Afrobeats megastar and DMW Records boss Davido has proven his instincts are just as sharp in sports as they are in music, securing a massive payout after staking a wager on the Super Eagles’ recent AFCON Group C encounter against Tanzania.
The singer predicted that both teams would score (BTTS) in the fixture held at Fez, Morocco. His forecast proved spot-on as Nigeria secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Taifa Stars on Tuesday.
Match Highlights and the Winning Goal
Nigeria dominated possession for large periods of the match but faced an early scare when Tanzania took a surprise lead against the run of play. The Super Eagles eventually fought back to level the scores, setting the stage for a dramatic finish.
The decisive moment came late in the game when a strike from Ademola Lookman found the back of the net, ensuring all three points for Nigeria and confirming Davido’s winning ticket.
The Payout
Reports indicate that Davido’s successful prediction earned him a hefty return on investment. The singer reportedly walked away with a payout of $96,564 (approximately ₦150 million).
Group C Standings
The comeback victory puts Nigeria in a commanding position in Group C as they continue their quest for a fourth Africa Cup of Nations title. The morale in the camp is reportedly high following the win and the high-profile support from one of the continent’s biggest stars.
The Super Eagles’ performance in Morocco signals a strong start to their campaign, with fans and investors alike keeping a close eye on their progress toward the knockout stages.
