Abdul Samad Rabiu, Chairman and Founder of BUA Group, promised the Nigerian Super Eagles USD $1 million if they win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final, in addition to USD $100,000 for each goal scored in the final.
Rabiu, Nigeria�s second-wealthiest man with a fortune of $9.8 billion, shared on X: �Congratulations to our Super Eagles players on a brilliant victory against Algeria! You have lifted the spirit of the nation, and we proudly cheer you on as you prepare for the semi-finals.�
�To encourage you, I pledge USD $500,000 to the players upon winning the semi-final, with an additional USD $50,000 for every goal scored. Should you go on to win the final, I further pledge USD $1,000,000, plus USD $100,000 for each goal scored in the final.�
Am very proud to see that the super eagles are been successful and are been supported by this one man and to me this is how to encourage people not just making them to feel discouraged i feel this is what the NFF should be doing right now and our so called government should be also boosting their efforts in playing well for the quarterfinals, when I came across such news it was really a great idea to boost their confidence and moral let all keep supporting them in anyway way we can�
https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/leaders/nigerian-billionaire-abdul-samad-rabiu-promises-super-eagles-dollar1m-and/dryrkz1#google_vignette I don't like this for one second, pure set up, see is good to motivate these guys but since they started motivating the Super Eagles how far have they gone? This is a period of full concentration no distraction that may attract confusion in the squad. No joking around should be the theme of the Eagles and now they want to support them with money? I hope this doesn't get to their head because I so much love how the Eagles are playing without any form of promises by these messed up politicians, if they want to motivate the Super Eagles they should go to the NFF and speak to them about all these owing and all that, payment of bonuses is a must and no story, we have gone this far to get distracted by money motivation, they need it but anything that would start making them dropping this awesome performance they should put it aside, for me until they win the AFCON everybody should hold their money first.
