Seriously, thank you. You are mouthed!

But he deleted where I quoted him as first to comment just not to reveal his I.d.

But how the lie spread across the entire country is a mistery

DREAMHOMES6970:
But how the lie spread across the entire country is a mistery

exactly. Because I heard mine in minna in the 80s

Sheuns:
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.

That he died after kicking the ball that changed to stone...
Today, we now know it's all chaolin soccer

Omo ,i don't even know how manage somebody believed it.on top of this,i can remember when my elder sister will tell me that their basic science teacher's husband works in the sun and they once went there for excursion.The people there are yellow in complexion and also kind .
She went ahead to add to the collection of lies by tellling me every student in the school have a personal nanny and they return home on a floating board.
She also once told me that they went to the zoo and saw olden days people,they look like apes and they're as tall as iroko tree.childishly,i believed it completely without any iota of doubt and even went ahead to tell all my friends.

Lukuluku69:


Lol

Sam Okwaraji came into the picture later. The lie predates him.

In my time, it was Thunder Balo

Yes ooo! It was Thunder balogun they told us back then, even added that there was a stake that if Nigeria could score just a goal we've won the match , so when India was leading by 99 _0 , The great thunder balogun got angry and decided to take a very long range shot not minding what the ball had turned into ,that was how we got a goal and won that match. Hmmm those bros that gave us these lamba surely have a lot to answer.

So true , you just brought back those golden but foolish memories , It was said a loud voice from no where was heard saying " Thunder balogun remember your left leg" that was how he shot the ball without any fear into the net. Hia! Person so foolish oo to believe this lies back then even till adulthood .

Bros no be small Lamba.

And we believed it back then.

Obyangel:
Some claimed Samuel Okparaji scored and died in the match. Old folks were terrible liers, Lie Mohammed dey learn work.

the previous generation no sabi lie

rickleye:


And that was why India was banned from playing soccer so they play cricket

They were actually banned because they refused to wear football boots

nicedayontop:
This lie has been passed from generation to generation. Infact,few yrs ago l told some ss3 students in my sch and they never doubted it because india has never refuted it and again indians don't play in WC again.

lol.. you're part of the problem

Football has never been the national sport of India, it's cricket.

pls dont kill me with laugh, why bringing this here ?

Na true o!!

The short fired by the Indian striker tore the net and still on the move today lolzzz

BBC and ESPN showed it live

Tokziby:


The original version was about Teslim Balogun aka Thunder Balogun and the myth about his left leg that ended up killing his only brothe as u said.
It can't be Samuel Okwaraji cos we witness his death in 1989 at the Mainbowl of the national stadium in Surulere. After his death Kolington Ayinla (old school Fuji artist) paid tribute to him in his song few years later as well as Nelson Mandela when he gained freedom from the prison after 27yrs.

There was even a Segun Odegbami version sef.




The Okparaji own was the most recent of them. I think Okparaji entered into the story in the mid 1990s.

He is a serial criminal scammer and is here to promote his begging advert scam.
Go to your church or mosque to beg and stop using different monikers on NAIRALAND to swindle people.
You have used over 50 monikers to beg. If you are genuine, you should have been known with one moniker. Using many is a clear indication you are a fraud.
The way I see it, you'll soon get deliverance from the Devil. Keep thinking you are deceiving people. There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed; covered that will not be opened.
The great day of your revelation is at hand. Be expectant, because surely it will come.

During my childhood days, Okwaraji was not in the picture as he was not known then, the hero that scored Nigeria only goal then was Teslim Thunder Balogun

Someone should pls narrate the real story to me. Did Nigeria truly played against India? What happened? Am very curious too

God abeg, how indomie generation take enter my life na..😂?

As children in the mid 80s to mid 90s, we were raised with this story of a historical football match Nigeria played with India.

"Nigerian Legend" had it that we were losing to India by 99 goals and it was decided that if we could score just ONE goal against the Indian team, we were to be declared Champions. The spice in this recipe is that the story claimed the Indian team smuggled "voodoo-ism" into the match, so much so that the ball was turning to all manner of devious things and beasts everytime the Nigerian players touched it..😂.
Funny and stupid, right?
So in order to be fair to Nigerians, a lone goal was all we needed to score to win the match, and the Legendary "Samuel Okwaraji" the "Eze-bunafor" of the Nigerian team, seized an opportunity in the last minutes of the game and sacrificed himself by kicking and scoring the ball while it flamed like a ball of fire.

We won the match by 1 goal to India's 99. Samuel Okwaraji died a National hero. India got banned from anything football to this day. And even at this point where I'm narrating this story to you, I feel very foolish for having believed it in my childhood..😂!

Awwn..😍. You sweet adorable doll. Grow up fast for me joh..😎!

Vinnie2000:


With that movie Shaolin Soccer,

there is High POSSIBLITY that such a Match took place somewhere.🤔🤨🙂

They said no smoke without fire, but yet to get a gist of where it might possibly take place.

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.

Hahahahahahahaha, that lie nearly made me faint o.

Their National Sport;

Wrestling (Until 1610)
Kabaddi (Until 1924)
Hockey (1924 till Present)

Everyone thinks Cricket because they are World Champions and Control that sport worldwide through their massive finances and their sponsors.

1Sharon:
Football has never been the national sport of India, it's cricket.

You must find the match so interesting, read how it happened here

nairamaniac:

They are not playing till date becos fifa gave them hundred years ban. This was becos they were using jazz to play against every team.

Oh wow! That's serious

Frontdude:

Oh wow! That's serious

Yes it's serious. They scored more than 100 goals against other national teams.

Even the jazz affected all the cameras in any stadium they played in, that's why you wdnt see the highlights anywhere today.
