BleedingPen: The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, on Monday, marked the 30th anniversary of the death of football star, Samuel Okwaraji, Igbere TV reports.
Igbere TV reports that Okwaraji died while playing for Nigeria at the National Stadium, Surulere, August 12, 1989.
NFF shared a video in memory of the late footballer, in a tweet obtained by Igbere TV from @theNFF.
“We still feel and respect the labours of our heroes past, and we want to say today, being the 30th year that Late Okwaraji passed on while playing, we still feel the sacrifice and patriotism that he showed, playing for this great country. And we have learnt great lessons from that patriot, even as we continue to use his attitude to guide young talents”, Amaju Pinnick, president of NFF said in the video.
“It’s been 30 years since this real and true Nigerian Patriot passed on while on duty for the country. Keep resting in peace, Samuel Sochukwuma Okwaraji. #WeRememberSam”, the tweet further read.
Apart from being a footballer, who played for Nigeria, Okwaraji was also a lawyer who had Masters in International Law from the Pontifical Lateran University, Rome.
Born on May 19, 1964, Okwaraji died on the field after suffering heart attack, as the Ambulance brought in to evacuate him reportedly refused to start.

It's already 30yrs. The man with dreadlocks. He is worth being remembered. I remember watching the match wen he slumped and d technical crew rushed in. It's so sad his life came to a halt at dat moment on d field. Commendations to the NFF for this. |

FisifunKododada: If Islam and Muslims are sure of their religion...why do they insist that non-Muslims should declare for Islam before they can criticize their religion on Nairaland? The problems of Islam can never be hidden from people like me who have read the koran. The koran, just like the bible, is filled with some very bad and outright devilish proscriptions - like 'kill non-believers.' Islam can run but it can never hide. As long as the internet is available, we will continue to expose these religions that are destroying our country. Hmmm Did you buy or stupidity or u got it 4 free |
