It’s Detty December, Flytime Fest is kicking off tonight, the energy in Lagos is crazy, but Davido has just managed to shift the entire country's focus squarely onto football.
The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 journey begins for Nigeria tomorrow, Tuesday, December 23rd. And just in case the tension wasn't high enough, the 30BG boss himself has decided to raise the stakes to astronomical levels.
Davido is officially trending everywhere today after proving he’s not just talking a big game about supporting the national team—he’s putting serious money where his mouth is.
The ₦36 Million Receipt
Earlier today, Davido took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to share a betting slip that made everyone stop scrolling.
The superstar revealed a jaw-dropping $25,000 stake on the Super Eagles to win their opening Group Stage match against Tanzania tomorrow.
For those doing the quick conversion at current rates, that is roughly ₦36 Million riding on 90 minutes of football.

Davido isn't just looking for a scrappy 1-0 victory; by dropping this kind of cash, he’s signaling supreme confidence that the boys are going to deliver a big win to start the tournament.
The Pressure is On!
This kind of high-stakes gambing isn't exactly new for Davido, who is known for his flashy lifestyle and love for a good punt. But tying such a massive amount of money to national pride just hours before kickoff has sent social media into an absolute frenzy.
The reactions are mixed with hype and anxiety:
The Believers: Many fans see this as the ultimate morale booster. If OBO trusts the team with $25k, then surely victory is guaranteed!
The Sweaters: Others are already calculating what they could do with ₦36 million and are begging the Super Eagles not to "fall our hand." The pressure on Osimhen, Lookman, and the rest of the squad just tripled.
Will OBO Cash Out?
Tomorrow’s match against Tanzania was already a must-watch, but now it’s got an extra layer of blockbuster drama. We were all praying for three points, but now we’re also praying for Davido’s bank account.
Will the Super Eagles soar and secure the bag for Davido, or will it be "breakfast" served early in the tournament?
Tune in tomorrow. It’s going to be a movie!
