Afrobeats superstar Davido reportedly lost a $50,000 bet after the Super Eagles were eliminated by Morocco in the AFCON 2025 semi-final on Wednesday, going down 4–2 on penalties.

Hours before kick-off, the singer shared his bet slip on social media, revealing he had backed Nigeria to defeat the Atlas Lions.

The goalless draw in regulation time, followed by a penalty shoot-out loss, dashed his hopes.

Popular Nigerian TikToker Peller also revealed that he lost a $3,000 bet on Nigeria winning in 90 minutes.

“Thank you, Super Eagles, for playing very well,” he said sarcastically during a livestream on Wednesday night.

“I have lost my $3,000 bet. You guys were playing well the previous games before I decided to place a bet and watch your match. Maybe if I stop watching your games, you will start playing well again.”

Keivo has become the second Big Brother Naija housemate to be disqualified from Season 11.

This follows his physical altercation with fellow housemate, Tram.

The fight broke out after Tram accused Keivo of taking one of his shirts.

Keivo did not take the allegation of theft lightly, and the situation eventually became violent.

It took the intervention of other housemates to calm both men down.

On Tuesday, Biggie sent ninjas to escort Keivo out of the house through the storeroom.

Biggie eventually gathered the remaining contestants and confirmed Keivo’s disqualification.

Nomy was the first housemate to be disqualified due to repeated defiance and refusal to wear an assigned punishment outfit.

Veteran actor and public speaker, Richard Mofe-Damijo, has expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, describing the country as a work in progress, on its 66th Independence Anniversary on Oct. 1.

Mofe-Damijo said this while speaking on Nigeria’s journey at 66 at the Pivot Nigeria conference in Lagos.

He said although Nigeria had shortcomings, its relatively young age as a nation meant citizens should remain patient while continuing to contribute to its development.

“A bright one. We are a country, we’re a work in progress, and we must continue just doing the work,” he said.

According to him, building a civilisation takes time, adding that Nigeria at 66 remained young compared with many countries regarded as leading nations today.

He, however, stressed that the country’s age should not be an excuse for its shortcomings.

Mofe-Damijo urged Nigerians to remain committed to building the country and contributing positively to its growth.

He said every Nigerian was an ambassador of the country, noting that individual conduct could influence Nigeria’s reputation locally and internationally.

The actor urged citizens to demonstrate discipline, professionalism, punctuality and integrity in their daily activities.

He said Nigerians should view representing the country as a responsibility rather than a burden.

Mofe-Damijo added that Nigeria’s reputation would be strengthened when citizens consistently demonstrated excellence and maintained positive values wherever they found themselves. (NAN)
