Obinna Faces Criticism After Losing Ksh 1 Million Bet

The high-stakes world of sports betting has claimed another high-profile victim, as YouTuber Oga Obinna found himself on the losing end of a Ksh 1 million wager following Manchester United’s narrow 3-2 victory over Arsenal on Sunday, January 25, 2026. While the loss itself was painful, the sting was amplified by a public roasting from Kenya’s famous Jason Derulo lookalike, Remcy Don, who was quick to celebrate the Red Devils’ win at Obinna’s expense.

The Million-Shilling Gamble

The drama began earlier on Sunday when Obinna took to social media to announce his confidence in the Gunners. Aiming to “finish January well,” the content creator placed a massive Ksh 1 million bet on an Arsenal victory, hoping for a payout of at least Ksh 1.6 million. “I want to play it safe,” Obinna had told his followers, citing a desire to capitalize on the winning streaks he had seen among friends. Unfortunately, the “safe” bet crumbled at the final whistle as Manchester United secured the win, leaving Obinna’s million-shilling investment in the hands of the bookmakers.

“Buy the orphans soda”

Remcy Don, a staunch Manchester United supporter, didn’t let the moment pass without a cheeky intervention. Taking to Facebook, the doppelgänger offered Obinna some “philanthropic” advice wrapped in a taunt.

“So sorry my guy. Next time you see you have too much money, just visit an orphanage and buy the children some soda. GGMU (Glory Glory Man United)!”

The comment, punctuated by laughing emojis, quickly went viral as fans of both teams weighed in on the “Derulo” vs. “Obinna” banter. The post suggested that if Obinna was comfortable losing such a staggering amount on a single game, the money would have been better served as a charitable donation.

Obinna’s Reaction

The YouTuber, known for his quick wit, was understandably brief in his aftermath. While he hasn’t officially engaged in a back-and-forth with Remcy Don, he responded to the general mockery of his lost bet with a curt, “Tusikutane” (Let’s not meet).
