Remembering Samuel Okwaraji 29 Years Later. by naptu2: 8:16am On Aug 12, 2018 |
naptu2: Okwaraji's super goal This is my favourite goal by Okwaraji. I searched YouTube for a video of this goal from 2008 till 2016 before I eventually found one. That's because most people on YouTube prefer to post videos of the final, which was also between Nigeria and Cameroon. This is a group stage match at the 1988 Nations Cup (Maroc '88) between Nigeria and Cameroon. Okwaraji scored in the second minute via a rocket shot from outside the penalty box (this is the kind of shot that Ernest Okonkwo would describe as an "intercontinental ballistic missile). It was the fastest goal at the Nations Cup at that time. The player that dribbled down the right and passed to Okwaraji was Rashidi Yekini. Roger Milla equalised in the 21st minute, via a bullet header that beat Peter Rufai and it ended Nigeria 1-1 Cameroon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY9ZYHyTVwU 22 Likes 6 Shares |

My elder brother told me he died cuz he fired a shot against India when India was beating Nigeria 99-0. That when he fired the shot the ball turned to stone. Well, I decided to continue the fable so I told it to one of my younger brother too. This one just went straight to google it He almost kill me with jest that day. All the lies my big bro told me I can't even do same on my younger ones cuz of google. And I can't take revenge on my big bro cuz he's now in the Military. 53 Likes 1 Share |

richeeyo: Nigeria squads in the 1980-90 period were 'good', but they usually found it hard to qualify for the World Cup....and they missed the 1986 Nations Cup. But record wise... Nations Cup 80 CHAMPIONS! Nations Cup 82: Out in first round (and lost to Algeria in the World Cup Qualifiers.). Nations Cup 84 : Lost 3-1 to Cameroon in the final at Abidjan (Yuck). Nations Cup 86: DNQ Nations Cup 88: Lost 1-0 to Cameroon in Maroc. in the final. Nations Cup 90: Lost 1-0 to Algeria in the final in Algeria. Kind of mixed..in a way. 2 Likes 1 Share |
