I heard the India-Nigeria soccer Story too.But in this case the ball i was told changes into a Snake anytime our Nigerian goalkeeper makes an attempt at catchin the ball . . .      

yeah, heard both stories d india 99 vs nigeria 1 n the thunder balogun especially the quote remember ur left leg. Word was d goal keeper was best ogendegbe.

Our pali dem been don use our head well well, make dem come try am now c who go fall mugu.

Then my people use to tell me not to play  football else i will loose my legs since its all about playing stone and lion head then.

Whoever invented this 'intercontinental lie' deserves some form of recognition from Guinness Book of Records.

My own version was made worse because I heard it from a 'reliable source' - my class teacher!

He narrated it with so much passion as if he was there live in the stadium. Gentlemen, I believed him and I still do believe him till today

I hope other things he taught you in school were also not fabricated!!!

When my brother used to tell me too, he used to narrate it as if he watched it. Thank God, I have not heard any version saying lions even came out of TV to attack those watching it on TV

i heard the story in my pry 1. was told it was 100-1
sure it must have been a cricket match.

I believed everything that bloke taught me, nothing was fabricated oo, including teaching me that Things Fall Apart  was written by Cyprian Ekwensi!  

how do i post a new topic?

Heard it was 100-1, our only goal was scored by Segun Odegbami and he lost his expensive boot as a result, lol
Luckily for us India was banned by FIFA for 99 years because of this juju match, can you imagine I really believed all this junk because i never saw india in any match

Heard it too, but Segun Odegbemi who happens to be a 'major actor in the movie' has come out to deny any knowledge about the match.

there is even another story i heard about Ivory Coast moving with the stadium whenever they are playing away from home. it was rumoured that
when they are play for instance Nigeria in the National Stadium, they will only be seeing and hearing the chant of their own supporters . . .souds strange abi

Abeg make una delete this thread o

Make visitors from other countries no begin laugh us o.

There is even the other story about how the referee warned okocha never to dribble anybody again, He gets a yellow card each time he does, NAIJA,

No wonder oyibo say na we be the happiest country in the world

haaa bros eeee . . .

u wan tell me say u no know say Iindia wire us 99-1 true true ?

in fact it was Thunder Balogun that struck the only ballistic goal into their net . . .all our players were seeing double and the goalie-mepon was just picking goal upon goals from his net

na real golaie-mepon

na so i hear the thing o
den talk say the reason why the Indians scored 99 was cos the ball will turn to lion and the goalie (ogedengbe) will run away from his goalpost and as soon as the the thing hit the net, it will turn to a ball.
While all these were going on, the referee didnt see how the ball was changing to a lion o

Then, the only goal was scored by Thunder Balogun who damned all consequences to unleash a ferocious shot into the net. I heared the man fractured his leg cos apparently it was a mould of rock he hit while trying to hit the ball.

kai kai, since then i dey fear Indians even till today.

Fyneguy
delete the thread cos u dont want them to laff us
ahn ahn, make den laff na. how is that a prob?

These small pikins sef, why una dey doubt the story handed to you by our old papa them. The story is true, just that out of annoyance, FIFA decided to delete the date of the match from all their records and even from Odegbami's memory

The juju made it possible that the news circulated so fast and stuck to everyone's memory. Me sef na for Nsukka I hear am in my primary 3.

but why is india not playing international fooball?

invisible!:

You also passed on the myth. . .you also spread the 'gospel'.
The story was just too interesting not to be spread to one's immediate younger ones when one was growing up, before one also knew it was a lie!!

It was tremendous that even a father cannot do without telling his children.Real Fiction, National Lie i call it.

It is a first class lie, generational lie and intercontinental lie.

I heard it from several people when I was young, and I believe it because of some many people confirming it.

What I still don't understand is that, why is India not playing football?

this is so amazing
i ask most of my colleages in office
and they all confirm hearing the story
infact they belive the story
me too i belive the story now
hw did it spread like water if there is no atom of truth in it
well 100-1 yet wat i heard was dat we won the match
due to d juju they use

una no go give person heart attack

When i saw the topic, i thimk say na true true india beat nigeria 99 - 0

I no know say na the one wey happpen centuries ago

Omolala,

India was banned since that match with Nigeria

SO I HEARD AND SO I SHALL TELL OTHERS,

This simply goes to show that naija had the most advanced form of communication since like decades ago. (amebo/rumor mongers). We just didn't know it.
Chei. The entire nation heard all this blatant lies.

Anyway, the only true one is the prick one oh.
@invisible!

Omo i tell you say i dey dia live and direct. When the oyinbo man's prick disappeared, the guy removed his "paaint" and we saw a blank space oohh. As the guy returned the prick, the space just filled up again and he showed us that he know had a black prick. I could tell the prick was definitely not his because it was "big"
No disrespect to my small prick oyinbo bruhss,
