[Saba Sports News] According to French media reports, Nigeria’s sixth richest person, billionaire Abdul Samad Rabiu, has decided to donate $500,000 to Nigerian players, despite the national team being eliminated after a 0-0 draw with Morocco in the semifinals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, losing 2-4 in the penalty shootout. According to Forbes, Abdul Samad Rabiu has a net worth of approximately $5.1 billion. He had pledged on January 10 that if Nigeria won the semifinal, he would donate $500,000, with an additional $50,000 for each goal scored. If Nigeria advanced and won the final, he would add another $1 million, with $100,000 for each goal in the final. Unfortunately, Nigeria neither scored nor defeated Morocco. Nevertheless, Rabiu has shown great generosity by deciding to honor his original $500,000 commitment. Support and encouragement like Rabiu’s may help Nigerian players overcome the disappointment of elimination and prepare with renewed determination for the next Africa Cup of Nations, which will be held in 2027 in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
