Naija and fotball seff .....Péle stoped the Biafran war for 48 hrs ...In 1967, the two factions involved in the Nigerian Civil War agreed to a forty-eight hour ceasefire so that they could watch Pelé play an exhibition game in Lagos.... Yes, you read it correctly…Nigerians paused the Biafran war in order to watch a soccer match and afterward resumed the war.... Can you imagine? The military even opened heavily guarded checkpoints so that people could make their way to the big game..Santos arrived at Lagos International Airport on Sunday morning, January 26, 1969. They were scheduled to play their exhibition match against the Green Eagles, Nigeria’s national team, that afternoon at the Lagos City Stadium..soldiers from both sides reportedly attended the matches, some carrying chairs on their heads to cram extra seating into the stadium. Then 48 hours later they got right back to killing each other....The match between Santos and the Green Eagles ended 2-2. Muyiwa Oshode and Baba Alli scored the Green Eagles’ goals while Pelé got Santos’ two goals....quite fantastic what football can do ... Ee
