Billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote have promised to give Nigerian players N27 million per goal scored in their remaining AFCON matches.
Several news agencies had reported the news and Mr Otedola confirmed it in a post on social media.
“Soar Higher Super Eagles 🦅 …F.Ote💲,” he captioned a screenshot of the report.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria defeated the Bafana Bafana of South Africa 2-1 on Wednesday to qualify for the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
An 88th-minute goal by William Troost-Ekong ensured the match did not go to extra time at the Cairo International Stadium.
Samuel Chukwueze had put the Eagles in front in the 27th minute when an Alex Iwobi square play into the dangerous area found Chukwueze.
The Villarreal player’s first shot was luckily deflected onto his path for a simple rebound to give the Eagles the deserved lead.
