The slip showed more than just blind faith in the Black Stars. Davido's selections paint a detailed picture of how he expects the match to unfold: Ghana to win, both teams to score, and Colombia to open the scoring. Those three picks combine for total odds of 35.06, meaning if everything goes according to plan, the star is in line to pocket a cool $491,764.46.
It is a bold call, particularly on Colombia striking first, yet the wager signals genuine belief that the Black Stars have what it takes to come back and claim victory.

Colombians hold prayers against Kwaku Bonsam's charm
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Colombian fans had climbed Monserrate Hill hours before the Ghana vs Colombia World Cup clash to perform counter-rituals against spiritualist Nana Kwaku Bonsam.
A Colombian shaman led prayers on the hill, with fans seeking to protect key players like Luis Díaz from any curse placed by the Ghanaian spiritualist.
Nana Kwaku Bonsam had previously claimed he placed a curse on England captain Harry Kane ahead of Ghana's Group L fixture, drawing global attention.
