October 1, 2025, marked Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day, a moment to celebrate the vibrant tapestry of cultures, people, and accomplishments that define Africa’s most populous nation. Nigeria, often called the “Giant of Africa,” is home to over 200 million people and a diverse federation of more than 250 ethnic groups speaking 500+ languages. This unrivaled cultural mosaic has produced a rich heritage of art, cuisine, music, and festivals that Nigerians proudly share with the world.
1xBet Joins the Celebration with Community Initiatives
Joining in the Independence Day celebration is 1xBet, a leading international betting company that has become a familiar name in Nigeria’s sporting community. Beyond its core business, 1xBet has earned recognition as a socially responsible brand committed to uplifting the communities where it operates.
This commitment is perhaps best exemplified by the 1XCup, an amateur football tournament in Lagos that brings grassroots teams together. In its most recent edition, 20 community clubs competed for a prize pool of ₦20 million, giving young players a platform to showcase their skills. Such initiatives not only nurture sporting talent but also unite communities through the passion for football.
As a brand that prides itself on ethical conduct and positive impact, 1xBet has also launched broader social initiatives reflecting its values. One example is 1xWoman, a program created to support and empower women in sports.
Earlier this year, Nigerian football influencer and 1xBet ambassador Suo Chapele hosted a special live-streamed session as part of the 1xWoman project, where she spoke about women’s leadership in sports, shared her journey, and encouraged young girls to pursue careers in athletics and digital media.
Suo Chapele is the first female commentator in Pidgin in Nigeria’s history and also the chief of the Urhobo people. This dedication to social good, promoting inclusion, gender equality, and community upliftment resonates strongly on a day celebrating national progress and unity.
Independence Day Referral Battle with 1xBet
To make the celebrations even more exciting, 1xBet is launching a special online contest – Independence Day Referral Battle. The competition is designed to engage fans, reward loyalty, and add a spark of fun to the national holiday.
How it works: 1. Invite your friends to follow the official 1xBet Nigeria page; 2. Each new follower must leave a comment under the contest post: “I came from @yourname”; 3. The participant who brings the most new followers will win a grand prize of $300 cash.
Three extra winners will each receive promo codes worth 15,000 NGN to enjoy on the platform. Winners will be officially announced on October 7, 2025, keeping the Independence Day spirit alive even after the holiday.
With this initiative, 1xBet once again shows its commitment to engagement, entertainment, and rewarding its Nigerian community on one of the most important days of the year.
In this celebratory atmosphere, 1xBet’s participation stands out as an example of corporate citizenship done right. By aligning its brand with Nigeria’s values and joyously engaging the community, 1xBet underscores that business success and social responsibility can go hand in hand.
Happy Independence Day, Nigeria! Here’s to many more years of freedom, prosperity, and shared celebration. Follow 1xBet on social media to take part in the promo and stay up to date with all the new events:
