Super Eagles to get ₦1.4B for AFCON win

In a rousing show of support for the Super Eagles following their 2–0 quarter-final victory over Algeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Nigerian business magnate and BUA Group founder Abdul Samad Rabiu has promised substantial financial incentives to the national team as they prepare for the semi-final.

Goals from Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams helped Nigeria beat Algeria on Saturday.

Rabiu, one of Nigeria’s wealthiest industrialists and the owner of major interests in cement, sugar, and other key sectors took to social media on Saturday to congratulate the players on their spirited performance that has fired up the nation.

“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-final,” Rabiu wrote.

He pledged rewards tied to success in the knockout stages to further motivate the squad.

He continued, “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.

Rabiu closed his message with patriotic encouragement, “Wishing you continued success as you carry Nigeria forward. Keep making Nigeria proud. Proudly Nigerian.”

“Wishing you continued success as you carry Nigeria forward. Keep making Nigeria proud. Proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬,” he added.

Nigeria’s convincing win over Algeria, secured through second-half goals from Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams, sets up a tantalizing semi-final clash with hosts Morocco next week.
