Remembering Samuel Okwaraji: 28 Years After (PHOTOS) - Sports




Today, 12th of August, 2017, makes it exactly 28 year since the exit of Nigeria’s first football martyr, Samuel Sochukwuma Okwaraji‎.
The sad event occurred on a tension-soaked Saturday, 12th August, 1989, during a make or mar Italia 1990 World Cup qualifier match, between the Green Eagles and the boastful Angolan side.

we recalls that the pulsating encounter was held at the now pathetic and rickety National Stadium, in Surulere, Lagos.
