BoldBrainz:


Funny enough, about 65percent of the first team was dominated by Igbos and never were we ever concerned about the issue of tribe. We all just grew up enjoying the ball played by these players and believing in their collective capacity to achieve greatness.

Atlanta '96 is a memory that's evergreen. That gold medal saw Nigerians hitting the streets that evening in wild celebrations. I remember having about 4 bottles of that slim fanta, all provided by neighbours who were all scattered in the open in a party-like frenzy. For an entire week, I and my cousin went to and returned from school with different assorted snacks ranging from cabin biscuits, yoyo sweets, locally made pancakes, etc.

Angelfrost:


Evergreen and unforgettable moments... For a moment then, a greater Nigeria felt possible.

Same feeling when Abacha died, and Abdulsalam announced a transition to democracy.

Nigeria's problems are beyond this world.

The second afcon that Nigeria won after the1980 own.
I remembered the semi final match against Côte d'Ivoire,they wan kill us e remain small,it was afternoon I just returned from school,I was in JSS 2 then,no light for my area,and we went to the mosque compound to watch the match,the match was second half and Côte d'Ivoire was leading us 2-1,everywhere was tense,na Ben Iroha,the left back save us with an equalizer.
Full time finished,extra time no goals,then penalty kick.
Côte d'Ivoire lost on penalty.

Final match against Zambia,na Amunike two goals won the trophy for Nigeria,after Zambia went a goal up.
We won,and the celebration was wild in our street.
Those were times that that I can die on top Nigeria football,not the ones we are watching now.

madridguy:
Elder state man, even as an old baba then i remember clearly the tempo of the match. I can still recall one shot from Yekini that one of the Côte d'Ivoire zangolo out... I still remember their main man then, Abdullahi traore, the guy name no commot for the commentator match...
There was a rumour back then that they the both team were camped in same hotel, Nigeria is down floor while Ivory coast were up, so on the day of the match, they dropped some fetish eggs from up and unknowingly our boys stepped on it and this weaken their legs on the pitch

I just dey remember my late uncles we watched the match together.

Axis313:
I can also recall USA '94,when we are grouped together with Argentina,Bulgaria and Greece,we won Bulgaria 3-0 in our first ever world cup match,losing narrowly to Maradona led Argentina 2-1 after Samson Siasia scored the opener,then beaten Greece 2-0 to top the group,only to lose to Italy who came third in their group 2-1 due to inexperience of one of our defenders who fell the trick of an Italian attacker to cause penalty which was converted by either Roberto or Dino Baggio (both are brothers I always mistook them for one another),I was so sad I refused to eat dinner when I reached home my mum no even send me,I went to bed on empty stomach.
But after the world cup,Nigeria was ranked 4th by FIFA,and that was the highest rank Nigeria has ever attained in the FIFA ranking.

MEGAWATCH:
Hmmmmm!

Out of 11 players, one ethic group has 5 players.

This life NO BALANCE at all.

Psady:
It was that wicked Roberto baggio that knowingly place the ball on our defenders hands ,just because they couldn't break thru our defence wall and time was running out ,I can't forget that experience. Same Roberto baggio took the spot kick and scored the winner goal. I was so happy they lost to Brazil in the final to a penalty shootout.

ehemwhy:
April 10,1994 , a Sunday.

An unforgettable day for me ! I was just 14 and in SS 1, went to watch the match in Gowon Estate, only the come back home to the news of my father's death .

Dad , I wish you were here , mum passed 25 years after you it wasn't easy but she raised us well .

I have become an accountant and an auditor just like you .

Mum said you always wanted twins, well my wife gave birth to twin girls .

FOJEM:
Nigeria played with 4-4-2 in those days, not 4-3-3.
Our team was quite solid!

3seriez:
The 1st football tournament I watched. Kalusha bwalya was a real senior man at this tournament.

Super Eagles formation was on point.
