Some time in October 2007 on nigeriavillagesquare.com , i read this piece about Samuel Okwaraji written by IWEDI OJINMAH on the 26th of October 2007 and felt like sharing it again today.


Nigeria's True Spartan - Sam Okwaraji

Though the weather advisory for Lagos on Saturday, August 12, 1989, suggested a hot sticky day many a Nigerian soccer fan would soon remember it as cold, grey and unforgiving. And who could blame them?First of all came the unfortunate sequence of events off the field. Recently refurbished and still basking in a fresh coat of paint The National Stadium was being tested for the first time in its new FIFA approved version which had 20,000 less seats - something that seemed to have slipped by the phalanx of host officials. Shame !
