A superstar has put money where his mouth is, promising to buy each Super Eagles teammate a Mercedes G-Wagon after Nigeria defeated Algeria in their crucial AFCON 2025 showdown.
While the Super Eagles were busy slaying the Desert Foxes on the pitch, injured striker Victor Boniface was busy setting Nigerian social media on fire with a victory promise that has left fans and perhaps his accountant in a state of shock.
In the wake of Nigeria’s one-sided 2–0 quarter-final win over Algeria at AFCON 2025, Boniface took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to announce a reward that makes standard match bonuses look like spare change.
“For the good game today. I promise all the players 1 G wagon each,” Boniface posted, sending his 28-man squad of teammates into a frenzy of digital celebrations.
The Math behind the madness
The audacious nature of the promise becomes clear when you look at the numbers.
A 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon (G-Class) is currently valued at a starting price of roughly $130,000 to $150,000.
With 28 players in the final AFCON squad, if Boniface fulfills the promise for the entire squad, he is looking at a total expenditure exceeding $3.6 million (roughly ₦5.5 billion).
While Boniface is one of Nigeria’s highest-earning exports, currently on loan at Werder Bremen from Bayer Leverkusen, fans have been quick to point out that even for a Bundesliga star, buying 28 luxury SUVs is a monumental flex.
