Popular Nigerian TikToker Peller has expressed deep frustration after losing a $3,000 bet placed on the Super Eagles of Nigeria to defeat Morocco in the semi-final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The social media personality made the revelation in a viral video following Nigeria’s dramatic exit from the tournament. The keenly contested semi-final clash ended 0–0 after regulation time, before Morocco edged Nigeria 4–2 on penalties to book a place in the final. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Reacting to the outcome, Peller lamented that he was unaware his bet would be considered settled after 90 minutes, explaining that he had expected Nigeria to progress regardless of extra time or penalties.

Visibly distressed in the video, the influencer disclosed that he left the viewing centre where he was watching the match out of frustration, while still appealing passionately for the Super Eagles to emerge victorious.

The loss comes at a difficult time for Peller, who recently made headlines after crashing his Mercedes-Benz, compounding his emotional reaction to the failed bet.

Despite the heartbreak, Nigeria’s AFCON 2025 campaign had been impressive prior to the semi-final defeat. The Super Eagles topped Group C with a perfect record, winning all three group-stage matches.

They rounded off the group phase with a convincing 3–1 victory over Uganda, with goals from Paul Onuachu and Raphael Onyedika.

Nigeria had also defeated Algeria 2–0 in the quarter-finals, thanks to goals from Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams, extending their winning run and solidifying their status as one of the tournament favourites.

In total, the Super Eagles won five matches, scoring 14 goals before their penalty shootout defeat to Morocco ended their title hopes.

Promoting betting as a big influencer in the country is quite terrible.

This guy has almost 4million follower on TikTok and Instagram.

Imagine the numbers that he must have lured with that very act.

BETTING CAN NEVER MAKE YOU RICH
EVEN IF U WIN MASSIVELY TODAY, NEXT TIME MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY

These days,I only tend to watch any super eagles match,for fun and nothing like emotional attachment...

Imagine being a Chelsea fan and the same time watching super eagles lose yesterday . It wasn't a nice combo yesterday . Na why I kukuma no too put body watch any of the matches last night,cuz I don't have the strength to bear any heartbreak.

Nigerian influencers should be banned from promoting betting on social media. This is not good for the next generation.

I don't bet. I never have and never would. Even if you show me a sure odds to win $10bn and play it in my presence and win the $10bn twice, I won't still do it.

Me wey lose 90k e be like say make ground Open swallow me

This is outrageous o. We can't just sit back and let betting ruin the futures of countless young people in this country. It's one of the biggest crises we’re facing right now, yet no one seems to give a damn. Why is nobody talking about this? All people say is betting is choice. Until your family member or child is ruined by it, you understand why it is bad .

These celebrities are seriously promoting gambling.

More reason why you'll see someone who hasn't eaten 3 square meals a day going to waste his time in a betnaija shop.

To those crying about betting running life... Betting is a choice, leave the company out of it.

It's clear that the government isn't stepping up to eliminate betting from our society. It's up to us to take action and make the change ourselves. If we don't, we risk the future of many people. We have the power to create a better environment. It’s time to unite and ensure that betting is eradicated before it’s too late. Together, we can make a difference.

Tinubu/APC Was Waiting For The Super Eagles to Win AFCON So They Can Use Football to Glorify 3 Years of Failure in Governance. Trophies Can’t Hide Bad Leadership.

Same guy that asked his fans to donate money to repair his car.

All these subtle promo and bringing betting consciousness is unnecessary. What concerns us with your betting stakes

Hmm
This guy choosed the wrong option

Anybody in the social media is an adult, they can choose to play bet or not to. Many have made money from same bet, many are also employed in Betting companies, it's People that build and maintain those betting Apps and their websites, it employs like other legit companies you can think of, it depends on your own perception. Betting does not encourage idleness, Shebbi peller is working and betting as well? Shebbi Davido is working and betting?

Oga stop this ranting about choice and face the reality. Why do some countries ban it? Because they don't want their people to make the wrong choice. Betting is bad and destructive, yet legal in our system. We need to stand up to fight for our future. You get children ooo and don't forget you can't chose for them.

Davido dey bet, Peller dey bet too. They won't show us the youth better updates to make money. It's promoting nonsense that one can loss his life savings if he bcms addicted

Trust all these celebrity at your own risk...most of them play DEMO.

They dont play with there hard earned money, only few of them play the actual game.

I told my kid brother yesterday morning that Nigeria will lose considering what Morocco are doing at the moment immediately after their last match before they face Nigeria, and come to think of it, Nigeria has always had a tough time playing with them (Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Ghana, Cameroon, etc).

Up Morocco🇲🇦

Bros, Betting goes against God’s will. Even in Jesus parable of the master who gave his three servants talents, the faithful ones (non-gamblers and resourceful people) worked, traded, and multiplied what they were given while the lazy servant (many gamblers) gained nothing, showing that God expects us to grow our resources through diligence and wisdom, not gamble them on chance. God even clearly commands us to be fruitful, multiply, and prosper through responsible effort rather than reckless risk.
