Pulse Sports have heard from a source about the death of former Nigeria international, Peter Ogaba.
Peter Ogaba is famous for being the youngest Nigerian player at the FIFA U-20 World Cup hosted by Saudi Arabia in 1989 where Nigeria lost in the final to eventual winners, Portugal.

He was also the youngest player to feature at the FIFA Under 17 World Cup at Canada '87.

The source revealed that Ogaba died on Friday, August 5 at Asokoro General Hospital, after a brief illness which started on Wednesday, August 3.


Ogaba made Nigeria's Golden Eaglets team at the age of 13 before playing for a professional club.

He had only played in the school team of Government Secondary School, Makurdi and was also in the state team.

He trained with nearby NNPC corporate workers team before moving to a local club called NTA Waves in Makurdi.

Before playing a competitive game, he was called up to the National School Festival in Minna in 1986 from where he was discovered.

He went on to play in Europe for KSC Lokeren in Belgium, FC Oulu in Finland, Duisburg in German, Desportivo Club Beja in Portugal, Leiftur in Iceland, Boldklub Hostelbus of Danmark etc.

Since hanging his boot in 2006, Ogaba has worked as a coach for Lobi Stars where he managed till he left in 2009.

The way we treat our ex-international in this country is unforgivable. May God have mercy on our leaders.

My dear Ogaba 'Peera' (as pronounced by the American commentator @ Canada '87) you've gone too soon!!!

You were the youngest in that line-up, but your boldness in the semi final match against Italy is still fresh in my memory till date.

Rest in perfect peace.

Sportsmen should learn how to manage their health properly all the time. Health I believed is wealth. How can Peter so balloon up like this in the picture above? I expect someone with good athletic body out of him.

Anyway, death doesn't need any excuses to snap someone. I just felt for the guy that dying at the age of 41 years, he hasn't fulfil much out of live.

Rest on Peter. Pray the Lord to console his wife, kids and extended family.

What a lose.

One of my then favorite players. We bare the same first name (Peter). I was nicknamed Ogaba in school those days bc of this lad.

I can recall vividly the role the 13yrs old Peter Ogaba played at Canada '87. How would I forget his champaign performance in that semi-final against Italy? He tried his best against a highly gifted Capellini even despite his size then.

He also played U21 at age 15.
He went out of the lime light just like Philip Osondu, Chris Nwosu, Taiwo Eneguwa, Dimeji Lawal, Lemy Isa and the rest of his Canada '87 class.

That white on Green jersey in that pix was what they used for most of that tourney. Hmmmm memories... sad

Rest in peace Peter Ogaba. embarassed
