naptu2: Now I must pay tribute to the master. I think that there was a time when all Nigerian football commentators were trying to imitate the late great Ernest Okonkwo. His phrases became clichés. The only problem was that the people who used them did not know what they meant (which is why they could "float a grounder".: Yeah! I remember those by Ernest Okonkwo: These are some that I can still remember Elastic Henry Nwosu Man-Mountain Nwabueze Nwankwo Wilfred Agbonivbare: He made a wonderful save- My-oh my -they nicknamed him basket but I call him a cat. As Folurunsho Okenla was about to take one of the Nigerian penalty kicks during the AFCON 88 against Algeria in the semi- Okonkwo said: Here comes terrific left footed Okenla, shaking like a lilly but with a heart as strongs as rock of Gilbratar, the destiny of Nigeria, your country is in your hand son and 1-2-3 he scoreeed!! During one of the Seoul 88 Olympic football games, it was at match involving Germany- He said: His name is Klinsman, if our Eagle are to meet Germany in this tournament, he might cleanse them with his goals (1st time Jurgen Klinsman announce himself before the footballing world) In politics, in 1983, Shagari's special representative in the East Ibrahim Tahir, said that NPN is so popular, they are no longer interested in landslide victories but they will win now by a seaslide and some funny journalist was serious trying to tell him, there are no such thing as seaslide, but Alhaji Tahir wasn't interested 1 Like |
