yeah. i think i started buying in February 1993. My first copy was the first edition of ISR. The one that had Okocha at the cover page. I think Okocha was in Frankfurt then, and the whole edition was on the African Natiions cup qualifiers and Okochas exploits in the Bundesliga.

Guy, i hit my mum like hell buying all sorts of things. At a point, i had a heap of those mags and i thought of renting it out for awon boiz that wanted to read. Another venture i did then was renting out my Game boi (super mario) to my classmates. I think that was 93 also.

Nostalgic moments man.
Those days were good o.

You came to the party late.

That means you missed the Senegal 92 special edition where Mumini
Alao had an exclusive interview with Stephen Keshi.

Let's go back a bit.

The Westerhof interview in 1989 after we got bundled out of the
world cup qualifiers.

You're right. Those days were great.

@akinlabi

I still have in my archives a copy of Mumini Alao's Complete Football post tournament anaysis after the Dream Team won gold in Atlanta '96

yeah i didnt buy that edition.
after that first ISR edition, i never missed any copies of the ISR, CF and CFI
Mumini Alao used to be my favorites then but i dunno why the guy is laying so low in Sports jounalism
The Jenkins Alumona, Michel Obi, Paul Basseys of this world shouldnt be taking all the glory.
some guys were really cool early 90s.

I think the publisher Sunny Obazu Ojeagbase should be given an award for that.

so Oga Akin Alabi, u bought the 89 edition
i never enter secondary school that time even the 89 world cup qualifiers, na in bits i see the games
saw our game against Angola in Lagos, saw our game against Cameroon in Lagos and i think our game against Cameroon in Yaounde(not sure)

my brother, sports jounalism dey sweet dat time o

tkb,
Nigeria's game vs Cameroun was in Ibadan,Adamasingba stadium.
I think,because I lived there then.
Also I think Mitchell Obi has been around.he was with the Guardian in the 80s.He's an accomplished journalist in his own right.

Eastbay
are u serious? i tot the game was played in Lagos
But im sure the game against Angola was in lagos.

Sam Okwaraji

Okwaraji's incident was on my birthday August 12 1989

I wont say he is laying low. He is the MD of Complete
Communications, publishers of complete sports. His
"SoccerTalk" column every Monday is still as articulate
as ever.

The man is great. He's my mentor. I owe most of the things I know
in business to him. Spoke to him last week to tap more of his brain.

He doesnt do much of sports anymore. he focusses his attention
on his other publication, Success Digest.

I was also a kid then (JS 1 I think) but my brother was a fanatic
as well so we contribute money to buy.

It was actually the away game that got us knocked out. I
think we had David Ngodigha in goal.

You don live for my Ibadan before?

we need to talk o.
I used to have stacks of Success Digest in the UNI. I was preparing for any eventuality just in case whote collar jobs wouldnt come immediately.
But, as God go do am, na so one consulting firm just snapped me after nysc
That man is a great man. I surely will love to meet him one day.
I attended one of those sessions (when i was in UNI) i think at Okota.
i really need to meet that man one day. he deserves an award at least MON for what hes done for millions of Nigerians

so Mumini is the CEO of complete communications? is it still under Sunnys business empire or the sport part of the biz has been given to Mumini?
nyways, its gud ure close to these big men.

The first tournament I followed was Canada 1987(That final i cried so much that everyone in our house was begging me) and Chile 87 where brazilians Alcindo, Williams and co decimated our flying eagles.

Before Italy completed the Job.

Seoul 1988 I took a small transistor radio to school to monitor commentaries but the teacher seized it

China 85 na only the highlights I dey watch cos my Dad would have sent me to bed before games. i had a curfew then.

Una dey read ISR? Those days 1988-1989 Na Dauda Magazine me I dey read then

Reading under the desk in school and one day the teacher caught us and asked us to come and explain to the whole class/narrate the story we were reading

Yeah, lets talk. . .

He taught me how to do business and thankfully, I've been
a good student. I'm a regular guest speaker at his events.

tkb417:

nyways, its gud ure close to these big men.

Success Digest is published by Success Attitude Development Centre
and Complete Sports published by Complete Communications. He
seperates them.

Mumini handles CCL and I think he has a major share there now.

I was also the youngest dude in my class. You had to be careful before speaking anyhow to junior boys cos some of them were old enough to be your senior brother. I still remember my biggest shame to date was losing a fight with one junior boy who was older than my older sister cos I has tried to discipline the fella. The thing pain me no be small. I remember 1989. I was 6 years old, in primary 2 then. If you were in primary 6, then you must have been a GENIUS!

Thank God i survived every.
