The atmosphere has intensified ahead of the much-anticipated clash between Nigeria and Morocco. In a gesture that underscores the crucial importance of this duel, a Nigerian billionaire has decided to pull out all the stops to motivate the Green Eagles.
The renowned businessman Abdul Samad Rabiu has officially promised a staggering bonus of $500,000 to the Nigerian team in the event of a victory against the Atlas Lions, marking one of the most spectacular reward promises in the history of Nigerian football and perhaps on the African continent.
– 10.JAN.2026 –
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… pic.twitter.com/QEHiiXO8vL

This generosity does not stop at the victory bonus. To transform the Nigerian attack into a true juggernaut, Abdul Samad Rabiu has added an additional particularly enticing clause: each goal scored against the Moroccan defense will earn a bonus of $50,000. This strategy clearly aims to encourage maximum risk-taking on the field, turning every offensive action into a major financial stake for the Nigerian players. The generosity of this exceptional supporter does not end there: he has promised to double these bonuses in the event of qualification for the final, bringing the reward to $1 million for the victory and $100,000 per goal scored.
The announcement has caused a real buzz, with the tweet detailing this offer already surpassing one million views (on Twitter) in record time. An exceptional virality that reflects the unprecedented excitement surrounding this match and places Nigeria under the spotlight of the entire world. By making this promise public, the benefactor hopes to create a decisive psychological advantage and push his compatriots to physically surpass themselves to honor their national colors.
On the other hand, while such an amount will undoubtedly motivate the Super Eagles to give their best, money is not everything on the pitch. The teammates of Achraf Hakimi are not lacking in motivation, which is fueled by the dream of an entire nation and the ambition of players with real Lions’ hearts, ready to prove that passion and national pride remain the greatest drivers of success. Not to mention the difficulty of the task facing the Nigerians against the best African goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou, who has always risen to the occasion in major encounters.
