Abdul Samad Rabiu, Chairman and Founder of BUA Group, has announced substantial financial incentives for Nigeria’s Super Eagles upto $1m following their 2–0 quarter-final victory over Algeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations
In a statement shared on his Instagram page on Saturday, he wrote “Congratulations to our Super Eagles players on a brilliant victory against Algeria! You have lifted the spirit of the nation, and we proudly cheer you on as you prepare for the semi-finals.”

The business magnate detailed performance-based rewards for the upcoming semi-final and potential final. He pledged USD $500,000 to the players if they win the semi-final, with an additional USD $50,000 for every goal scored. Should Nigeria lift the AFCON trophy, Rabiu promised USD $1,000,000, plus USD $100,000 for each goal in the final.

What Abdul Samad Rabiu announced strikes me as a gesture that transcends the purely sporting realm. For me, these multimillion-dollar rewards not only motivate the players but also strengthen the link between team success and national pride. Personally, I believe that these kinds of incentives foster an atmosphere of trust and commitment because the players feel their efforts are tangibly recognized. Interestingly, Rabiu didn't just celebrate the victory against Algeria; he proposed a performance-based scheme: half a million for winning the semi-final and bonuses for each goal, plus a full million if they lift the trophy. For me, the most significant aspect is that this private support reflects how football can unite businesspeople, fans, and players toward a common goal. Ultimately, I think Nigeria is experiencing a historic moment.
