26 years after Sam Okwaraji, an ex-Super Eagles attacker slumped and died in 1989 during a World Cup qualifier against Angola in Lagos; the family of the late player has announced to the world that Nigerian government has not proved that the country was worth dying for.

Pat Okwaraji, a brother of the late Sam Okwaraji said this on behalf of their family during the opening of Sam Okwaraji Memorial Football Competition at the Sam Okwaraji Stadium, Orlu in Imo. He further said that Nigerian heroes who died for the country, including his dear brother, were not properly honoured by the government. His words:

“We did not expect the Nigerian government to give Okwaraji’s family gold and silver. What we expected from the country is to immortalise our son who died for the nation. Nigeria should learn how to inspire young talents by celebrating them. When heroes are celebrated and immortalised, it will go a long way to inspire young talents.”.

So which Nation worth dying for?
