Business moguls, Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola, have made a promise to the Super Eagles as Nigeria progresses in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
The billionaires said they will donate $50,000 and $25,000 respectively for each goals scored in their semi-final game against Algeria.
The Super Eagles will battle the North Africans for a place in the final on Sunday at the Cairo International Stadium.
