I just don’t trust those boys sagging while playing

Oh Okwaraji (x3)
Iwo nikan lowo Baba
Iwo nikan lowo Mama
Tan ba gba boolu l'orun, ko ge won lege ara

Pastoshizzy:
Must you drag Okwaraji's memory into your mediocrity. The man was an icon of his time. Angola laughing right now.

Mediocrity kwa?

As at the time S.O died Nigeria had never played in the world cup and had only one Afcon title. Since then it has attended several world cups, won an Olympic gold medal and won two more Afcon titles. At one time the SE were ranked 8th in the world.

How does this drag S.O name into mediocrity? What is wrong with SO being remembered and SE winning a game that SO would have attended cheering them on were he alive?

Who oparaji help?

Make una nor go put the players for unnecessary pressure!
The past is the past!
The focus should be to win Angola as an opponent not to appease a fallen hero!

What happened that day - to Okwaraji - was a tragedy. There is no need to romanticize it as some heroic, selfless sacrifice. A man lost his life on a football pitch. A star cut short in the prime of his life. There are other ways to honor his memory, rather than cheaply using his death as a subplot to a football game. Well, sensationalism is the name of the business in Nigerian journalism these days.

Angola denying Nigeria a place at the 2006 World Cup would have even made for a better narrative.

We will 👀

broadman20:




After beating them you will hide your face in shame.

Okay o!

Thinking about Okwaraji would pile more pressure on the players, they should just focus on the match and play with same or even more ginger they used against Cameroun.


They can dedicate the victory to him after the winning.

MDVCONSULTANTS:
Super eagles should be able to beat Angola if they play the way they did with Cameroon

Cameroon? Are u playing? Wetindem play?

Danidinho4:


Same feeling Arsenal gave me last season

Any Arsenal fan that's feeling this way must be a new fan

What has this got to do with Okwaraji. We've faced Angola many times after his death

Naughtysex:
I have a feeling that Nigeria will beat Angola

Angola:0 Nigeria;10👍

SQLmastar:

Remembering Samuel Okwaraji: Why Super Eagles must secure victory over Angola in honour of his heroic sacrifice on the pitch

On the fateful day of August 12, 1989, Nigerian football experienced a tragedy that left an indelible mark on the sport's history. A talented and dedicated midfielder Samuel Okwaraji collapsed on the pitch during a crucial World Cup qualifying match against Angola.

This article aims to delve into the circumstances surrounding Okwaraji's untimely demise and emphasize why the Super Eagles must honour his memory by securing victory over Angola on Friday.

The tragic incident that lead to Okwaraji's dismiss

Samuel Okwaraji, born on May 19, 1964, was more than just a football player; he was a symbol of passion and commitment to the beautiful game. As the Super Eagles faced Angola in the 1990 World Cup qualifying match, Okwaraji, who had been an integral part of the team, gave his all on the field. However, tragedy struck in the 77th minute when he suddenly collapsed due to congestive heart failure.

Despite immediate efforts to revive him, Okwaraji tragically lost his life on the pitch. The shocking incident sent shockwaves through the football community, highlighting the physical toll and challenges faced by athletes in the pursuit of excellence.

Honoring Okwaraji's legacy

In the aftermath of Okwaraji's death, the football community mourned the loss of a talented player and a true patriot. His dedication to the game and his country inspired many, making it imperative for future generations to remember his sacrifice.

As the Super Eagles takes on Angola in the quarterfinal of the Africa Cup of Nations on Friday, February 2, they carry the responsibility of upholding Okwaraji's legacy, and beyond the pursuit of victory, the team must play with the spirit and determination that he embodied. This serves as a tribute to a fallen hero who gave his all for the love of the game.

Why the Super Eagles must defeat Angola?

Defeating Angola on the football field becomes more than just a quest for points; it transforms into a symbolic act of respect and remembrance for Samuel Okwaraji. The Super Eagles must approach this encounter with a sense of purpose, understanding that the match against Angola is an opportunity to honour a man who made the ultimate sacrifice for the sport.

Additionally, securing victory over Angola becomes a testament to the resilience of Nigerian football. It demonstrates that despite the tragic loss of one of their own, the Super Eagles remain a force to be reckoned with – a team that channels adversity into strength and determination.

Samuel Okwaraji's legacy goes beyond his achievements on the football field. His tragic death serves as a reminder of the physical and emotional toll that athletes endure in their pursuit of excellence.

As the Super Eagles take on Angola on Friday they must let the encounter be a tribute to Okwaraji's memory – a celebration of his passion, dedication, and the indomitable spirit that defines Nigerian football. May his sacrifice never be forgotten, and may the Super Eagles continue to soar in his honor.

Your trash came too early. You need a crash curse on ATTITUDE, but not to worry..you go collect (elsewhere).
