Samuel Okwaraji



Samuel Okwaraji was born on 19 May 1964 in Orlu, Imo State, Nigeria.

Okwaraji had a career in Europe which included playing for AS Roma (1984–1985), NK Dinamo Zagreb (1985–1986), Austria Klagenfurt (1986–1987), VfB Stuttgart (1987–1989) and SSV Ulm 1846 (loan) (1987–1988) while finishing his education in law. In his short stay with Dinamo Zagreb, Samuel scored 3 goals in a friendly game vs NK Budućnost Hodošan. The game was played on 30 April 1986, and Dinamo Zagreb won 12–0. Samuel's only official game for Dinamo in the Yugoslav First League was as a substitute on 18 May 1986 against FK Priština. The game was played at Maksimir stadium in Zagreb, the 29th round of 1985/86 season. Dinamo Zagreb won 4:3.

He was playing with Belgian side K. Berchem Sport at the time of his death.

He made the Green Eagles squad in 1988 and at that year's African Nations Cup where he scored one of the fastest goals in the history of the championship against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon. He played along until the final match, where the Eagles lost to their perennial rivals Cameroon by a lone goal. Okwaraji also made 4 appearances for the Nigerian Olympic team in 1988, one during the qualifiers, and 3 at the Olympics themselves in Nigeria's 3 games in the group D.

Last game and death
Okwaraji collapsed ten minutes from the end of a 1990 World Cup qualifier against Angola in Lagos. He died from possible complications of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as an autopsy showed that the 25-year-old had an enlarged heart and high blood pressure.

have you heard of Taoism , the art of not trying , because in trying to change things in its natural course we affect things little or make things even worse , we should just let things be Que sera sera , life is not fair and also very fair

You're welcome my brother. Sorry for disrupting your post. .

I'm a fan of historic happenings. Used to visit history Ville ( on Facebook) where this type of stories are posted a lot until they stopped updating their page. That's why I'm somewhat glued to your post.

Nice one.

, you are also awesome in creating awareness in our somewhat morally decadent generation, I see your works and appreciate them Mercy

DrPurple:

JohnOkolo:

Teejay13:
Great article indeed.

Thank you Jay , hows your morning so far ?

Blessedmercy8:
Sor Sor... You didn't include Samuel Okparaji.
I remember that year, my dad and his friends (
they were young bobos then) were just all the place talking about this guy's death. Chai!

oh yes I am still compiling The list and Samuel was included thank you and Good Morning Mercy

Chee59:
I heard that their family had a generational curse of dying young. I don't know if it is true.

it’s rare coincidence, Well humans evolved to perceive patterns , patterns in everything so when there is 2 or more deaths in a family , lineage or generation, it is considered a curse , which is nothing but coincidence as with every other thing , including texting you this morning
Hope you’re having a good morning?

Jolene201:
No special techniques.. Amazon is self publishing.

Good Morning Jolene and hope you remember to smile and have an amazing morning

dominique:
The horrific video of what was termed as the worst accident on set in Hollywood history. First time I watched it was on the history channel and the video was in close range (I doubt if primetime TV are allowed to show that kind of gore anymore). Both him and the girl were decapitated, the girl also had her entire arm chopped off. The boy was hit on the torso and was almost ripped into two and they all suffered severe burns that would have killed them if the helicopter blades hadn't. Till date, I don't think helicopters are allowed on closed sets because of this freak accident

Amazing but wow

Escobers Killer
Humberto Castro Muñoz, a bodyguard for members of a powerful Colombian drug cartel, was arrested on the night of 2 July 1994, confessing the next day to the killing of Escobar. Muñoz also worked as a driver for Santiago Gallón, who had allegedly lost heavily betting on the outcome of the game.

Andres Escober


On June 23, during the 1994 World Cup, Colombia — one of the favorites to win — dropped a 2-1 shocker to the United States, thanks in part to an own goal from Colombia's Andres Escobar. He attempted to block a shot but instead dribbled the ball past his own goalkeeper

In a just world, this would've simply been an embarrassment for Escobar — instead, it wound up sealing his fate. On July 1, Escobar was at a restaurant in his hometown of Medellin, Colombia. He got into an argument with some patrons over the goal, and the patrons ended the argument by shooting him multiple times. According to The Independent, one of them shouted "thanks for the own goal!" as he shot him.

According to Fox News, the shooter, a gangster named Humberto Munoz Castro, received 42 years in prison, though he got out after just 11. His bosses and accomplices, Santiago and Pedron Gallon, never received punishment, as Castro refused to snitch on them. Gangsters getting involved caused many to suspect that, in addition to being fans, Escobar's killers were heavily involved in drug trafficking and gambling, and that a lot of money rode on Colombia making it through. Since they didn't, the gangsters blamed the own-goal guy (even though the rest of the team played badly, too), and made sure it was the costliest error of his life.

Christina Grimmie


Christina was an up-and-coming 22-year-old superstar. She had just wowed viewers on The Voice, placing third in her season, and was branching out on her own. That is, until a crazed fan named Kevin James Loibl murdered her in front of stunned fans on June 10, 2016.



As reported by Click Orlando, Loibl was described by his friend, Cory Dennington, as a severe loner who, over the previous year or so, had grown psychotically attached to Grimmie. He would watch her videos on YouTube non-stop, altered his appearance (through Lasik, teeth whitening, and hair implants) so he might look good for her, and got angry whenever Dennington pointed out that the chances of Loibl winning Grimmie's heart were less than slim to none. Finally, Loibl decided to meet Grimmie, and apparently decided that if he couldn't have her, nobody could.

On June 10, Grimmie was signing autographs after a show when Loibl approached. Rather than getting something signed and leaving like everyone else, Loibl grabbed the guns he had somehow smuggled into the building and shot the singer. Her brother quickly grabbed Loibl, who managed to escape, only to shoot himself dead right after. Grimmie passed shortly thereafter.


Kevin James Loibl
After their performance ended at 10:00 p.m. local time, Grimmie signed autographs inside the venue. At 10:24 p.m., Grimmie was shot by 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl after initially opening her arms to give him a hug. As witnesses fled the scene, Loibl was tackled by Grimmie's brother, and the men scuffled

JOHN LENON





Outside of the death itself, perhaps the worst thing about John Lennon's death at the hands of Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, is that it happened for virtually no reason at all.

Chapman was reportedly a Beatles fan earlier in his life, but he wasn't truly obsessed with Lennon until Chapman himself experienced a religious awakening. And he wasn't driven by some subliminal message he supposedly heard, but by the hypocrisy he thought he heard in Lennon's lyrics. In addition to that, Chapman targeted Lennon simply because he thought killing someone famous would make him famous, too. To that end, he approached Lennon, asked for an autograph, got it, and then came back later to shoot him dead. All because he wanted fame. He got infamy instead.



We know this to be his motive, because he's admitted as much. When up for parole — for the ninth time — in September 2016, he told the board (as quoted by the Telegraph) that he had "a true sociopathic mind," and that he wanted to "shoot [Lennon] so that [Chapman] could be somebody." Unsurprisingly, the parole board stone-cold rejected his request for freedom, just as they had done eight times in the past. He was up for parole again in 2018, but received his tenth rejection to the surprise of absolutely no one.

ALBERT EBOSSE




Cameroonian soccer star Albert Ebossé reportedly died at the hands of fans after a match on August 23, 2014 in Algeria. According to The Guardian, the 24-year-old striker and his JS Kabylie teammates were leaving the field after losing to USM Alger. The players were reportedly being showered by projectiles hurled by angry fans when something struck Ebossé in the head. The object supposedly dented his skull, killing him, but that story has since come under question. As reported in The Guardian, "A new autopsy has claimed that [Ebossé] was stabbed and brutally beaten to death in the changing rooms..." Pathologists said the player suffered from more than just head trauma, including a cervical vertebrae rupture and other wounds indicating a struggle. At the time of this writing, it seems there may be more to Ebossé's death than an out of control fan, but considering soccer is a sport that has incited entire countries to go to war, we're keeping all theories on the table until further notice.
