Kelechi Iheanacho kicked off our AFCON 2021 to a flying start with a superb goal in a 1-0 win against the Pharaohs of Egypt. But do you know about the first ever AFCON goalscorer for the Super Eagles? What year did he score? Against which country did he score? Read on and discover some interesting similarities with this year's AFCON campaign. Credits; https://www.Instagram.com/officialsportchroniclesAsuquo Ekpe, the scorer of Nigeria’s first ever goal at the Africa Cup of Nations. Since Nigeria made her debut in the 1963 AFCON in Ghana, there have been a number of memorable moments. However, one of such moments was Nigeria’s first ever goal in the competition. This feat was achieved by Asuquo Ekpe, earning him a place forever in the history books. Asuquo Ekpe made his international debut for Nigeria on 6 Oct,1956 against Togo. He played his club football with Welch XI, Lagos Railways, Secretariat FC, Ibadan Lions, and Western Rovers during his active footballing career. Asuquo became the first Nigerian to score in the Africa Cup of Nations, scoring on the 73rd minute in a 6-3 defeat to United Arab Republic (Egypt). Nigeria also lost her second game four nil to Sudan a result that confirmed Nigeria’s elimination from the 1963 Afcon in Ghana. The Nigerian eighteen-man player to the 1963 Afcon was led by Brazilian Jorge Augusto Pena who was the head coach of the Green Eagles as they were then called. Asuquo Ekpe won "24 caps,14 goals"for Green Eagles during his career that lasted from 1956 to 1963. He was the older sibling of another Green Eagles star Effiong Ekpe and nephew of the famous Etim Henshaw, Who played for Duke Town Primary & Secondary Schools in the 1940s-1950s and was captain of the first national team that tour UK in 1949. In the match against Dahomey on 2 Feb,1963, they ( Asuquo & Effiong Ekpe) became the first siblings to play for Nigeria in the same game. The went on to play together for Nigeria a number of times. This earned him the nickname "Ekpe Senior". Asuquo Ekpe died on 30th of January 2016 in calabar.

[The END SARS footage was meant to show that cultists are sponsored by rich politicians. quote author=Awoo88 post=108730917]That BBC report is a joke, Apart from Kabaka and the NBM president (or whatever they call him), every other person was acting a script. The fact BBC is willing to use footage from unrelated events shows its underhandedness. The whole naija know say Aiye na Blackaxe and an dem be NBM. That reporter just got people together to act out what is already in the public domain. The idiot even went as far as using endsars footage he denied.[/quote] |

Where in the constitution are the approved hairstyles for Nigerians listed? We are talking about foundamental human rights. olasaad: Thank you ooo. How many parents can see their children keeping dreadlocks without first scolding him. No parents will be happy with such and even our society as a whole.
Even if you keep a friend that do dread or all this crazy hairstyles your parents will not like you to be moving with such person because of his crazy hair cut. And to the ladies how many of us do date this guys Few and your parents will always question the type of guy you are dating.
But I don't know why you guys always deceive people on the Internet. And please those of you that are castigating the man do feel free and take your crazy hair style to work next Monday. Thankyou Mr. Chairman say no to moral decadence in our society. |

Don't let him try it. My friend lost Thier dad's land in a high brow part of Uyo under similar circumstances. The elderly dad gave the first son money to survey the land, unknown to his siblings, he used his own name in the papers. Eventually, after thier parents died, he secretly sold off the property and used the proceeds to live posh with his wife and kids. In the process the seeds of a generational rift was sown. |

Iyaebe: He should go and sleep abeg.The same fate awaits him over and over again if he refuse to tame his wandering dick,let him keep searching till thy kingdom comes. I hate people who don't fault themselves. Listen to the 1st verse(1:10-1:13) very well, you'll see he is not absolving him self of blame in his troubled relationships. It takes humility to say what he said in the song. Tuface's humility has always amazed me. |

chetmann: That you topped others never meant you were smarter. When I was in school I hated academic protocols and curriculum. I never topped a class apart from my primary 5, I read outside the scheme topics that i find absorbing but it put me behind in position. In the end it paid off, i did better externally,I got admitted before the toppers,became an engineer,and got employed. In life generally our emotional intelligence ,persistence and grace leads the way to success than IQ and skill. Cheers. Story of my life. |
