See Nigerian billionaires who were disappointed by the Super Eagles’ poor performance against Croatia
Despite their disappointment, these
billionaires believe there is hope for Nigeria’s national team at the World Cup
after it lost its opening match.
The Nigerian side was defeated by the
Croatian team in a match that ended 2-0 after the Super Eagles conceded a
penalty in the 73rd minute.
Three
Nigerian billionaires would have been disappointed by the perceived poor
performance of the Super Eagles at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The Nigerian
side was defeated by the Croatian team in a match that ended 2-0 after the
Super Eagles conceded a penalty in the 73rd minute.
Despite
their disappointment, these billionaires believe there is hope for Nigeria’s
national team at the World Cup after it lost its opening match to Croatia in
Kaliningrad city in Russia.
Here are the
billionaires and how they watched the match in different parts of the world:
Former
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of United Bank for Africa, Tony
Elumelu was one of the three billionaires who was disappointed after Super
Eagles’ poor performance.
“Let’s go Nigeria! #worldcup
#WorldCupRussia2018 #Nigeria #Croatia,” he had tweeted at the commencement of
the match.
Elumelu was
in high spirit like several millions of Nigerians in Nigeria and in diaspora
when the game started but had his hope dashed after the final whistle of the
match.
The Chairman
of Forte Oil PLC and Geregu Power PLC, Femi Otedola was also disappointed by
the performance of the Super Eagles when the team played against Croatia on
Saturday, June 16, 2018.
Otedola
watched the match in the confines of his palatial home in London in the company
of one of his daughters, Temi Otedola.
“In my
London home ready to watch the Nigeria VS Croatia match. Good luck to the
Eagles!,” he tweeted.
At the
second half, Otedola was hopeful the Nigerian players will bring their A-game
to the second half but nothing of such occurred till the end of the match.
“Watching
the game with my very own fashionista, CEO of JTO Fashion @jtofashion.
Supporting the boys to bring their A-game this second half. #WorldCup
#Russia2018 #SuperEagles,” Otedola tweeted.
Benny Peters
Another
Nigerian billionaire, who would have been disappointed by the performance of
the Super Eagles is Benny Peters.
The
billionaire, who founded the Aiteo Group, is one of the big supporters of the
Super Eagles that actually bankrolled the team’s attempt at winning the world
cup with over N1 billion.
Peters will
definitely be disappointed because his company had announced a bonus sum of
$50,000 (N18 million) for the Eagles for every game should the team score their
opponents without conceding a goal.
