The history of the India national football team dates back to the 1920s. They have never played in the World Cup, although they qualified for one in 1950.

In 2017, Jeakson Singh etched his name in the history books of Indian football forever as he scored India’s first-ever goal in a FIFA competition. Well, that was the story the world believe. In Nigeria, most of us believe that the Indian National team didn't score their first-ever goal in a FIFA competition in 2017, they scored 99 goals against the Nigerian National team a long time ago.

No matter where you were born or where you spend your youthful days, you must have heard the story of how India defeated Nigeria 99 goals to one.

The Competition Committee have confirmed that El Clasico has been postponed and won't be held at the
Camp Nou on October 26, as originally scheduled.
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona will now have to set a new date for the meeting and communicate their decision with the Committee before 10:00 on Monday, October 21.
In the event of a date not being agreed, the Committee will set one themselves.
A statement released officially dismissed LaLiga 's requests to change the calendar and have the game played at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu .Barcelona are due to host Real Madrid in Spain’s biggest fixture at Camp Nou on October 26.
But this week nine Catalan political leaders were jailed on Monday for between nine and 13 years, for their part in the controversial independence referendum in 2017.
That has sparked political unrest in the region with El Prat airport in Barcelona temporarily closed on Tuesday, grounding 100 flights.
The Catalan Football Federation suspended all matches in the region on Monday, although that ruling does not affect La Liga matches or the Spanish national team.
However, another demonstration has been planned on the same day in the city.

The Bible makes us to understand that God created all things and that includes "Lucifer" the devil. And also , the Bible makes us to understand that no body is perfect except God. My question is if God is perfect, was he right in creating the devil with all the devil did as said in the bible?

Najila Trindade has revealed the difficulties she is going through after accusing Neymar of rape at the start of June.
The Brazilian model accused the Paris Saint-Germain forward of raping her in a Paris hotel on May 15.
"I'm recovering physically, mentally and psychologically because the pain was so great," she told UOL Esporte.
"Yes, I'm going to a psychiatrist. They've helped me a lot because I couldn't manage everything that had happened, it all happened at once.
"Many things at a time, I started to suffer on May 15 and my life has gone downhill ever since.
"It's like a hurricane has passed through my head."
Trindade, 26, believes she's been treated unfairly in the media and in the judicial system in Brazil.
"I feel like they've taken advantage of my desperation, my trauma and my disorientation," she went on.
"What worries me even more is how they're treating this case in Brazil - in an ignorant and inhumane manner.
"I'm suffering reprisals because people still don't understand what really happened."
She also feels as if she's being condemned in a sexist environment.
"Since everything happened, no one has come up to me to help me," she said.
"The way which things are today clearly shows this.
"I've not received support at any moment purely because it's about Neymar
"It's a circumstance that is strangling me and I can say that it must be the same cry for help without an echo from a woman that is being raped."
The model revealed that people tried to take advantage of her vulnerability in her situation.
"Because I was very weak, without energy and on lots of medicine, I couldn't continue my fight," she continued.
"It was then when people who only wanted to take advantage of my deplorable situation came into my life.
"As a result, I was exposed in the media and everyone had access to my privacy."
After the incident, Trindade revealed that she and her seven-year-old son were forced to move house.
"I'm protecting him from this terrible situation which is killing me," she said.
"We have no access to the Internet here, nor do we watch TV. But now he's going back to school and this is my worry.
"Sometimes I go out to the shops and people recognised me, take photos and some laugh and others seem indifferent."
She is now looking to rebuild her life following what she has gone through.
"It's not the first time that sexism and injustice has destroyed me," she stated.
"This time it had a bigger impact, but I have faith and I hope that this storm will pass.
"Before anything, I want to have a new life, find myself again because I've lost myself in all the crossfire.
"I'm getting stronger day after day because of my son, because I know he needs me and I have to bring him up so that he's not a sexist and violent man in the future, with which there isn't a good example in Brazil, unfortunately."

Non venomous snake

As the most populous country on the African continent, the Republic of Nigeria is known as the “Giant of Africa.” Its diverse landscapes and climatic conditions, including rainforest, coastal plains, mangroves and vast savannah, account for Nigeria’s wide biodiversity of flora and fauna, including abundant species of snakes. Among them are several venomous ones: the West African carpet viper, gaboon viper, puff adder and black-necked spitting cobra.
West African Carpet Viper
Primarily nocturnal, the West African carpet viper (Echis ocellatus) is 1 to 2 feet long with speckled light to dark brown dorsal scales and a light-colored belly. A sidewinder, it lifts its upper body, braces its head and pulls the remaining coils along without touching the ground at an angle. It ranges throughout Nigeria in its natural habitat of forest edges and savannah, up to 3,000 feet above sea level.
The carpet viper accounts for 90 percent of the snake bites in Nigeria, and 60 percent of human snakebite fatalities -- mostly farmers and young children, according to the Medical Journal of Therapeutics. The carpet viper’s breeding season coincides with heavy rainfall during the annual monsoon season, driving it to seek shelter in higher, drier habitats to lay eggs. Farmers, most of whom harvest crops by hand, are at high risk from these aggressive snakes, whose potent hemotoxic venom make it the most dangerous snake in all Africa and, in terms of morbidity and mortality, the most dangerous snake in the world. Victims experience blistering, swelling, hemorrhaging and tissue damage that may result in necrosis.
Gaboon Viper
Ranging throughout the tropical rainforests and other moist regions of East and West Central Africa, the terrestrial gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica) hunts for rodents, birds and frogs during the evening hours. A heavy snake, it ranges from 4 to 6 feet and its brown color and leaf-shaped head provide excellent camouflage under leaves on the forest floor. Viviparous, the gaboon viper gives birth to 30 to 60 live young.
Infamous for having the longest fangs among snakes, up to 2 inches, the gaboon viper is responsible for several snakebites in Nigeria each year; its potent venom is deadly to humans, if not treated promptly.
Puff Adder
The puff adder (Bitis arietans) is distributed throughout North Africa. Non-aggressive and sluggish, it's responsible for 60 percent of reported snake bites, making it one of the most dangerous snakes on the continent. Its potent venom is cytotoxic and injected by front-hinged fangs that fold out when the mouth opens and retract when it closes, like a switchblade knife. Human victims of their bite will die if not treated within 26 hours, or deep necrosis may set in, requiring amputation of the affected body part.
Adult puff adders generally reach about 3 feet long with dull yellow, orange, brown and beige markings providing excellent camouflage. Preferring open grassland, savannah, open woodlands and rocky outcrops, they prey upon rodents and birds.
Black-Necked Spitting Cobra
Displaying a characteristic open hood, the black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis) spits when provoked. It's a highly venomous snake responsible for many human bites and fatalities every year in its range from Nigeria to Namibia. This olive-brown snake with the black back and a yellow to red underbelly has a broad, dark-colored throat band. It's nocturnal and preys on toads, lizards, grasshoppers and rodents. Females grow up to 6 feet and males are about 4.5 feet long. Females lay 10 to 20 eggs (oviparous) each breeding season.
Non-Venomous Snake Species
In Nigeria, many snakes are difficult to identify; both poisonous or non-poisonous species meet with certain death if they crawl near human habitation. Due to the high incidence of snakebites, many farmers raise pigs, which are immune to snakebites, to clear the land of snakes. Deforestation, mistaken identity and a taste for snake meat have all had a negative impact on the non-venomous snake population in the region, including those species that are useful to humans by keeping rodent populations in check
