One story I totally believed while growing up.

It was said that the ball changed and shifted shape from stone, to lion to fire before Sam Okwaraji managed to kick it and scored the one goal that Nigeria needed to win a match they were losing by 99-0. How hilarious it is to believe such story.

Honestly I believed this nonsense story back then 😂😂

MrsTwrite:
What's going on here, I don't understand this.😂

You must be very young. Or grew up in a posh area to not know this.

Imdomie generation I would have explain it for you but am kind of busy.

butterfly777:

That means you're among the indomie generation. 😁

The stories were common among children growing in the 80s and 90s. I guess you were born in the late 90s or after that.

😂🤣The whole thing confused me, I was born in the mid 90s.

😂🤦‍♂️.

How can you not understand? Are you 17?

Padipadi:
Who remembered this lie? India 99-1 Nigeria. It should be the most successful lie in the history of Nigeria.
The indomie generation won't know this.

The weirdest thing was that adults who should have told us it was a fabrication didn't tell us. Was it that they also believed the story?

Even in the mid 90s, you ought to have grown with this story. Except you were born in a family that never shared stories sitting on verandahs under the moonlight.

Lol. Biggest scam of the century growing up. Many wont understand this post. 😂

Westerhoffe:
The day a neighbor was telling it me back then… I was just looking at him like…

.......like "dey play" 🙄

GanagiBitrus:
As a kid, you believe everything you are told.
Sadly, many have retained traits of such gullibility, growing into adulthood.

like the one they told that tinubu's certificate is fake.

Whoever started the lie, deserves awards[img]

They never did. I feel cheated 🥲

Imagine been born a a time when peak is no longer 450 and u never bought bag of rice for 5k !
May God bring back a better Nigeria than our fathers experience it!

Football was centre piece for everyone then and the super eagles is like the god of every home!
God there's nothing impossible for you to do pls restore hope and sanity in this country. Amen

jetguy:
I believe it die because i have the video🤥🤥

Where you for see the video?? You're obviously one of the gullible adults these politicians brainwash

The amazing thing about this story is that, it spread in Ghana too around that period and followed same pattern. The score line was also India 99 vs Ghana 1.

Awwn..
So they didn't tell you that when it rains while the sun is shining, a lion is somewhere in the jungle giving birth?

Never. Not even from my late mom or my dad.

Nonsense childhood story

We all believe that lie then and to my surprise we never investigate it.
Indian was banned from football because of that voodoo football.

But there is this movie called kung-fu soccer that football actually turns to lion 🦁. Lol

FADOS4SURE IS A WANTED SCAMMER, BE CAREFUL

To say I'm not disappointed in the behavior you portrayed is an understatement. We met in nairaland two years ago and you started teaching me forex, we lost contact and we reunited early last month. You promised to trade forex for me and I sent you $100=90,000 naira on 10th of August that we will be sharing the profit every two weeks. You should you are not in Switzerland schooling, I believed you like a mumu. Close to the time we will share the profit, you blocked me everywhere. I gave you enough time maybe something happened to you, but you didn't respond again. The 90k obviously pained me but I was more disappointed to find out that you are a scammer pretending to be a nice person. I will soon post your full address and all your account details, I can see you have like 13 accounts with GTB
