The first man to lift the AFCON as captain for Nigeria and the first African to lift the trophy as both captain and coach in 1980 & 1994 and he was a proud & confirmed Igbo man

It was Late Stephen Keshi that lifted the trophy in 1994 not Christian Chukwu.

He didn't represent Igbo land, but Nigeria, just as the likes of Mathematical Segun Odegbemi in the same 1980 class.

You're older than this pettiness.

Keshi is ahead of him.

He was a figure head Coach under Clemence Westerhoff

You're in Lagos Nigeria in Ebute Metta, selling Spare parts of Honda Vehicles.

You're doing as a Nigerian dealing with everyone from every where, not dealing as Igboman, but as a proud Nigerian

You can celebrate any sportsortsman anyway you like, I chose to celebrate this one who is my tribesman how I want

I am an Igboman first before any other thing in Nigeria

Christian Chukwu was a patriotic Nigerian SOLDIER, who gave his ALL for his country and for the badge.

He wasn’t a primitive tribalist like you, so get lost.

What a great Soccer Legend… with Enugu Rangers and Super Eagles with the likes of Okala, the great goal-keeper. Nigeria was on top in their time. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

You are so wrong.

LIFE DEFINITELY CONTINUES AFTER WHAT WE CALL “DEATH”.

You simply shed your physical body.

But you remain VERY MUCH ALIVE.

This is the truth the system hides from you, but you will find out when it’s your turn.

Stop carrying fake rumor and stories. There was an Egyptian coach who was the first , followed by Steven keshi . Chukwu was never a head coach but Keshi was an he was the first Nigeria indigenous coach that led the SE to lift the trophy for the second time and as the first player and coach to achieve that feat in Nigeria

Just reminding you bigots the talent from the side which you think you are always in competition with. We do things effortlessly while you struggle to compete with us.

You are looking at wrongly. His tribe is Igbo, the poster acknowledged him as a Nigerian and a pround Igbo man. That should be an issue.

This is the truth the system hides from you, but you will find out when it’s your turn.

Hve you been dead before? We are talkin about whats obvious and you are talking about a spirit...
The spirit continues but definitely not in your own conscious past... As long as your loved ones cant see you anymore, cant communicate with you and cant touch you, your past existence is gone..
Truly, plato stated that the spirit migrates to the other world...

Sartre said death expatiated our existence as meaningless...
Socrate said the moment you died you are aware of nothing maybe you are alive or not...
Death seizes it all only your soul lives on but at the absence mind of the owner..

I once met with him and had a friendly chat years back in Abakaliki as a youth Corper
He was warm, friendly and welcoming!
