money on “Both Teams to Score,” a move that shows he expects an aggressive offensive display from both the Super Eagles and the Taifa Stars.
- The Stake: $25,000 (₦36 Million)
- The Potential Payout: $96,564 (Approx. ₦140 Million)
- The Caption: “Let’s get this W Nigeria,” he posted, instantly triggering thousands of reactions from fans and football enthusiasts.
This isn’t Davido’s first time putting major “skin in the game.” Fans quickly reminded the singer of his previous high-stakes wager—a $10,000 bet on Nigeria’s World Cup playoff against Gabon earlier this year. Unfortunately, the Super Eagles lost that match, and Davido lost the cash.
While some fans are hailing him as the “National Motivator,” others are more cautious, jokingly begging him not to “jinx” the team. However, as a global brand ambassador for Stake, many industry insiders see this as a masterful blend of personal passion and high-level marketing.
The Super Eagles enter tomorrow’s match at the Complexe Sportif de Fès as heavy favorites. Ranked 38th in the world compared to Tanzania’s 112th, Nigeria is looking for redemption after the heartbreak of missing the 2026 World Cup.
With a frontline featuring Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, the expectations are sky-high. If Nigeria wins and both teams find the back of the net, Davido won’t just be celebrating a national victory—he’ll be ₦140 million richer.
The bet comes on the heels of what many are calling the best AFCON opening ceremony in history. Davido and French Montana performed the official tournament soundtrack, a fusion of Afrobeats and Maghreb hip-hop that symbolizes the unity of the continent.
