Tuesday, 15 June 2010

A resident of Ugbo Odogwu, a suburb of Enugu, Peter Agbowa, slumped and died while watching the 2010 FIFA World Cup match between Nigeria and Argentina on Saturday.

Agbowa, 56, a father of three, was said to have slumped from a chair when Argentina scored the lone goal of the encounter six minutes into the match.

His wife, Georgina, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Enugu that she noticed that her husband stood still after he shouted and was no more moving.

According to her, “I tried to touch him, but he just fell on the floor and I shouted to alert neighbours who quickly came and rushed him to the hospital where he was confirmed dead.”

Agbowa, who hailed from Ukana in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, was a self-employed carpenter.

Imagine? this is what i tell those i love that they should never expect anything from any Nigerian games because it has brought more sadness to people than good of recent, why die for another person who's gaining either win or lose?

An SE draw is a + to me, because "blessed is a Nigerian that has no expectation from the SE for he shall never be disappointed" tongue

I don't believe this story jorrrr. Is it that the guy didn't expect Argentina to score any goal or he expected that we'll just win the match like a walk over. Rubbish. If the story is true then it's either the guy was very sick before, or maybe he FOOLISHLY had a bet with someone with all his money. It all does't make sense to me. Wetin Italian man go come do when Paraguay score dem?

My neighbor, a mother of 4, also died in the early hours of Sunday morning after suffering a heart attack when Argentina attempted to score another goal. Although, she had being very sick before this time and was diagnosed of having high blood pressure and other related illness. She was a staunch football lover, who met her untimely death through our useless super chickens.

What a sad ending!!!!!

Abi o, after all I don't recall of people dieing during the period of Amodu's heart attack football. This why it good for our commentators to down play expectation. I can still remember a man in my area who died after Zambia scored the first goal against us in the ANC finals of '94. But at least in his own case he had bet big money. His family eventually used part of the winnings to bury him.

i am happy for amodu who killed those things that kill ppl in me while he was the nigerian coach.
if not for amodu, i would have been on the danger list by now.
