Prominent singer, Davido breaks silence after he lost a whopping $348K (N495 million) after the Nigerian Super Eagles got defeated by Morocco in the 2026 AFCON.
It would be recalled that the Super Eagles lost their penalty shootout after failing to secure a win during the match.
Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou emerged as the hero on Wednesday night as host nation Morocco defeated Nigeria 4–2 on penalties to secure a place in the Africa Cup of Nations final, following a tense semi-final encounter that ended goalless after extra time.
