CAIRO Egypt -    Ahead of Sunday’s Super Eagles and Algeria showdown, Africa's billionaires, Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola have promised to give the Super Eagles $50,000 and $25,000 respectively for each goal scored in their semi-final game against the Desert Foxes.

Nigeria are scheduled to battle the North Africans for a place in the final of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations at the 75,000-seater Cairo International Stadium.

The Eagles defeated Bafana Bafana 2-1 in Wednesday’s quarterfinal match which saw the South Africans threaten to push the game into extra time before William Troost-Ekong saved Nigeria with a late winner.

It will now be down to the Super Eagles to do Nigerians proud on Sunday by scoring many goals which will amount to a handsome windfall as confirmed by the President of the Nigerian Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick.

 “Aliko has told me that for every goal you score, you score 10 goals and you get $500,000, you score one you get $50,000.

“Femi Otedola too. I called him and he said $25,000 for every goal scored.

“So, whether reply or no reply, you just keep scoring and that’s what you will do.

“And there is going to be more and more coming, that I can tell you for free,” said Pinnick in a meeting with the team.

The Super Eagles are in the hunt for their first AFCON trophy since 2013 and are expected to fight for the right to this year’s final in Cairo, Egypt.

The match is scheduled to be played on Sunday 14 July.
