When Nigeria Win Brazil,
When Nigeria Win Brazil ooO
Bebeto start to cry
When Nigeria win Brazil.
I was very young and tinny, but i couldn’t help the
euphoria, but to join the jubilating crowd in dancing, singing and hitting the local
drum as we danced and matched in droves, singing to Hausa quarter, the area that
one of the team member Wilson Oruma father has a house.
It was quite a distance, but the joy and gladness in our
heart made the journey looked like a stone throw, we got there, not expecting
to be fed with food or drinks, as it was around the wee hours of the day, aside
that who would have thought we would have been victors.
Twenty years after, the story has been different, the
journey to this year Olympics in Brazil has been characterized by funny stories, from no flight fair for Athletes to our soccer team stranded in the
US, when they have the opening match in less than 48 hours.
There was already a crowdfunding plan underway for Warri
to support Nigerian athletes with a million naira, until the federal government
debunked the rumour that they didn’t send out any mail, that they are not paying for flight fares. Today is not for us to discuss if it’s true or not, but
the recent episode with our soccer team, that the team manager, Samson Siasia coming
out to say they don’t have money, or the team not having the right Jet or
whatever to fly to Rio, when the team has the opening match, suggest that
incompetence is a big example of corruption killing our Nigeria.
Another #HOW (Human of Warri) Oghenekaro Etebo who played for our darling Warri Wolves is in #DreamTeamVI and he scored
four goals in our opening.
No excuse is good enough, we are not incompetent but
competent people, we are self motivated, we are the #newwarri.
Have a great weekend.
