Remembering Samuel Okwaraji: Why Super Eagles must secure victory over Angola in honour of his heroic sacrifice on the pitch

On the fateful day of August 12, 1989, Nigerian football experienced a tragedy that left an indelible mark on the sport's history. A talented and dedicated midfielder Samuel Okwaraji collapsed on the pitch during a crucial World Cup qualifying match against Angola.

This article aims to delve into the circumstances surrounding Okwaraji's untimely demise and emphasize why the Super Eagles must honour his memory by securing victory over Angola on Friday.

The tragic incident that lead to Okwaraji's dismiss

Samuel Okwaraji, born on May 19, 1964, was more than just a football player; he was a symbol of passion and commitment to the beautiful game. As the Super Eagles faced Angola in the 1990 World Cup qualifying match, Okwaraji, who had been an integral part of the team, gave his all on the field. However, tragedy struck in the 77th minute when he suddenly collapsed due to congestive heart failure.

Despite immediate efforts to revive him, Okwaraji tragically lost his life on the pitch. The shocking incident sent shockwaves through the football community, highlighting the physical toll and challenges faced by athletes in the pursuit of excellence.

Honoring Okwaraji's legacy

In the aftermath of Okwaraji's death, the football community mourned the loss of a talented player and a true patriot. His dedication to the game and his country inspired many, making it imperative for future generations to remember his sacrifice.

As the Super Eagles takes on Angola in the quarterfinal of the Africa Cup of Nations on Friday, February 2, they carry the responsibility of upholding Okwaraji's legacy, and beyond the pursuit of victory, the team must play with the spirit and determination that he embodied. This serves as a tribute to a fallen hero who gave his all for the love of the game.

Why the Super Eagles must defeat Angola?

Defeating Angola on the football field becomes more than just a quest for points; it transforms into a symbolic act of respect and remembrance for Samuel Okwaraji. The Super Eagles must approach this encounter with a sense of purpose, understanding that the match against Angola is an opportunity to honour a man who made the ultimate sacrifice for the sport.

Additionally, securing victory over Angola becomes a testament to the resilience of Nigerian football. It demonstrates that despite the tragic loss of one of their own, the Super Eagles remain a force to be reckoned with – a team that channels adversity into strength and determination.

Samuel Okwaraji's legacy goes beyond his achievements on the football field. His tragic death serves as a reminder of the physical and emotional toll that athletes endure in their pursuit of excellence.

As the Super Eagles take on Angola on Friday they must let the encounter be a tribute to Okwaraji's memory – a celebration of his passion, dedication, and the indomitable spirit that defines Nigerian football. May his sacrifice never be forgotten, and may the Super Eagles continue to soar in his honor.

I made a post on my Facebook about my accommodation issues in school and how I needed help with a new one.

This guy went to my DM and asked me to delete the post, that he’d help me.

Asked me to come to Umuahia from Calabar, I asked for tfare, he asked me to come first with mine, after all na me dey find help.

I traveled down two days later, got to Umuahia only for the guy to tell me to find a place to lodge and he’d join me later because he had to attend to an emergency.😳

I managed to lodge with what I had which was even a deposit and told the hotel receptionist that my host will balance up when he comes.

He came later in the night with “Nutri Milk and Bread”.😡

He coerced me into having $3x with him based on say I dey vulnerable to his help.😭

4am he took excuse to rush to go for another emergency.

Na so Orjiako Emmanuel Japa from the hotel and left me stranded o.🙆🏽‍♂️

Balance of hotel e nor pay.
Food e nor give me chop.
Transport e nor give.
Money for rent e promise e nor give

Blocked me everywhere and left me in more vulnerable and terrible state.😭😡

Nobody treats any human like that no matter what
You don’t ride on people’s desperation to make yourself feel good.

Orjiako Emmanuel is a terrible human and he should be famous by force!!!

Here is his number

He cannot block the whole world!”

That tribalist FreeStuffsNG will soon come here and create topic because the person is Yoruba.

The guy doesn't even think like a normal person beyond tribalism. I don't know why he wasn't banned permanently.

Seun if you want to clean Nairaland accounts like FreeStuffsNG should be banned permanently. He only created topics for one tribe and intentionally avoids achievements of southeast southsouth of Northerners.

Ban that account permanently!

Ideally I wouldn’t respond to you but look at how vile your Heart is because you support Peter Gregory Obi alias Giringori and I don’t. Politics is all about tactics and this would have been a great move but alas! This is why you people can never reach that seat of Presidency. Wickedness and hate is all you carry in your Heart.
Anyway I wish you x4 all that you have wished me. Amen!

Good news.... At least Let's see if things could change from this evil of a party called APC. Very inept, creating difficulties here and there, almost in every aspect of life. I never see.

Not sure of the news though, Kwankwaso, almost debunk this 2 days ago.

Thunder ll fia kwankwaso! Na today he wan do merger?

Atiku still wan rule Nigeria?

Just like Buhari n this common criminal wanted to rule by all means n ended up ruling.

Hope say una don see food chop today?

nastyesco:
Same way you go to the Police station and its boldly written on the wall that bail is free…yet you will never regain your freedom from police cell without paying bail.

Its not their fault, I blame Peter Obi, if he stepped down for Atiku we won’t have APC Govt now look at us.

So guys we need to understand that women are drawn to protectors and alpha and strong men. It is how they are wired.

Something happens to a Nigerian man when he gets abroad and the women notice it. The man gets emasculated by society.

He goes from being a strong figure of authority in Africa to an unwanted disrespected black man in the west.

Even a 17 year old white boy on the job can almost slap that 40 year old naija man on the job and he will be shaking and calling the 17 year old boy, Sir.

The man is emasculated by society. Goes from being an alpha dog in naija to a puppy in the west.

Our women sense these things and to a woman if you are not an alpha dog you are just useless.

You start emptying the trash and making breakfast and washing dishes now as the man. Jobs that you used to hire maids to do for you in naija.

Not only can a 17 year old white boy disrespect you on the job but you are now a dishwasher at home. You have no value in society.

Anywhere you turn up you are not celebrated but tolerated.

After a while the woman starts to see that this guy is truly worthless to me, why do I need to coexist with this emasculated societal reject ?

I am better off by myself and I can get a better job than him here as a nurse.

He has become a burden to me.

This is why most women chase their husbands away from home after they both relocate abroad
