Yekini 2 -0 Zaire. Tunisia '94.

Check out that first goal. The ball didn't touch the floor!

Those two goals top it for me. For the first one...you didn't mention how Siasia controlled and brought the ball down calmly in the air from a Keshi long pass from the defence. That was really sweet!

Okwaraji's 1st minute goal against Cameroun was also fantastic.

Siasia's goal against Argentina, Amokachi and Finidi's against Greece, Kanu's 2goals against Brazil at Atlanta, Oliseh's screamer against Spain in France 98, then Amuneke's header against Bulgaria at USA 94.

So many beautiful goals to freshen the mind.

Lastly, an icing on the cake...Nigeria's goal against Tunisia to qualify us for our first world cup. That was a top class Finidi goal.

The goals that were not to be : Yekini's volley against Egypt at Tunisia 94 and his scissors kick against Spain at France 98. Sweet memories!

I'm still searching for clips of those goals. I remember them like it was yesterday.

I can only find clips of the Maroc '88 final (also against Cameroon), but if I remember correctly, Okwaraji's goal was in a group game.

Below is a clip of the game against South Africa.


National Stadium, Surulere. October 1992.
Nigeria 4 (Yekini [2], Siasia, Owobokiri) - 0 South Africa.

Yekini


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXxsP2GNc3k

Nigeria vs South Africa (October 1992). Yekini receives a very high pass from Samson Siasia. It seems too high, but Yekini controls it and fires a shot past the keeper.


Nigeria vs Gabon ( Tunisia 1994). Sunday Oliseh plays a long pass from defence. Yekini, with one touch, receives the ball and plays it over the keeper. He then heads the ball into the empty goal.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXxsP2GNc3k

Nigeria vs Zaire (Tunisia 1994). Oliseh plays a waist-high pass to Yekini. Yekini receives the ball and shoots it into the roof of the goal, all with one touch.


Nigeria vs Brazil (Atlanta 1996).Kanu Nwankwo stunningly controls the ball, tricks the defender with a dummy and guides the ball into the goal.


Nigeria vs Spain (France 1998). Sunday Oliseh's incredible shot.

Nigeria vs Cameroon (Maroc 1988). Samuel Okwaraji's incredible shot.

This is an opportunity to give credit to a group of people that have not really been acknowledged yet.

It was predicted that these elections would lead to violence. There were a lot of threats and mudslinging during the election campaign.

Former heads of state/presidents, who were worried about what was happening, decided to create a National Peace Accord Committee. The committee was mandated to do everything possible to ensure that the election process and its aftermath was peaceful.

Most of the heads of state are old and some have health challenges, so they appointed Abdulsalam Abubakar, who is the youngest former head of state, as chairman of the committee. Members of the committee included former top government officials (General Abubakar, Commodore Ukiwe, Chief Anyaoku), religious leaders (Cardinal Onaiyekan, Sultan Abubakar, Archbishop Okoh, Bishop Mathew Kukah), members of civil society groups (Princess Priscilla Kuye), members of the business community (Dangote), etc.

The committe got both President Jonathan and General Buhari to sign a peace accord. One of the sections of the accord states that the two parties would accept the result of the election.

Signing ceremony.

Members of the committee shuttled between the Aso Rock Villa and APC Headquarters on the night that the results were announced. They met both candidates and pressured them to keep to the terms of the agreement (some even allege that it was the committee that got the President to concede).
