Show me any Naija person wey go bet on Super Eagles before dis AFCON and I go show you person wey dey hopeful! Even Davido wey don stack money like barracks bet $50,000 say Nigeria go win Morocco. But wetin happen? E no reach 120 minutes, dem finish with goalless draw before Morocco use penalty carry the day. Just imagine, Davido dey eye $348,274.07, but na only wahala e get.
But abeg, no be say Davido don die inside loss o! Just after match, I see am dey chop fine fish like say na holiday. E no carry trailer load of money, but e still dey pop and jolly around Morocco with him private jet, no time for third-place playoff wahala. Na wetin I call ‘life goes on’!
Make we also check Peller, the TikTok king, wey stake $3,000 for Nigeria to win sharp sharp. Peller dey expect to hit $10,000 if Nigeria just carry am, but e no gree. As e see say Nigeria no fit attend to business for pitch, e come dey thank Super Eagles with small sarcasm. “Thank you for playing very well,” he dey vex but e still dey laugh for livestream!
And no forget Joeboy wey also put N5m down for Super Eagles to win! E join the list of Naija stars wey dey feel am for pocket after the loss. Na football, dem say no be only the players dey play match. Others dey play manage money for the sidelines too. Everybody just dey shake head since that day!

If Nigeria win, na him dey relax til next AFCON, but since Morocco win, e go sleep for kitchen. E don carry matter go Instagram, dey show us im new ‘luxurious’ living space!
As everywhere scatter, we dey wonder whether Naija stars go still stand behind Super Eagles when next time dem show face. But one thing wey sure, football no dey respect anybody pocket! Who go collect next after the balance don settle? Dem say life na gamble, and Naija dey play am well!
