Was that the same tournament Oladimeji and Chris Ohenhen played?

There was this song they used to sing:

Oladimeji, he's a skilla
He pass the ball to Osando
Osando pass to Ohenhen
Ohenhen put inside the net
Ohenhen, put the ball oh, inside the net

Don't forget Complete Sports abi Complete Football. I believe it was N50.

You have not followed football in the 1990s if you did not buy Complete Sports magazine. I can forego lunch for a whole week just to buy that magazine.

I am sure the owner of that magazine never conducted those interviews, just probably ripped them off foreign newspapers. He made a killing boy. My first ever copy was before World Cup 1994 either the one they were talking about how Ruud Gullit has been banished from the Dutch team, or the one where Romario was giving interview saying this would be his last World Cup as he would be 32 by France 1998. That magazine dey trip me then ehn.

For Saudi 89, much was expected from Phillip Osondu but he didnt deliver. It was Chris Ohenhen, Chris Nwosu, Mutiu, Sam Elijah that bailed us out. Ohenhen was our freekick specialist, he scored I think 3 freekicks in the tournament.

Later una go say Chelsea fan start to watch football pro abrhimovic era. The first match I watched was Atlanta 96. I can still remember, that match was played mid-night.

My first memory was Canada 87 final vs USSR, My mom wanted me to go sleep because it was late at night na popsie say make dem leave me. I am sure they all regretted it because na cry I cry till morning after USSR beat us on penalties and referee robbed us.

Nations cup I didnt miss any from Maroc 88, FA cup of the days of John Fashanu Wimbledon and Bruce Grobbelaar Liverpool, Then Serie A, Then football made in Germany was popular in Lagos then that was when I started supporting Bayern but as with youths of those days I still supported Ajax because of the Naija connection.

Ibime:
Why did none of these guys make National team except Headmaster? I believe Chris Ohen had a decent career in Spain. I used to see him on Championship Manager as late as 1998.

Another guy who is probably Naijas 2nd best AM of all time was Oruma, but injuries and Okocha stunted his Eagles career, though he resurfaced quite strongly in the 2000s with Marseille and sometimes with Eagles. That guy was too talented jor. I even naturally like his style of play compared to Okochas riskier style. He was a very European style of playmaker, low risk, but great passing.

Some of those 89 set no quick go Europe and got stuck in the Nigerian league I know Adepoju and Ohenhen both played in Spain and

Oruma was good and had a good ball sense. but I heard he was very old. I heard say him bros all dem Kanu wella, So around 93 if dem Kanu be like 22, I hear say Oruma na almost 28 that time and has played many seasons in the Nigerian league

Welcome to Africa

Welcome to Nigeria 99

Welcome to the land where milk and honey grow...
A ki yin kabo sori Olura

Ekuabo sori olora..

My enduring memories from that tournament were the theme song, nepa taking light at night at the stadium in one or two games, and aghahowa stopping a goal bound shot by sitting on the ball.

What do you mean by watch Full leagues? Well for me. we no get cable so na only from my friend house I dey go watch
Made me remember the legendary uruguayan enzo francescoli, chilavert for velez sarsfield and that crazy edmundo.

Football rothmans of pall mall show. German fussbol ( me and my brother were always on the lookout for any frankfurt match highlights because of yeboah and jj. Oh my, oti pe gan o
94/95 I watched about half of Ajax games either live or the highlights.

EPL it was because of Nigerian guys like Amokachie in Everton under Joe Royle and later Babayaro that made me watch some games

96 I watched mainly Serie A. In 96, 97 98 the era Taribo and Ronaldo were in Inter I watched at least half of Inter and Juventus matches in the league

In 1997 Madrid The Capello Madrid. Where Pannuci, Carlos, Hierro, Seedorf, Raul, Amavisca, Karembeu, Bodo Illgner. I watched half of their games

From 93, I followed Bundesliga based on highlights alone, It was until 97 that I was able to watch many Bundesliga full lenght games live

In those days you are lucky yo get compressed highlights for like 30mins of each league, then watch football Americas to see South American clubs like U Catolica, Colocolo, Gremio, Corinthians

Most of the other knowledge of football was from reading Complete football and ISR(International Soccer Review) later world soccer magazines
