A Nigerian man has sparked widespread reactions online after sharing a screenshot of a bet he placed predicting when former United States President Donald Trump would launch a military strike in Nigeria.
As earlier reported by GistReel, the United States Department of War carried out a military strike on December 25, 2025, targeting ISIS terrorists operating in Northwest Nigeria. The development was announced by Donald Trump via a post on his Truth Social account.
The man, identified as @MrBanksTips on X (formerly Twitter), had reportedly placed a bet forecasting that a U.S. military strike would occur in Nigeria between November 30 and December 31, 2025.
His prediction proved accurate, as the strike was executed on Christmas Day, falling squarely within the specified timeframe.
Following the revelation, screenshots of the bet quickly went viral on social media, triggering mixed reactions from netizens. While some expressed shock at the accuracy of the prediction, others debated the ethical and security implications of betting on geopolitical events.
The incident has continued to generate conversations across social media platforms.
