Popular Nigerian Content Creator Peller Promises ₦500,000 Per Goal to Ademola Lookman Ahead of AFCON 2025 Semi-Final Clash

By


 In a viral moment that's lighting up social media, famous TikTok streamer and content creator Habeeb Hamzat, better known as Peller, has boldly pledged to reward Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman with ₦500,000 for every goal he scores against host nation Morocco in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 semi-final.

The promise was made during a lively livestream session on January 12-13, 2026, where Peller expressed his desire to "ginger" (motivate) the team ahead of the high-stakes encounter. In the clip, he emphatically declared:

“Lookman, any goal you score, I will give you N500,000, I swear to Almighty God, and I mean it!!”

He further explained that this is his way of supporting the Super Eagles and pushing them toward victory in today's crucial match at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.

This comes as Ademola Lookman has been in red-hot form at AFCON 2025, leading the tournament in goal contributions with multiple goals and assists so far, earning him praise as one of Nigeria's standout performers.

The announcement quickly went viral, with fans sharing reactions ranging from amusement to debate—some calling it a fun gesture to hype the team, while others questioned if the amount would truly motivate a top-tier international footballer like Lookman, who earns significantly more in his club career at Atalanta.

Multiple reputable Nigerian outlets, including Pulse Sports, Naija News, GistReel, and Legit.ng, have covered the story, confirming the pledge and highlighting the excitement it has generated among football enthusiasts.

As Nigeria faces Morocco in this blockbuster semi-final on January 14, 2026, all eyes will be on Lookman to see if he can capitalize on the extra incentive and help the Super Eagles advance to the final. Will Peller's wallet feel the impact? The pitch will decide!
