I remember too, but that okparaji part I didn't hear, very funny, only God knows who initiated the lie! Is there anyone in this forum who hear about thunder balogun story?

Sheuns:
One story I totally believed while growing up.

It was said that the ball changed and shifted shape from stone, to lion to fire before Sam Okwaraji managed to kick it and scored the one goal that Nigeria needed to win a match they were losing by 99-0. How hilarious it is to believe such story.

And that was why India was banned from playing soccer so they play cricket

This matter is still in court between some guys that argues alot, they even broke their heads in the argument

Vinnie2000:


Ogbeni, Thunder Balogun was NEVER mentioned in diz story.😏

It is PURELY Sam Okwaraji.😒

Thunder Balogun own is That, he has a Deadly Shot that broke the Wrists of most Lagos Goalkeepers. 😯😕

Ok.

Depending on who told the story though.

Thunder in my time never broke any Goalkeeper wrist but got the ball bursting through the bowels of a goalkeeper with his thunderous shot!

MrsTwrite:
What's going on here, I don't understand this.😂

while growing up, there's always this gist that Nigeria and India played football and India did juju and scored 99-0 or 99-1 in some cases. I remember my cousin giving me that gist that when the ball was going towards Nigerians, Nigerian players will see a roaring lion and Nigerians will dodge. My cousin say that it would have been 100-0 if not that our keeper blocked the lion in the last minute and caught the ball.

The question always starts by "do u know why India doesn't play football?" And give u the gist. And say it's the reason India was banned from playing football

Padipadi:
Who remembered this lie? India 99-1 Nigeria. It should be the most successful lie in the history of Nigeria.
The indomie generation won't know this.

Frontdude:

They are not playing till date becos fifa gave them hundred years ban. This was becos they were using jazz to play against every team.

Lukuluku69:


Lol

Sam Okwaraji came into the picture later. The lie predates him.

In my time, it was Thunder Balo

Thunder...... Remember your left leg!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the lone goal we scored

Exactly.

😂🤣The whole thing confused me, I was born in the mid 90s.

That's why. It's started dieing down from the middle 90s when television became more common.

Another one is that Jayjay Okacha dribbled the whole team in Germany. It has also died down because people can now watch the video clip of what actually happened on YouTube. And men. It's grossly exaggerated.

Sam Okwaraji first game for Nigeria was in 1988 against Algeria in Enugu. We won 2-0 after Extra time. First Leg ended Algeria 1- Nigeria 0 in an Olympic Qualifier.

The Story of the Indians triumph of 99-1 go way back.

LOL!. I believed it then. How did it even start and spread?

No be small lie o
