Nigerian billionaire Abdul Samad Rabiu has gone ahead with a 500,000 cash gift to the Super Eagles, even after Nigerias national team fell short against Morocco, a move that has drawn wide attention for its timing and tone.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Rabiu praised the players for their effort and composure, saying the result did not erase what the team represented to Nigerians at home and abroad. He described their performance as one marked by resolve and commitment, adding that the pride they inspired mattered beyond the final scoreline.
To our brave Super Eagles, Rabiu wrote, you fought with your hearts, gave your all, and showed true courage and determination on the pitch. Though it wasnt meant to be this time, you have made every Nigerian proud. He said the teams display of unity and effort deserved recognition, even without a win.
