Nigerian TV reality star Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, found herself on an emotional rollercoaster as she placed a hefty N500,000 bet on the Super Falcons to triumph in the round of 16 against England.

With her confidence in the Nigerian team soaring, Tacha took to her Twitter handle before the game to announce her bold wager and rally her support for the Falcons. She tweeted, “I’m about to bet 500k on ya heads Ohh!! So abeeg!! Bring it home #ENGNGA #FIFAWWC #ENG #NGA.”

The match was a gripping affair, with both teams giving it their all on the field. The Super Falcons showed immense determination and resilience, pushing the mighty Three Lionesses to the limit.
