Many have heard about this match. Some think it’s an urban legend. Some think it’s only a joke. But only few know the truth.

A long time ago, few months after the end of the Nigeria-Biafra war, the Military Governor of Lagos decided to stage an exhibition match at the then glorious National Stadium Lagos. He thought it would be a special way of celebrating Nigeria’s victory in the war, a way of helping Lagosians to forget the sad bloody years that had just passed. He wanted to stage the match between Nigeria & Ghana but was advised against it. His advisers reminded him how Ghana trashed Nigeria 3-Nil at the 1960 Independence Match, that another loss to Ghana might defeat the purpose of the exhibition match. His advisers suggested that they choose a team that would be very easy to beat.

Brig Gen Mobolaji Johnson agreed. Ethiopia was considered. Zimbabwe was considered. India was considered. USA was considered. And India was chosen. He & his advisers believed that India would be a walkover. But had he known what would happen he might have chosen Brazil. Yes, Brazil were the reigning world champions at the time but… Oh, had he known.

India agreed to play the exhibition match with Nigeria. In fact, they were overjoyed. Nigeria was one of the best teams in Africa. And they had never played with an African team before. What more! They were most overjoyed that Nigeria had agreed to their three special conditions. What were these conditions?

Well, on that fateful day, a bright Saturday afternoon on August 15th, 1970, the National Stadium Lagos was filled with excited spectators. That was Condition No. 1, that the match be played on India’s Independence Day. As the players of Nigeria & India came into the pitch, spectators screamed with more excitement as they saw that all the twenty-two players were barefooted. That was Condition No. 2. (Remember that India had withdrawn from the 1950 World Cup because they weren’t allowed to play barefooted.)

Priiii… Referee Mohamed Touati blew his whistle to begin the game. (The Tunisian referee had been suspended by FIFA earlier that year but had accepted to officiate this special match.) Indian forward Amer Al-Amer made the first pass. And before anyone could say “Bosnia-Herzegovina”, one Majed Suleman fired the ball high into the air towards the Nigerian post. The gaint of a Nigerian keeper, Emmanuel Okala, dived to the right while the ball dropped into the left side of the net. Gooooaaal!!! 3-0. That was Condition No. 3, that each goal scored by India would be counted as 3points while each by Nigeria would be 1 as usual. (Nigeria agreed because they believed that India could never score. Or at least couldn’t score more than one goal.) Emmanuel was looking confused. He was very sure he had dived towards the ball. Every other person thought he’d deliberately let the Indians score just to spice up the game. Meanwhile, India’s fan club was going wild with jubilation.

Priii… The Nigerian forwards Sunday Atuma & Thompson Usiyen passed. As Thompson passed to Paul Hamilton, he was surprised when he saw India’s Faisal Al-Dakheel with the ball. Faisal quickly shot the ball into the air towards Nigeria’s post. Goooal! 6-0. Thompson was so confused. He could have sworn it was Paul his teammate he had passed to.

Priii… Sunday Atuma passed into the Nigerian half. Alloysius Atuegbu passed to Haruna Ilerika. Haruna made a long pass into the Indian half to Samuel Okoye. He was shocked when he saw the ball in the legs of Abdullah Al-Shemmari. Haruna wiped his eyes in disbelief. Too late! Abdullah shot the ball into the air. Goal! 9-0. Three goals in barely six minutes? Nigerian spectators were wondering what was happening.

Priii… Goal! 12-0. Yusuf Al-Suwayed. 15-0. Amer Al-Amer. 18-0. Majed Suleman’s second goal. 21-0. Abdulaziz Al-Buloushi. 24-0. Majed’s hat-trick. 27-0. Faisal Al-Dakheel’s second goal. 30-0. Waleed Al-Mubarak. At the twentieth minute, Nigeria’s Paul Hamilton ran with the ball all the way to India’s box-18. But as he raised his leg to shoot, he slipped & fell. India’s defender Mahboub Jumaa easily took the ball as Paul lay on the ground moaning like a baby. That was the nearest Nigeria had gotten to the Indian post so far.

Twenty-five minutes later & eight goals more, the score stood at 54-0. Some spectators angrily left the stadium even before the half-time whistle. Others waited patiently, hoping that Nigeria would revenge in the 2nd half.

“Boys, what the hell is happening out there?!” Coach Jorge Penna was furious. “You’re the damn captain, answer me!!” he was shouting at Emmanuel Okala.
Emmanuel was speechless. He didn’t know what to say.

“Co-co-coach…” Godwin Achebe began “I think I know what’s happening sir”
The coach was glaring at him now.
“Those Indians dey use juju. They’re using ma-magic.”

“Yes! Yes!” his teammates echoed & nodded & murmured amongst themselves.

“Shut up you fools!! Magic my foot!!! There is no magic in football!”

The Scariest Motivational Pictures

At 12 years old, Martin Pistorius became sick. Doctors suspected a brain infection, but couldn’t tell exactly what was wrong or how to help. Progressively he lost normal body functions — movement, ability to make eye contact, speech. He eventually failed every mental awareness test, and his parents were told he was “as good as not there.” He was thought to have the intelligence of a three-month-old baby. His father brought him to a daycare facility at 5 every morning, picked him up 8 hours later, and made sure to turn him over as he slept so he didn’t get bedsores. He had lost his ability to act for himself. The scariest part is not what he lost though, it’s what he kept: Two years into this unexplained coma, Martin said he “began to wake up.” He couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, couldn’t do anything. But he was very much alive inside. Trapped within a useless body. At one point, his exhausted mother looked into his eyes and said out loud, “I hope you die.” "Ev...

Child from the past

Child from the past. The Röst Girl was the preserved body of a young girl discovered in a bog, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, in 1926. Studies revealed that she lived sometime between 200 BC and 95 AD. She was around three years old when she died and is possibly the youngest bog body ever found to this date. Unfortunately, the body no longer exists. It was destroyed (along with so many other historical artifacts and treasures) during WWII. Only a woolen cloak that was found wrapped around the body remains. The cloak was used to date her remains, sadly I have not found any pictures of this cloak. The cause of her death is not known.

THE MAN WHO SURVIVED EXECUTION: EL FUSILADO

THE MAN WHO SURVIVED EXECUTION: EL FUSILADO Wenseslao Moguel was sentenced to death by being shot by a police squad. He was shot 9 times, including a shot to the head by a squad commander in close proximity to ensure his death. Somehow, he survived and escaped to his village to enjoy the rest of his life. The photo was taken in 1937 on the radio show Ripley's Believe It or Not, where Moguel showed marks of bullets which penetrated his head from close range. He was sentenced to death without a trial, and was shot 8–9 times in the body. He received the coup de grâce, or one final shot to the head at point-blank range to ensure death, yet managed to survive, though he was permanently scarred and disfigured by the event. Sentenced to execution by firing squad during the 1915 Mexican Revolution, Wenseslao Moguel survived despite being shot nine times, the final coup de grâce, a bullet shot through his head by an officer to ensure death. His story of survival was so incredible that it ca...

A Nigerian restaurant has reportedly been shut down for cooking human flesh and serving it to customers

A Nigerian restaurant has reportedly been shut down for cooking human flesh and serving it to customers. The police were tipped off by locals who suspected something horrific was taking place inside the kitchen. They raided the hotel restaurant to discover human heads which were still dripping with blood in plastic bags. A local priest who ate at the restaurant - in the south-eastern province of Anambra - was alarmed at the price of meals there, let alone where the meat came from,BBC Swahili reported. He was presented with a bill of 700 Naira - around £2.20 - when the daily wage for tens of millions of Nigerians is approximately 60p. The priest said: 'The attendant noticed my reaction and told me it was the small piece of meat I had eaten that made the bill scale that high. 'I did not know I had been served with human meat, and that it was that expensive.' The police also found a terrifying arsenal of weapons which included grenades when they raided the restaurant. Ten peo...

Humans Are More Likely To Create A Male Child Than A Female Child

Although I also recall a study (don’t know if this was anything official) that concluded it’s more fun to make a baby girl. It seems the more sex you have, the more likely you are to have a girl. But However More male children are conceived than female, and at 3 months gestation, males outnumber females by about 120:100. However, male fetuses suffer more prenatal death than females, so by birth, the ratio of males:females is about 106:100. Then throughout life, even in infancy and childhood, males die at a higher rate than females, and after middle age, females outnumber males. Thus there are more widows looking for eligible men than widowers looking for eligible women. Males usually exceed females at birth but subsequently experience different mortality rates due to many possible causes such as differential natural death rates, war casualties, and deliberate gender control. Men are more muscular and can lift more weight, but in terms of survival, it seems pretty clear than men are t...

Crocodile hunters use babies as bait

Crocodile hunters use babies as bait White People Feeding Black Babies to Alligators Really Happened In the Bayou region and Southern states, small Black children would be stolen from their mothers and left in alligator territories to be used as bait. The crying Black infants would be used to attract alligators for hunting purposes.

Man Allegedly Robs Bank of $1 to Get Health Care in Jail Richard James Verone is an American man who gained national attention in 2011 after he robbed a bank of $1 in Gastonia, North Carolina. Verone, who was then 59 years old, claimed that he committed the robbery because he was desperate for medical attention, having lost his job, his health insurance, and his savings due to various health problems.
